THERE’S A NEW MALTSTER IN TOWN…
Meet Craig…the latest addition to the Riverbend team
In order to handle the recent influx of orders, we’ve recently hired Craig Weitzel as assistant maltster. Some of you may already know this gentlemen as a member of the Bruisin Ales team here in Asheville. His interview and subsequent job offer stem from a casual conversation at the shop and within a few short days he was helping us rake the malt!
Craig hails from the west coast beer mecca of San Diego and has a fairly exhaustive knowledge of America’s craft beers and a true passion for the industry. As with many of us, he jettisoned his degree (in Accounting) to work in the craft beer world. Also an avid homebrewer, we have plans for him to assist in the R&D side of the business as well. His Rye IPA will be available for sampling at this year’s Asheville Food and Wine Festival along with a Belgian Saison that I’ll bring along.
