From Local Brewery to Global Brand Right In the Tanks
Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi brewers of Asahi Super Dry acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. We continue to brew/batch many styles of beer, seltzer, and soda in addition to Asahi Super Dry. Our cellar department alone is 30 brewers strong, running production around the clock across five shifts.
