CRAFTED IN A DIFFERENT REALM
So many of the greatest beers in the world were markers on the journey to brew beer ourselves. They are instructive. They are canon. And we find enjoyment in devoting ourselves to the quest of their honorable replication.
But we also love a good glitch.
Riffing on tradition and interpreting styles in a new way enables us to tilt the board and brew with a twist. It’s our way of exploring the curiosities that make beer a constantly evolving idea.
But we’ll never fully know what lies beyond.
We only ever see the edges of our own world. Impossible glimpses of the universe. We toil away in the dark of new fermentation. We enjoy the anxiety of occasionally working in the realm of chaos, tasting something unexpected, unsettling, and if we try hard enough, maybe even unexplored.
JOSH MOWRY
Co-Founder and PresidentThe Visionary. El Jefe. Forged by the American Brewers Guild. Josh is the co-founder and Demi-God of Bureaucratic Malevolence here at MBC. When not helping formulate new recipes and wrangling spreadsheets into submission, Josh is the dark figure lurking in the shadows, hoping to get you to try this new Danish boardgame where you play rival fishmongers. It’s totally fun, you guys…
JOHN WYZKIEWICZ
Co-FounderThe not-so-invisible hand. The oh-so-visible beard. John is also a graduate of the American Brewer’s Guild and cut his teeth at Goose Island and Gordon Biersch. You can find him in the back moving delicious liquid from place to place. When he’s not working, he’s likely at the end of the bar, arguing about the cultural and comedic significance of M*A*S*H (pre-Winchester) or sleeping…standing up…with his eyes open.
Cory Davidson
Head Brewer Cory joined us in the Spring of 2019 as an assistant brewer, moving to head honcho summer of 2021. Bringing to the table his knowledge of brewing and production, he has helped balance out the flow of the day-to-day. When he isn’t brewing or tinkering around in the brewery, you can find him around town playing bass in his band, Fool’s Brew.
Mik Dempsey
Production BrewerSince 2010 If he hasn’t been serving it or making it, he sure as hell has been drinking it. In August of ‘21, Mik brought more than a decade of craft beer passion to Miskatonic. While fully committed to keeping things moving on the brewing side, Mik loves reveling amongst the thirsty masses.
Brianna Levi
Packaging BrewerComing from Dry City Brew Works in Wheaton, Brianna brings years of craft brew love and head brewing knowledge! Thanks to Dad Levi homebrewing, she fell in love with the art and science of brewing, started earning certifications from Siebel, and the rest is history.
