What Wild Leap does
Wild Leap Brew Co. is a Georgia-based craft beverage company founded in 2017 by co-founders Anthony Rodriguez (CEO) and Rob Goldstein (CRO), who left successful career paths to build an approachable craft beer brand. The company operates as a vertically integrated producer spanning brewing, distilling, and winemaking on a single site in LaGrange, Georgia, with a product portfolio that includes craft beer (Chance IPA, Local Gold, Alpha Abstraction series), Wild Leap Vodka distilled from 100% yellow corn, an expanded spirits line (Rum, Gin, Bourbon Whiskey), and the MYGOTU ready-to-drink premium cocktail sub-brand. Operations are anchored by two company-owned taprooms — the original LaGrange headquarters at 308 Main Street and a 15,340 sq ft multi-level venue at 125 Ted Turner Drive NW in Atlanta's $5B Centennial Yards development — supplemented by Georgia-wide wholesale distribution through package stores, bars, and restaurants, plus DTC e-commerce (curbside pickup, direct shipping), Amazon marketplace presence, and branded merchandise.
The business generates revenue through a mix of taproom beverage and food sales, packaged beverage wholesale to Georgia retail and on-premise accounts, event hosting (including private bookings with discounted rates for 501(c)(3) non-profits), merchandise, and online direct sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing relies on organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, Pinterest, TikTok, LinkedIn), email newsletters, and a community event/sponsorship program. The company has earned 50+ industry awards since 2017, including Beer Connoisseur's Brewery of the Year, USA TODAY's Best New Brewery, and recognition at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Wild Leap remains privately held with founder-led ownership, has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors identified, and operates exclusively within Georgia.

Wild Leap competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- SweetWater Brewing Company: Atlanta-based craft brewery with taproom operations, distribution across the Southeast, and a comparable craft beer portfolio including IPAs and seasonals. Closest geographic and category peer for Wild Leap within the Georgia craft market.
- Monday Night Brewing: Atlanta craft brewery with multiple taproom locations and packaged distribution. Comparable as a Georgia-based craft producer operating taproom-plus-distribution model targeting similar craft beer consumers.
- Terrapin Beer Company: Athens, Georgia-based craft brewery producing IPAs and seasonal beers with regional distribution. Closely comparable craft beer portfolio and Southeast U.S. distribution footprint.
- Tito's Handmade Vodka: Texas-based craft vodka brand built on corn-based, gluten-free positioning and grassroots growth. Direct comparable for Wild Leap Vodka's premium, corn-based, gluten-free craft positioning and craft-to-mainstream trajectory.
- Cutwater Spirits: San Diego-based producer of canned RTD cocktails and distilled spirits with broad retail distribution. Most direct comparable to Wild Leap's MYGOTU RTD line and distillery operations in the premium RTD cocktail category.
Broad incumbents
- High Noon Spirits: Gallo-owned premium RTD vodka seltzer brand. Comparable to MYGOTU as a category-leading premium RTD positioning but operates at significantly larger national scale with parent-company distribution advantages.
- New Belgium Brewing: National craft brewery (Fat Tire brand) with extensive distribution and taproom operations. Comparable as an established craft producer demonstrating the scaled craft beer model Wild Leap aspires to reach.
- Sierra Nevada Brewing: Pioneering national craft brewery with multiple taproom locations and broad distribution. Comparable to Wild Leap's brewing-plus-taproom model at a meaningfully larger scale.
Regional players
- Red Hare Brewing: Marietta, Georgia-based craft brewery operating a taproom and distributing across Georgia. Direct regional peer competing with Wild Leap for the same Georgia craft beer consumers and on-premise accounts.
Emerging players
