Colin Kaminski

Colin Kaminski started as Brewmaster in July of 2003. He quickly changed the malts to British malts from Canadian malts and started fining our beers with British methods. While the hop characteristics are distinctly west coast the brewing process and methods are very British.

Colin learned to brew on the job and has an extensive collection of brewing textbooks. For those beginning to brew he recommends "Brewing for Dummies". For those who want to learn more technically what is going on he recommends George Fix's books "An Analysis of Brewing Techniques" and "Principals of Brewing Science". For those wanting to learn in a commercial environment there is no better text than DeClerk's classic "A Textbook of Brewing, Vol. 1". While it is now 60+ years old and some of the terminology is outdated it really captures the essence of what brewing commercially is about.

If you would like to talk beer or brewing stop by and Colin is always up for a pint and a chat about beer. He would love to show the brewhouse and explain our brewing process.
