From Argenta Brewing Co.’s website: “Ryan Dunlap, owner and operator, is originally from Nevada where the word, Argenta, first inspired him. Argenta was a silver mine in the 1860’s but quickly crumbled and now sits as one of the hundreds of ghost towns in the state. This silver mine was the namesake of Ryan’s college dorm, and thus a beer company was born.”
