At Blowing Rock Brewing Company, I developed a comprehensive skill set by taking on a range of roles that spanned production management, technical operations, and cellar management. In my capacity as a Production Manager, I oversaw daily brewing operations, ensuring that production processes ran efficiently while maintaining rigorous quality and safety standards.

I also acquired over 1,000 hours of hands-on experience operating the GEA centrifuge, a critical piece of equipment in our production line. This role involved routine operation, meticulous maintenance, and troubleshooting to optimize performance and ensure the clarity and quality of the final product. My technical expertise with the centrifuge contributed significantly to enhancing product consistency and operational reliability.
Additionally, my experience as a Cellarman further diversified my expertise. I managed cellar operations, overseeing the aging and conditioning processes critical to our brews. This role required a keen attention to detail in monitoring fermentation conditions, managing barrel transfers, and maintaining stringent quality control measures throughout the maturation process.
Overall, my multifaceted experience at Blowing Rock Brewing Company has equipped me with a deep understanding of the brewing process from production and technical equipment management to cellar operations, positioning me as a versatile and effective professional in the craft brewing industry.
