Team ATG
Meet our crew with mostly checkered pasts.
From former goat wranglers to space oddities, it takes a group of individuals to make Against the Grain the dark-humored beacon of fart jokes it is.
Together make one helluva a team!

Penny (Retired)
Head of Security, Production SupervisorPenny Has Left the Building (But She’s Still Judging You From Afar)
After years of noble service as our in-house mouse deterrent, barfly magnet, and overall queen of the brewhouse, Penny the Brewery Cat has officially retired.
She now lounges in luxurious Oldham County digs, where the floors are carpeted, the love is endless, and the kibble flows like a fresh keg of Citra Ass Down. While she no longer patrols the brewery like a furry little supervisor with trust issues, she’s still living with a brewer—just in a cozier, far less chaotic setting.
Penny spent her years doing what she does best: silently judging your pour technique, warming your barstool before you even got there, and knocking important documents off desks with ruthless efficiency. She was, and always will be, the cat who ran the place—whether we admitted it or not.
So raise your glass (and maybe a lint roller) to Penny, our retired mascot, our moody muse, our favorite four-legged mischief-maker.
Penny forever. 🐾
