the founders
Introduced through a mutual friend a few years back, Ben and Greg immediately connected over their Pacific Northwest roots, weather, families, careers, and eventually the craft scene in San Diego. With the rise in popularity of San Diego style IPAs, they saw an opportunity to open a different kind of brewery at the heart of the community. A destination that served something for everyone without a hint of pretentiousness.
BEN & GREG
Meet the Team
Austin
BREWMASTER
Tenured brewer, surfer and attendee of the first-ever Coachella. One day “Beans” hopes to be a runner-up on Jeopardy.
Nick
GENERAL MANAGER, EAST VILLAGE
Nick is one of the lucky few to be born and raised in San Diego. Loves his dog, his coworkers that feel like family, and any kind of sport. Although Nick prefers beer, he won’t say no to a good cocktail.
Bobby
GENERAL MANAGER, POINT LOMA
A wildlife conservator. A hospitality maven. A certified firefighter. Why choose, when you can kick ass at all of it. When he’s not at work, you can find Bobby taking a hike through the rough wilderness.
Rob
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
Aside from all things Boston sports, he’s known to hit the slopes or tee off, and he thinks the Fiesta Island Pilsner is great for shotgunning.
Beth
SALES MANAGER
Unfortunately, her HOA won’t allow her to have 100 dogs, so she had to settle for two. Beth loves great beer (Jucci Gang nation rise up), being a legit Chicago native, running on the beach, and of course — dogs.
Billy
SALES REPRESENTATIVE
Billy is our beer-loving dad joke and movie quote enthusiast. He came in second place for his Running Man in a 7th-grade dance contest. Billy’s background as a former bartender and La Jolla Shores Kayak Guide makes him perfect for serving up craft beer in sunny San Diego.
Nicole
SALES REPRESENTATIVE
Boston born and raised, Nicole lives and breathes the 5 B’s: Bruins, beaches, baking, (roller)blading, and most importantly — beer. She’s an avid runner and hiker, and perhaps most impressive of all, she can quote every single episode of Friends.
