Derrick
Assistant Brewer
Derek's story with brewing began when he brewed from a kit for the first time on his kitchen stove top. It was love at first hop. And like many love affairs, they can sometimes turn into obsessions - this was the case for Derek. He joined the team to learn as much as possible so he can one day achieve his goal of becoming a professional brewer.
