Friends Luke Bowen and Trevor Hayward founded Evil Genius Beer Company in 2011. After meeting in College at Villanova, they bonded over their love of beer and wanted to do something more rewarding with their lives than getting a 9-5 job. Starting with only a few dollars in savings, the company now distributes all over the North East. Known for their humorous and witty branding, Evil Genius beers are easy to spot! Evil Genius opened their new Brewery and Beer Garden in Fishtown, Philadelphia in 2017.
