Nathan Todd, founder and head brewer, moved to Ocean City, MD in 2005 after vacationing in OC while growing up. His passion for beer led him to learn all aspects of his favorite drink, from bartending at several local bars to home brewing. For the last 10 years, Nate managed and operated Backshore Brewing Co and served as their head brewer for their last 2 years.
Upon Backshore’s closing, Nate knew he wanted to be sure that locals and tourists alike still had a place to go to enjoy quality brews made on the island. After years as the “other one,” “Uncle Nate” is proud to bring his passion for beer to 24th street as the creative visionary of The Other One Brewing Co. where he can put his ideas in motion and bring his passions to a broader audience.
In his new home, Nate’s signature beard (featured in our logo) and love for movies (especially Star Wars) will be on full display. For Nate, the key to good business and, more importantly, good beer, is passion
