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.

It’s totally fun, you guys…

JOHN WYZKIEWICZ

Co-Founder

The 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 Brewer

Since 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.

Suzi had been working in the trenches behind the bar in the taproom for a while, but now she’s joined the team as our Taproom Manager. Suzi’s worked in the industry for almost 22 years, and these past 5 years she’s been exclusively slinging pints in breweries. Her favorite style of beer is IPA of all kinds. 

She loves performing in her band Black Road since 2015. When she’s not laying down the vibes behind a bar or on stage, she’ll be hanging out with her husband Tim and dog Scruffy. In addition to the liquid variety of deliciousness, Suzi loves to cook and is obsessed with tacos, hot sauce, and pizza.
