Growing up within walking distance of the brewery, Dr. Lee worked his way through college at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Georgia Southwestern University, a lesser known three-year stent with the Army and four years of Dental school at the Medical College of Georgia. Omaha is home to more than half of the Lee family, and Robert’s roots are just as important to him as the quality of beer produced each day. His career as a dentist has fueled Omaha Brewing Company’s beginnings and helped turn Omaha into a safe haven for family and friends alike. He owned Lee Family Dentistry in Dallas, Ga., for thirty years and owns Omalee Dental, just a few hundred yards away from the brewery. His passion for talking and caring for his patients has led him to become one of the most successful dentists in Georgia. If you ask him if he is related to the General, he is, and will gladly laugh at any jokes. Just don’t call him Bob and don’t confuse him with the Dose Equis, most interesting man in the world.
Nicknamed by Cousin Steve, and where the Blue Jeans Blueberry Ale gets it’s name, Stephanie is the brains and money manager for everything related to the brewery. She has a knack for detail and doing business right the first time. She is a former restaurant owner and Georgia Power contractor with a passion for writing children’s books. Keeping the books doesn’t exactly give her enough credit, as she also keeps tabs on everything related to the brewery and does a great job wearing those blue jeans.
A journalist, poet, construction worker, outdoorsman and marketing man, Rob graduated from Auburn University with a double major in Journalism and Creative Writing and an MBA from Mercer University. Son of Robert, he is the former editor of The Auburn Plainsman and knows his way around social media and the way of the future. His friends can often be found lost or wondering around Omaha in hopes of enjoying the South at its best and his dad is his original and biggest motivation. Craft beer hasn’t always been in his life, but his love for sour beers and even a clean IPA are more apparent than ever. His office may be filled with too much Atlanta Falcons memorabilia and “War Eagle” will surely be heard several times a day throughout the brewery.
Upon pouring, this beer is light in color with very little haze and a very thick head. Similar to traditional German-style Weissbier, this beer boasts huge banana and clove aromas followed by a wonderful taste of banana, vanilla, and spices that finishes with a fruity, smooth aftertaste. The fluffy mouthfeel can be attributed to the amount of protein gained from the wheat which also leaves a beautiful lacing in your glass.
The Doc Dweller is our adaptation of the German-style Berliner Weisse. Our Georgia-style Berliner pops with an initial tartness that gently tingles the palate and incorporates white wine and green grape notes, derived from the beautiful combination of lactic acid and New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops. With a light, golden and slightly cloudy appearance, we believe the Doc Dweller combines everything necessary to enjoy a day on the dock.
