Inc. 5000 Recognizes NoFo Brew Co for Second Year as Growth Accelerates

NoFo Brew Co is proud to announce its inclusion on Inc. Magazine’s 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America. This marks the second year in a row the craft brewery and distillery brand has received this prestigious honor.

This year, NoFo ranks number 3,329 overall, number 144 among companies headquartered in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Alpharetta metro area, number 106 in the food and beverage category, and number 161 in the state of Georgia. This placement represents a leap of more than 500 spots from last year’s number 3,893 ranking.

“It is an honor to be named to the Inc. 5000 list for the second year in a row,” said Joe Garcia, Co-Founder and CEO of NoFo Brew Co. “We feel like it is no small feat to make this list given the economic and industry challenges present over this past year. Our team has worked very hard to continue to grow NoFo and jumping up over 500 spots on the list was a nice surprise.”

NoFo Brew Co first appeared on the Inc. 5000 in 2024 as the only craft beer and spirits brand from Georgia to make the list and one of fewer than ten nationwide. This repeat recognition in 2025 underscores the company’s sustained growth, operational resilience, and deep connection to its community.

Founded in 2019, NoFo Brew Co will celebrate its sixth anniversary this fall. In just six years, the brand has expanded from its flagship Cumming, GA location to multiple taprooms across North Georgia, and a growing distribution footprint in Georgia, Florida, the UK and Ireland.

The Inc. 5000 list ranks companies by their percentage revenue growth over a three year period. According to Inc., the 2025 honorees collectively generated hundreds of billions in revenue and created tens of thousands of jobs across the United States.
