Our Leadership Team
It all starts with people. We firmly believe that our success is dependent upon building a team of employees and advisors who share our passion, vision, and determination to build a successful brewing company and a thriving communal space in the heart of Butchertown.
Our founding team consists of six individuals with aligned personal/professional beliefs and a genuine love for spending absurd amounts of time together. We have diverse and complementary backgrounds; we believe in a divide and conquer mentality for our startup, and on-going business operations that will allow us to take advantage of everyone’s unique skills and experience.
