One of the most common questions we get is, "Where does the name Two22 come from?" To answer this, we need to take you back to 2004, a pivotal year for our co-founder, Paige Schuster. It was then that Paige faced the heartbreaking reality of her father's sudden passing in a plane crash. Her father was a pillar of the community, instilling in Paige a deep love and passion for giving back. In his honor, the Schuster family established the Schuster Family Foundation, dedicated to supporting Colorado non-profits in education, the environment, and whole-person well-being.
As Paige grew, she carried her father's legacy through the Foundation but yearned to extend its reach. During her time at the University of Denver, she met Marcus Christianson, her now husband, who shared her philanthropic vision. Together, they brainstormed ways to further the legacy of giving back.
Their answer was closer than they realized. As avid home brewers, Paige and Marcus decided to transform their hobby into something more significant—a neighborhood and family-oriented brewery. This venture not only fulfilled their vision but also became a beloved community hub where love flows through its taps and out its doors.
The name Two22 has a unique origin. Paige was determined to create a business with a 20% charity focus but kept waking up at exactly 2:22 am. This serendipitous moment inspired the naming of Two22, which donates 22% of profits to charitable organizations, honoring the example set by Paige’s father.
And that’s how Two22 got its name! If you're inspired to contribute to our causes, you'll find a charity jar under the tap list. Remember, $2.22 out of every $10 of profits goes to a greater good.
Thank you for being part of our journey and supporting a legacy of giving back. 🍻
