Like many brewers who apprenticed to get their start, The Englewood’s Head Brewer found his early days were not short on hours of cleaning and stacking kegs. After paying his dues, Jesse was soon hired on as brewer and eventually worked his way into Head Brewer position at Appalachian Brewing Company in his hometown of Harrisburg, PA. In his time there, Jesse formulated many of the award-winning recipes that are still being enjoyed on tap there today.
After collecting numerous medals in both regional and national level craft beer competitions (such renowned contests as the Great American Beer Fest & World Beer Cup) Jesse felt it was time to explore other brewing styles. A few short months later he was practicing the art of ‘extreme brewing’ with Sam Calagione and company at Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. Jesse spent the next ten years at Dogfish Head Brewing discovering the true meaning of “niche-brewing” as he worked his way up through the company, starting as Cellar Supervisor, Brewing Supervisor, and eventually as a Research & Development Brewer. In addition to helping develop and brew some of the nation’s finest, unique, award-winning brews, Jesse found new ways to explore how the world engages the craft brewing art.
