Behind the Brews
OMNI began with a shared love of quality craft beer between our two founders, Zack Ward & Justin Walsh. This shared passion for craft beer and its ability to bring people together turned into a “what if?” “What if we could provide a place within the community where all are welcome, and there’s a beer for everyone?” With that thought, they took to Kickstarter to launch the campaign that turned this “what if” into a reality.
With the support and generosity of the community, the first taproom was built and opened its doors in Maple Grove in September of 2015. Fast forward to today (with a few beers poured & a few gray hairs in between), we’ve grown to multiple taprooms across several other communities and neighborhoods. Our taprooms are spaces where friends, families, and neighbors create lasting memories for every occasion.
This commitment to bringing people and communities together guides everything we do. I guess you could say we like to think of ourselves as a community center… but with way better beverages. While we don’t have a gymnasium, you’ll find plenty of fun weekly events, themed parties, and community gatherings—all in a place where everyone is treated like a neighbor.
Meet the Founders
OMNI was founded by craft beer lovers and friends—Zack Ward & Justin Walsh.
Zack Ward is the COO & Co-Founder of OMNI. Zack’s love for homebrewing is what eventually led to the creation of OMNI & our flagship beers. When Zack isn’t running around (literally) fixing things and taking care of our taprooms, he’s often spending time with his wife, Megan, and son, Theo, gardening, spending time out on the lake, and traveling.
Justin Walsh is the CFO & Co-Founder of OMNI. If there’s one thing Justin loves more than beer, it’s a spreadsheet. Justin’s financial expertise has played a critical role in OMNI’s continued success and growth. When Justin isn’t spending time in spreadsheets, he enjoys spending time with his wife Allana, daughter Audrey, and his twin boys Hudson & Hayes, relaxing at their family cabin, or watching the Twins & Vikings… most of the time.
Where Community Thrives and All Are Welcome
More than just a place to grab a drink, our taprooms are community centers, where friends, families, and neighbors gather to create lasting memories. Whether it’s a celebration or random get-together, our taprooms are a hub for every occasion—no membership fees required.
