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.

The 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-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.

 
 

Brianna Levi

Packaging Brewer

Coming 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.

 





 

MIKE STARK

Darien Taproom Manager


A relative newcomer to the Miskatonic flock, after years of homebrewing and plenty of time in front of the bar, Stark decided to try his hand on the other side of the bar. After a relatively quick transition from bartender to Taproom Manager, continued curiosity of the craft has him periodically assisting the brewers when need arises. Truly a jack of all trades, master of none (yet).
