From Southeast Asia to Granville
Our story
It started with a backpack, a classroom in Thailand and a plate of street food.
Lonnie Hill, Rick Moller and Scott Wilkins
Why street food
Food is how you get to know a place
Before there was a brewery, there was a backpack. Our founder Scott Wilkins spent years saving up and seeing the world, including a year teaching in Thailand, and the meals he found on Southeast Asia’s street corners became the heart of everything we cook.
If you have never tried Viet-inspired street food, you are in good hands. Every dish on our menu is a little piece of that journey, brought home to Granville.
The journey
How we got here
The road
Bartending, saving, traveling
Scott started working in restaurants at 12. Through his 20s and into his 30s he tended bar, saved every dollar he could, and spent it seeing the world.
Thailand
A year that changed everything
He lived in Thailand for about a year teaching school, then traveled all over Southeast Asia, eating the way the locals did.
Back to Asia
Home, then right back
Back in the States Scott met his wife, Ashley. A few years later the two of them returned to Vietnam together and fell in love with the street food culture, the cuisine and everything about it.
2012
A tiny food truck called Mai Chau
They saved enough to buy a little food truck and started serving the street food they had fallen for, right here in Ohio.
Growing up
A noodle shop, then a brewery
Lonnie Hill and Rick Moller became partners, and the truck became a quick-serve noodle shop. The noodle shop grew a small 3.5-barrel brewery. Three partners, Three Tigers.
Today
Granville's old firehouse
Since 2021, Three Tigers and Mai Chau Kitchen have shared a renovated fire station in the heart of the village, with nineteen taps, a stage for live music, and the same street food that started it all.
Taste the story
Pull up a stool
Grab a pint of something brewed down the hall and order the pho, a banh mi or a round of steamed buns. That is the trip Scott took, served at your table.
