We are often asked what 5X5 stands for. The proper pronunciation for our name is 5 BY 5. As with our business model, our name has its history in military service.

The term 5X5 is rooted in the communications within military forces through WWII to mean "I understand you perfectly." The first number represented the Signal Strength of a radio communication, and the second number represented the signal clarity on a scale from 1-5 -- 1 being the worst; 5 being the best. Therefore 5 by 5 means the signal has excellent strength and perfect clarity - the most understandable signal possible. Five by five is the predecessor to the term "Loud and Clear" or "Lima/Charlie" used by military units today.

It has been a stressful set of months leading up to this point, but 5x5 Brewing is in the home-stretch. Our equipment is almost completely fabricated, our future home is getting the last of its renovations finalized, and licensing just needs some signatures and a green light from TABC.

We truly appreciate our 5x5 family for all their support throughout this process. So, on this special day in history, we celebrate the arrival of one of America's most shining symbols of our tenacity and enterprising spirit! Cheers to life, liberty, and the pursuit of HOPINESS!
