Meet the Brewer...

HEAD BREWER

Brian Shaeffer
Originally from Edwards, Colorado, Brian attended college at the University of Oregon where he became interested in craft beers and homebrewing. Since graduating Brian has moved back to sunny Colorado to live and play in the mountains and brew high quality beer. While attending a beer festival in Vail, CO Brian became acquainted with the Silverton Brewery. When the brewer position opened at the brewery, Brian came aboard. Along with years of home brewing experience, Brian also attended formal training in Chicago, IL at the Siebel Institute of Technology and World Brewing Academy.

When not in the brewhouse Brian can be found skiing the backcountry of the San Juan Mountains.
