Green Bench Brewing Company was founded by Steven Duffy, Nathan Stonecipher, and Khris Johnson, who all have long histories in St. Petersburg. Their passion for the community led them to open St. Petersburg's first microbrewery. They agreed to craft unique beers, mead, and cider using fresh, local, and traditional ingredients, and to grow the brand slowly and deliberately. After developing a business plan, changing zoning laws, and receiving unanimous approval from the City, they established the brewery. The name 'Green Bench' was chosen because it is original to the brewing world and representative of St. Petersburg, referencing the city's historical green benches.
