Tech Alumni Brewing Up a New Business

Last spring, Smith Mathews, Mgt 09, and Carly Wiggins, Mgt 10, ID 10, opened their Savannah, Ga.-based Southbound Brewing Company with three beers: Scattered Sun Belgian Wit, Iron Lion Pale Ale and Hoplin’ IPA. After learning the trade at a Charleston, S.C., brewery, Mathews had decided the time was right to strike out on his own. He partnered with classmate Wiggins, who handles the marketing. On Oct. 26, the brewery opened for public tours and tasting—a date chosen specifically because it didn’t conflict with a Yellow Jackets home game.
