Speaker
Brian Quinn
Head Brewer and Director of Operations, Town Brewing Company
Huntersville raised, bleeds Tar Heel blue. Science buff and history junkie. Hardcore foodie who you might find foraging for unique ingredients for both cooking and brewing. His love of fermentation extends way beyond beer: think kombucha, fermented sausages, pickles, and hot sauces. After years of homebrewers’ clubs and competitions, he walked away from his investment banking job to immerse himself in the beer industry. AKA: Bartending, keg washing, and hand-filling and labeling a whole lot of bottles. He graduated from the Siebel Institute Master Brewing program and his commitment to education is evident based on his incessant craft quizzing of Team Town. Brian brewed at Foothills Brewing and helped launch Georgia-based startup, Printer’s Ale Manufacturing Co., before (Charlotte)Town called him back home. He has a soft spot for dogs, rescuing a feisty beagle who has a nose for some eggnog, but luckily leaves the beer to her owner.
