BREWMASTER

Damian McConn

More than 20 years ago, Damian made the enlightened decision to leave the European brewing industry for the bright lights of Minnesota. "Damo" keeps a watchful eye on all of our brewing. He also routinely examines our beers to make sure they’re within specification.

Riley Yawn-White

Some of Riley’s favorite things in life are making beer and making people smile, particularly making people smile by making them great beer! His favorite style is a classic Vienna Lager, the beer that made him realize there was more to the drink than just domestic lights. His favorite thing about being a brewer is the fact that it’s a constantly evolving field; there’s always something to learn about beer!

Steve Talarczyk

Meet Steve. Steve loves beer. He also prefers a good, hard day’s work doing something he loves with people who feel the same. Thankfully, the brewing industry blends these loves perfectly for Steve. And after one of those long hard work days Steve enjoys a cold, crisp Pilsner or Lager. He typically drinks this beverage while in the company of other like-minded individuals at the Ratskeller.

Mallory Woodle

Mallory’s favorite beer style has got to be a lager or a Pilsner. She loves anything light/medium bodied, crispy, and malty. One of her favorite things about being a brewer is the variety of work on a day-to-day basis. There is always something to do and learn!
