3. About the company
What started out as a simple class projectin Novemberof 2015 slowly turned into a full-fledged company.
The passion for beerstarted between four young women at their ripe ages of 21. Our Mass
Communication class brought us together to realize our untapped talent and business savvy to create a
new brand.
Oklahoma has a wonderful following for local craft beer, and what better way to bring people together
other than the love of craft beer. The name Borrel Brewing Co. started with that exact thought. Borrel is a
Dutch word meaning: “an informal designation for a small glass of spirits” or “getting together for drinks.”
At Borrel we want to celebrate the love of beer,which is why all of our beers are named “party” in different
languages. When we think of the word “party” we think about people coming togetherto have a good time:
old friends, new friends,family, and fellow employees.To party is to celebrate,have fun and just enjoy
oneself.
Our Mission
Borrel Brewing Co. is a community centered brand that wants to bring something new and exciting to
Oklahoma City. We want to enhance the already existing market while operating in ethically and
environmentally friendly standards. At BBC,we strive to provide consistent quality for strangers, friends,
and neighbors to enjoy!
