ABOUT
I am an award winning brewer who has worked in every part of a brewery imaginable. My journey began in college when I started homebrewing, going to homebrew meetings and visiting breweries. I fell in love with how friendly, open and willing to share ideas and information everyone was, in addition to the creativeness of crafting new beers.
​ Soon after I decided to get more serious and took brewing programs at the Siebel Institute and Doemens Academy to further my education.
Since then I have had the privilege of working for some of the best and most successful breweries and brewers out there.
Over my career I have been the kind of guy who would stay late and go in on days off to learn anything he could. From new processes, to equipment, to how to manage a team. I would go to other breweries constantly to see what they were doing and how they were doing it, sharing ideas and information.
​

From getting to fist bump Charlie Papazian after winning a gold at my first ever GABF to creating countless new beers and befriending brewers from all around the world. I am eager to share my knowledge and insight learned from these experiences with breweries everywhere who may need some guidance. I am currently living in South Carolina but am more than willing to travel just about anywhere for the privilege of working with you and your brewing team.
​
Cheers!
Paul Papantonio
