Badger State Brewing was built in Wisconsin with a simple belief: when you take pride in where you’re from, the work feels better. Founded in 2013 by Green Bay residents Andrew Fabry and Sam Yanda, what started as a local brewery has grown into a craft beverage company rooted in community, creativity, and doing things the right way.
We believe great beer (and great workplaces) come from people who care deeply about their craft, their teammates, and the communities they serve. That means showing up curious, pushing for better ideas, and respecting different perspectives— an experience that makes us stronger.
We’re not interested in standing still. Whether we’re innovating in the brewhouse, launching new beverages like cider and seltzer, or finding smarter, more sustainable ways to operate, we’re always building toward what’s next—without losing sight of where we came from.
We’re here to invest in our people and in our surroundings. If you take pride in your work, value teamwork over ego, and want to help shape a brand that represents Wisconsin with purpose and authenticity, you’ll feel at home here.
