The brewery was founded by Joe Uhl, who brings over 46 years of senior management experience from prominent restaurant chains across the U.S., including Wendy’s, Popeye’s, and Church's Chicken. His passion for craft beer began over 15 years ago, sparked by his son’s introduction to local brews at The Brick Store in Decatur. Inspired by his German surname “Uhl,” which translates to “owl,” Joe chose the name Horned Owl Brewing to reflect both personal heritage and the creative potential of owl-themed beer names. The brewery was made possible by the passage of Senate Bill 85 in 2017, which enabled local craft brewing operations in Georgia, and after overcoming challenges in finding a suitable location, Horned Owl Brewing opened in Downtown Kennesaw.

While the business operates in Acworth, its taproom is situated in Downtown Kennesaw, near the heart of the entertainment district. The location is on South Main Street, a central corridor in the city’s commercial core, and is part of a vibrant neighborhood that supports local culture and events. The brewery’s focus on community, live music, and a relaxed social environment has helped it become a recognized gathering place for locals and visitors alike.
