The Team
Mike has been hand crafting beer for over two and a half decades. His love of fresh ingredients and seeing smiles on the faces of individuals that try his beers are what drive him to create the best brews in the Tri-Cities, Northwest area. Stop by the brewing company in Richland, WA and say hi to Mike, he'll be excited to get your feedback on what you think about his brews! We brew beer with character for people with taste. Give our beers a try and savor the flavor. We think you will be hooked. Cheers! If you could live anywhere, where would that be? What's your favorite outdoor activity? What was your favorite band in high school? In addition to assisting with the brews around here, Tom has lots of other roles including: Tech Support, Handyman, & overeducated Barback. When Tom isn't getting his hands dirty at the brewery, he works as a Scientist at PNNL. As our Taproom Manager, Shane takes care of all shenanigans in the taproom and enjoys scheduling staff field trips to other breweries and taprooms. She is also our self appointed quality control. Shane is a Level 1 Cicerone Certified Beer Server and is currently working toward becoming a Level 2 Certified Cicerone. The real question is: What doesn't Kevin do around here? In addition to sales and delivery, Kevin assists with brewing, sanitation, and even helps out in the taproom when needed. Outside of WBB Kevin helps his parents run two convenience stores.
