On the Trail of the Hoppy Success Story: Rupee Beer
It’s a widely acknowledged trope in the craft beer world that what starts as a hobby invariably spirals into an obsession, which, for the lucky (and hardworking) few, can morph into a full-fledged business. This has been the case for the founders of Rupee Beer, which, in just a few short years, has shot from obscurity to prominence on the national craft brew scene.
Setting the Stage: Rupee Beer’s Humble Starting Point
Founded by three childhood friends with an insane passion for cold brews, the Rupee Beer adventure started in a tiny garage in North Carolina. They combined their beer enthusiasm with a knack for business, setting their aim at crafting high quality, small-batch beers that not only their buddies could enjoy, but also the wider public who had a thirst for something uniquely flavorful, yet distinctly home-grown.
Making a Mark: Scoring a Winning Recipe
After various test brews, and no small amount of trial and error, the trio hit upon what they considered the perfect recipe – a mouth-wateringly delicious IPA that not only satisfied their cravings, but also garnered them significant buzz in local breweries and beer tasting circles.
Tasting Success: From Locals to Larger Crowds
The growth of Rupee Beer was organic. Word of mouth, backed by the reliable quality of their IPA, helped the Rupee Beer brand become a staple in the local beer scene. It is a testament to the brew’s quality that it not just won the hearts of local beer geeks but also secured shelf space at the local stores.
Beer Nerd to Mogul: Rupee Beer Takes Off
As demand for their unique flavor steadily grew, and they found their batches consistently selling out, the three friends found themselves at a crossroads: Should they continue to nurture their hobby, or give their passion project the full attention it seemed to not just deserve, but demand?
Making it Big: Expansion
The answer, as history has shown, was clear – go big or go home. And they did. After a successful run in North Carolina, the team expanded to other states, introducing their labor of love to the masses. With a mixing tank, bottling unit, and all the other equipment that goes into brewing on a larger scale, they had transformed from amateurs to professional brewers.
Ongoing Journey: Beer Crusaders Marching On
Despite their growth, one thing has remained constant with Rupee Beer: their quality. The unique IPA that started their journey continues to be the star product, with only a few other carefully handcrafted brews added to the list. And now, there’s another leap forward on the horizon – expansion into South Carolina.

It’s official! Rupee Beer is rolling out in South Carolina! With people’s unabated enthusiasm for novel flavors, Rupee Beer’s expansion into the state seems like a natural evolution. This venture is greeted with tremendous excitement by both beer amateurs and connoisseurs in the state alike, eager to get their hands on this beloved IPA.

As the brewers take their first steps into South Carolina, thanks to their fervor and our unabated love for good beer, the future looks as golden as a freshly poured pint of Rupee Beer.
