Our Team
Jason
Jason, a Punxsutawney native, graduated from Penn State Erie with a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering Technology. He worked as a Field Service Engineer for government and commercial nuclear power generation companies from 2008 to 2016 near Pittsburgh, PA. He moved back to his hometown of Punxsutawney to raise a family while working locally as a QA Engineer, and currently as a Field Engineer servicing hospital equipment.
Jason has pursued these jobs due to the challenging technical work where he can still work with his hands. He has been brewing beers and ciders for over seven years. He enjoys making and tweaking challenging recipes such as German/Czech lagers, farmhouse saisons, and kettle sours.
Matt
Matt grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Bucknell University with a Bachelor’s in Chemical Engineering. While working for a large energy company, he traveled around the US, Europe, and Singapore. Matt and his wife also enjoyed touring breweries throughout the US and Europe. Marriage and children eventually brought him to Punxsutawney where he is currently employed as a Software Architect.
Starting out with boiling over a home brew kit on an apartment stove and making terrible beer for his own wedding, he has worked at mastering his recipes over 15 years of experience. Matt’s specialties are stouts and IPAs, although he does enjoy a nostalgic Natty Light from time to time.
