  • Moylan'S Brewing Company
    Brewmaster
    Moylan'S Brewing Company May 2013 - Aug 2019
    Novato, California
    As brewmaster, I oversee a staff of eight whom I direct in wort production, yeast management, sanitation, filtration and carbonation of the existing production beers on a 20-bbl Pub Brewing system with an annual production of 4,200 barrels/year of English-style ales, West Coast-style IPAs and German-influenced lagers. One of my first goals after being hired was to create documented standard procedures for all tasks so that any new hire would understand their positions, duties, and how to carry out tasks assigned to them. Currently, I also oversee the logistics and work with our contract brewing partner, Heretic Brewing Company, where they brew an additional 1,000 barrels a year for us, packaged in cans, bottles, and keg. Although space is a premium at the brewpub, we have produced award-winning barrel aged and sour beers. We also mash and ferment barley wash in preparation for distillation for our sister distillery.We have won numerous awards at domestic competitions including the Great American Beer Festival, North American Brewers Association, World Beer Championships, US Open Beer Championships, and the California State Fair, as well as internationally at the Australian International Beer Awards, Brussels Beer Challenge, the European Beer Star awards. In 2016, Moylan's was awarded the Champion Small International Brewery at the Australian International Beer Awards.
  • Black Diamond Brewing Company
    Brewmaster
    Black Diamond Brewing Company Oct 2006 - Apr 2013
    Concord, California, United States
    Starting out as a brewer, my main duties included wort production, yeast management, sanitation, filtration and carbonation of the existing production beers on a 15-bbl Liquid Assests system. After becoming brewmaster, I oversaw the production of six year-round beers, four of which are bottled, as well as three seasonal offerings and the multiple one-offs. Our production levels of mostly West Coast-style IPAs and Belgian-style beers increased from 1,000 barrels to 3,500 barrels/year during my tenure. Since the brewery began bottling, I was proactive in increasing the level of quality control parameters including cell counting, plating for microbial contaminants, consistent carbonation levels for all beers and establishing a functional laboratory space for performing and recording those necessary tests.The barrel-aged program at the brewery that I started in 2009 with one beer in 8 bourbon barrels. At the time of my departure, the program had grown to over 70 barrels, with bourbon, rye whiskey, red wine, and brandy barrels with four beers coming out of the program on an annual basis.
