The Story Behind Redbone Magic Brewing Co

The tale of Redbone Magic Brewing Co. is one of passion, perseverance, and a deep-rooted love for both craft and community. Founded by Roger and Debbie Sheppard, the brewery represents the culmination of decades of hard work and dedication. Roger, a former magician turned entrepreneur, and Debbie, a seasoned coach and educator, found themselves drawn to the idea of creating a space where people could come together to enjoy great food, exceptional beer, and live entertainment. 

Despite initial hesitations about their age—Roger at 66 and Debbie at 64—they forged ahead, fueled by a shared vision and an unwavering commitment to #maketexarkanafunagain.

Their journey to opening Redbone Magic Brewing Co. began with Roger's foray into homebrewing, a hobby that sparked his curiosity and ignited a passion for the craft. Over seven years of experimentation and learning, Roger honed his skills, developing unique and refreshing beer recipes that would become the cornerstone of the brewery's offerings. Meanwhile, Debbie's background in coaching and education instilled in them both a deep sense of responsibility to their staff and patrons, ensuring that every aspect of the business, from customer service to beer quality, was held to the highest standards.

Finally, on November 15, 2018, Redbone Magic Brewing Co. opened its doors, marking the realization of a dream years in the making. Today, Roger and Debbie continue to pour their hearts and souls into the brewery, welcoming guests with open arms and a promise of an experience that's equal parts safe, fun, and truly magical.
