Brewing With Dad

Here at Northern Brewer, we believe the best part of brewing is sharing the homebrew experience. To go one step further, being able to share the experience with a parent or a child is even more rewarding. With Father's Day quickly approaching, we reached out to Dads in the office and asked them to share their #BrewingWithDad stories.

1. Todd, Director of Retail & Customer Service

Favorite Dad joke:

Child: "Dad, I'm hungry." Dad: "Hi Hungry. I'm Dad."

Todd is a father to 5-year-old named Roy. He also happens to be a brewing veteran. With 13 years of brewing experience under his belt, Todd has a piece or two of wisdom to share with aspiring brewmasters.

Favorite Dad joke:

Child: "I need a haircut." Dad: "Just the one?"

Gesta is a dad to a 13-month old boy named Beau. With a toddler in the house, Gesta's joyfully embraced the challenge of keeping his son both involved and happily distracted during brew days.
