Chris developed a love of craft bBeer after moving around the Pacific Northwest. He attended Boise State University studying Chemistry before deciding he wanted to get into brewing. To break into brewing, he attended the Skagit Valley Craft Brew Academy in Northern Washington, which got him an internship at Farmstrong Brewing in Mount Vernon, Washington. After being hired full time and brewing there for 2 years, he decided to move to Bend, Oregon and started production brewing for 10 Barrel for 4 1/2 years. Coming back to Boise to be the Pub Brewmaster is a dream come true!
