The craft brewery destined to be Gwinnett County's first now has an official name.

Slow Pour Brewing Company, to be exact.

Beer-loving brothers-in-law Marty Mazzawi and John Reynolds are in the process of renovating a century-old former trouser factory at 407 N. Clayton St. — just a few blocks north of the main Lawrenceville square.

Thanks to trademark issues (and already existing breweries with similar monikers), the duo has had to bounce around several names, but announced the official decision on Facebook on Friday.

They also posted a short video showing progress inside the brewery's future home:
