About Earn Your Booze

Earn Your Booze was forged in the brewing industry. The initial idea was to start a brewery. This was after founder and CEO Justin Cross served in the US Navy and project managed the most sophisticated aircraft ever designed. As he sailed around the world and saw his name on the side of the jet, Justin would clock in, work hard, and then, play hard when weekends rolled around.

Fitness became a part of his everyday life.

When Justin started working in a brewery he realized the alcohol industry, like most, isn’t centered around fitness & health. That’s why Earn Your Booze was created. Not to discourage drinking and playing hard on the weekends, just to add, preparing the mind and body. To Earn Your Booze.

Earn Your Booze has grown, incorporating Earning Itto all areas of life. Work hard, play hard, by Earning It. Earn Your Booze is a mindset. Earn It All is a lifestyle, the path to growth and fulfillment.

If you see us drinking the Dead Hanger Pale Ale consider it Earned.

In addition to continuing to brew beer, we also offer a monthly coaching group that helps you stay on task to live an Earn It All lifestyle and our signature 90-day Total Recreation where you will be able to transform your mind and body into Earning It All.
