The HCB Brew Crew

There are lots of folks who make up Hamilton Creek Brewery. Things started back in 2003 when Scott & Jason started brewing together. Since then, lots of great people have helped out in many ways. Here is the current core of HCB:

Clint

"The Cleaner". Nobody -- i mean nobody cleans up brew gear like Clint. Those carboys are spotless, and the kettles look brand new! Sure, we try not to boil over, but he makes sure they are gleaming even if we do. Now that he's got a keg setup at his place, he's helping to...eh.."require" that we replenish our supply regularly.

Eric Clark

Eric is a great guy. He will do anything that needs to be done. He even Drove Jason to the hospital when he shot his finger! A true beer afficianado and party animal.

Gumby (Scott)

Technician, Welder, Inventor, Distributor, Wholesaler, Innovator, and all-around will-do-whatever-it-takes-to-brew-this-batch-of-beer guy. Scott makes the impossible possible. From creating counter-flow wort chillers and sprinkler head spargers, to building a custom 8-handle homebrew bar, he's literally the man with the plan for Hamilton Creek Brewery. Scott is also one of the principle stewards for the Hamilton Creek mountain bike trail and an active member of the local mountain bike scene. Oh, and he brews some wicked good beer.

Jason

Number cruncher and recipe formulator, Jason brings the nerd element to the equation that equals HCB. Jason caught the homebrewing bug back in '97 and has yet to find the cure. When not too inebriated to do so, he maintains copious notes regarding the brewing process and figures and calculates many times before adding those hop additions. While there is no chance of him keeping up with Scott & Joey on the singletrack, he enthusiastically laces up his running shoes when the guys head out to the trail. Favorite post-run beverage: IPA.

Joey

Simply put, Joey does whatever needs to be done. Grind grain? No problem. Lift 10 gallons of hot wort? Sure thing. Haul and dump 40+ lbs of spent grain out to the woods? A breeze. "Fireman-carry" Jason's drunk ass out of the RV? Yep, he's done that, too. Joey is also a monster on the trail, and brings a wealth of Nascar and Auto Racing knowledge.

Patio

By day, Patio is an engineer. That doesn't help us though, he is one of those engineers who knows how things work, but can't make them work or fix them when they break. He knows enough about the brewery and the brewing process to be dangerous, so we supervise him at all times. He is good at fanatically promoting our little operation, so there's that. He's the Chief Propaganda Officer. We also let him operate the grill, he's pretty good at that.
