About 6 Bears & A Goat Brewing Company
6 Bears & A Goat Brewing Company is a veteran-owned brewery and restaurant in Fredericksburg. Its website says the name comes from its founders and the mascots of their military services. The six Bears are 20-year retirees of the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Goat is a retiree of the U.S. Navy.
The site says the seven owners have served their country for over 140 years. In 2005 they started Harkcon, a Fredericksburg-based company, and the brewery grew from the wish to expand that business. The name also nods to the good-natured rivalry between the Navy and the Coast Guard.
The beer is built on a simple idea. The website describes it as malt, hops, yeast and water, free of needless frills. Its tagline is Simply Better Brew.
