Originally inspired by a playful nickname, “Scuttlebutt” was born from the gossip at Norfolk Naval Station where Cynthia Bannan’s father served. The name was affectionately given to her at birth and later shortened to “Scuttle,” a moniker that now honors her legacy. The brewery remains family-owned and independent, having evolved from 5-gallon homebrew batches to a full-scale 20-barrel production system. Their commitment to quality is evident in every batch, with a focus on flavor, innovation, and craftsmanship. The team includes a dedicated head brewer, operations manager, and taproom leadership, all contributing to a consistent, high-caliber product.
