From brewing at home to cellar work and the bottling line, Michael knows the ins and outs of our brewery.  Michael has been a driving force behind the Brewluminati series and since his promotion to Head Brewer in the Summer of 2011 has aimed for perfection in every batch.

Michael refuses to compromise, so the next time you take a sip of an Independence beer rest assured that we used the finest malts and hops available.
