TrimTab Brewing

About

Our Story. We are a small, gritty brewery founded in 2013 and located in Birmingham, Alabama that focuses on expressive IPAs, experimental stouts, and fruited sours. The end. And thank you for coming to our TED talk. Oh, you’re still here? Alright then nosey pants, here’s more about why we exist. For us, “why” we make beer is as important to us as “what” beer we make. And that says a lot, because we literally obsess over making the best beer we possibly can. TrimTab Brewing began with an idea. We are inspired by the possibility that we all have the capacity to change the world with the things we can affect; that you can “Create A World You Love!” We believe that the small things matter and that they are responsible for the big impacts we want to see in our lives. That is our message, and craft beer is our bullhorn. But, what is a Trimtab? Great question. The answer to it is why we are here today, and is actually the reason you’re on this Earth too. A trimtab is a very small, unassuming piece of equipment on ships and aircrafts. It’s the small rudder on the larger rudder, and at first it doesn’t look like much. It almost looks insignificant. But it’s a metaphor for something much larger. The trimtab takes almost no effort to move, but it creates huge impacts far beyond its size. It’s literally what pulls the larger rudder; It's what guides the ship, no matter how big it is. At the end of the day the trimtab is the actual source of how all direction and balance is achieved.
