Mac and Whitney Brewing is very proud of how the logo for their company came to be. The founders of the brewery value their English family histories. The barrel is an emblem used in the English Coat of Arms to indicate the bearer was an original vendor of beer or wine. The mast represents family ties to the Mayflower. John Alden is Russell’s great-grandfather 10x’s removed. He was in charge of maintaining and building the casks for the mayflower and first settlers at Plymouth. Russell’s family helped provide libations to the first Americans and now Mac and Whitney Brewing continues by providing high quality brews to you.
