Owners

  • Dr. Tyson Purdy

    Dr. Purdy (one of the “Two Docs”) practices family medicine here in Lubbock. Originally From Muleshoe, he fell in love with craft beer and home brewing while in residency. When he moved back to West Texas he joined up with friends and family to found Two Docs and share his love of beer with the city. He in particular enjoys drinking our Hayes-E-Baby IPA.

  • Dr. Eric Cunningham

    Dr. Cunningham is a Veterinarian and Owner at Live Oak Animal Hospital. He became a craft beer lover and joined his cousin Dr. Purdy to start “brew days” in their back yards. This back yard family atmosphere is the inspiration for our patio and taproom. Eric’s favorite Two Docs brew is the Prairie Dog Porter.

  • Jon Stephens

    Jon came on as a founder of Two Docs and close family friend day one. He is the Market President for Southwest Bank and a Lubbock native. Jon has the nickname “Keg Slayer” and is known for drinking the last pint of a keg all over town. Especially if it’s the Red Dirt Cold IPA.

  • Shon Ross

    Shon came on early as a founder of Two Docs. He is close friends with the rest of the group and lends some incredible business acumen to the group. He is the jack of all trades of the group. For pretty much anything you need, Shon knows a guy. Shon loves an afternoon Buddy Hoppy IPA.

Management Team

  • Eric Washington, GM/Owner

    Eric is a founding member of Two Docs. When he joined up with his brother in law and cousin to start Two Docs he had no idea it would become his career. He was introduced to craft beer while in the Marines via amazing breweries like Pizza Port, Stone, and Ballast Point. His duties consist of keeping back of house and front of house from going to war with each other every day and making grammar edits to social media posts. His favorite beer is LOVE Pilsner… wait no, Buddy Hoppy, or maybe Lubbock Light.

  • Taylor Swift, Director of Sales

    Taylor has also been with the company since day one. He developed, staffed, and manages all outside sales for Two Docs. With well over 100 local restaurants and bars carrying our beer on draft and dozens of package and grocery stores carrying our cans he’s really done an incredible job in just a few years. He is well known in the industry and truly bears our ethos and culture everywhere he goes. He says his favorite beer is our Chilton Gose. He said, “It’s straight bussin, no cap fr fr.”

    Collin is the man! He’s been with us since January 2022 and has become an integral part of our team.
