Andrew Bell, Director of Brewing
Andrew took an interest in brewing before he was legally old enough to enjoy the fruits of his labor. While on track to pursue investment banking, the financial crisis hit, and so the self-taught homebrewer shifted gears and began entering pro-am competitions. He got a taste of his first win, which awarded him the opportunity to brew with the Bison Brewing team. He began his professional beer career at The Bruery, working in packaging, brewing, and cellar roles. His position shifted in 2014 to Experimental Brewer, and since then, he has created many of the recipes The Bruery fans have come to know and love, before leaving the company in late 2020 as their Innovation Manager.
Jonas Nemura, President
After studying industrial and labor relations at Cornell University and a brief stint in the legal world, Jonas Nemura found his passion in the world of craft beer. Starting through self-study, homebrewing and sampling at New York City’s great beer bars, his first commercial exposure was helping out at a real ale pub in New Zealand. He joined The Bruery out of Orange County, CA, in its infancy, helping to build it into an internationally recognized pioneer in specialty craft beer during his nearly 10-year tenure. He then took a more local focus while growing Chapman Crafted Beer throughout California and the West Coast. When a brewing facility in his neighborhood became available, Jonas jumped at the chance to reunite some former colleagues to create a vision of their own.
