Data Breach Summary
Georgetown Brewing Company, a well-known craft brewery based in Seattle, Washington, has reported a data security incident that may have compromised sensitive consumer information. Georgetown Brewing Company has disclosed a data breach involving unauthorized access to its servers, which may have exposed consumers’ personal identifying information, including names and driver’s license numbers.
On August 22, 2025, the company discovered that an unauthorized threat actor had infiltrated its servers. By August 26, 2025, Georgetown Brewing confirmed that certain personally identifiable information (PII) was exfiltrated during the breach.
Although the company could not confirm whether specific data was accessed by the intruder, it chose to notify affected individuals as a precautionary measure. In today’s digital landscape, such transparency is critical—but it also highlights the growing vulnerabilities faced by businesses that store consumer data without sufficient protections.
The exposed information included names and driver’s license numbers, which are often used in identity verification processes. Although social security numbers and financial details were reportedly not impacted, driver’s license data can still be misused in identity theft or fraud schemes. The fact that even a craft brewery became a cyberattack target is a sobering reminder that no business is immune to data breaches.
Georgetown Brewing responded by launching an internal investigation and notifying law enforcement. In parallel, the company engaged IDX, a third-party cybersecurity and identity protection firm, to assist impacted individuals. IDX is offering services such as credit monitoring, CyberScan dark web monitoring, identity recovery services, and a $1 million insurance reimbursement policy.
While the company has stated there’s no evidence of misuse at this time, data breaches often result in delayed consequences. It may take weeks or even months before the true impact is realized. Georgetown Brewing’s breach underscores why companies must implement proactive cybersecurity measures and why consumers must stay informed about their rights and options.
For those affected, this event could bring confusion and concern—but it also brings an opportunity to take control and hold companies accountable. With the help of legal experts, affected individuals may be able to seek compensation for their time, stress, and increased risk of identity fraud.
The unauthorized access was discovered on August 22, 2025, and confirmed data exfiltration was determined around August 26, 2025.
Note: Social Security numbers and financial account information were not impacted, according to Georgetown Brewing.
