Our Brewers
The most fun you can have with a microbiology degree.
Damian McConn, Head Brewer
More than 15 years ago, Damian made the enlightened decision to leave the European brewing industry for the bright lights of Minnesota. In addition to his regular brewing duties, Damian supervises the production of our cask-conditioned ales. He also routinely examines our beers to make sure they’re within specification.
Dog person or cat person?
Neither. Likes dogs, but has been bitten 3 times so he’d rather have a horse.
Beer Cred:
- Honors Degree, Brewing and Distilling, Heriot Watt University, Scotland
- Member of American Society of Brewing Chemists
- Member of Institute of Brewing and Distilling, London
- He’s Irish
Mark Stutrud, Brewmaster/ Chief Knucklehead
A native son of North Dakota, Mark changed career paths to help bring back the great brewing traditions of the Midwest.
Mike Lundell, Lead Brewer
Mike has worked in many roles at the brewery since 1996. A “Mike of all trades,” if you will.
Mike Swiggum, Brewer
After working for three years in packaging and as Sanitation Lead in Summit Brewing’s bottle house, Mike is now a full-fledged member of our brewing team.
