Tom Zurenko: General Manager |
|
| Before he was GM, Tom-z played varsity soccer at Penn State, visited more than 400 breweries in the US and Europe and got to know the regulars as our part-time bartender. Tom has three adult daughters, a sweet-heart of a golden retriever named Pearl, and a beautiful and funny wife, Suzan. |

|
Lynne Blesener: Accounting/Human Resources/Superchick |
|
| Lynne needs so many titles because she does so much that we just can't sum it up in one word. "Superchick" comes the closest. If you want to get her talking, ask about her bulldog Otis Mae. |
| Favorite Beer: Kolsch |
| |
|
Michelle Majchrzak: Tasting Room Manager |
|
| Michelle keeps the tasting room in check and the beer flowing. Don't bother trying to pronounce her last name...none of us can. |
| Favorite Beer: Bristol's Octoberfest |

|
Ken Andrews: Microbiologist |
|
| Ken is our mad scientist who does all of our quality control and yeast propagation. He came to us after 25 years of teaching at Colorado College. If you're down at the brewery, look for him in his custom-made tie-dye labcoat. |
| Favorite Beer: Bristol's Octoberfest |
| |
|
Tad Davis: Maintenance/Problem Solving |
|
| Tad decided he didn't want to be a lawyer anymore, and came to work for us. He's tons of fun...just don't call him Frank. |
| Favorite Beer: Red Rocket |
| |
|
Jeremiah Boone: Line Cleaning |
|
|
| |
|
Chris Hastings: Brewer |
|
| Chris is our newest brewer, but you wouldn't know it from hanging out in the Tasting Room -- his Bristol connection goes WAAAAY back. He was a common law employee and Quality Control Meister for at least 10 years before we finally lured him to payroll. Dad to Otis Mae the bulldog, partner to Lynne the Superchick, he's a family man, too! |
| Favorite Beer: Compass IPA |

|
Nikos Pulos: Colorado Springs Sales |
|
| The Greek geek who started behind the bar. If you see him, be sure to ask him about the Madonna mole that hides behind his moustache. Nikos now sells outside the brewery - he manages sales in Manitou and Colorado Springs. |
| Favorite Beer: Cherry Warlock |

|
Alex Spinnato: Sales Guy |
|
| Alex hails from Pueblo, so if you call him, dial the 719. Look for him in liquor stores around town or behind a jockey box at festivals -- he'll be the guy in the hat with the big laugh. |

|
Terry Nofsinger: Sales Guy |
|
| Terry is no stranger to the beverage industry -- we recruited him from a long career at Pepsi. Don't worry though, this guy's got some pretty serious beer chops too. Plus, he's very pleasant. You'll like him. |
| Favorite Beer: Winter Warlock on Nitro |

Bob Archibald: Beertender Extraordinaire |
|
| Bartender. Home Brewer. Beer Lover. Behind that grumpy-bear exterior, he just wants you to love the beer. And, now that he is semi-retired, you can find him lurking behind the bar even more often than before, which is almost any night. Talk to him about home brewing, he loves to share experiences. Check out Bob’s Home Brewing Blog “100 Bottles of Beer” at www.homebrewguru.tripod.com. |
| Favorite Beer: Compass IPA |
| |
|
Derik Gentz: Brewery Logistics |
|
| Derik roams the Colorado Springs streets disguised as a mild-mannered, multi-lingual beer guy, but if you hang around the east side long enough, perhaps you can spot his alter ego rockin' the mic as the world's first Abominable Rapping Snowman. |
| Favorite Beer: Anything he can drink at home |
| derikg@bristolbrewing.com |
| |
|
Beth Everett: Jill of All Trades |
|
| We liked Beth so much we had to steal her from La'au's taco shop. Most days you can find her behind the bar, in the office or out in the market spreading the Love of Bristol!! |
| Favorite Beer: Bristol's Belgian Tripel |
| |
|
Matt Ward: Beer Marketeer |
|
| Matt brings seriously mad skills, comic relief and an extensive collection of vintage concert t-shirts to the brewery. We feel so lucky to have him that we chained him in the dungeon so he can never, never leave. He's the guru of all merchandise, promotional products and brewery artwork. |
| Favorite Beer: Mass Transit |
| mattw@bristolbrewing.com |
| |
|
Nes Gaytan: Hero of Hops |
|
| Nes is a self-proclaimed gear head. If he's not delivering Bristol beer or sneaking in a shift behind the bar, he's restoring cars or playing with his kids. He's our kinda guy. |
| Favorite Beer: Compass IPA |
| |
|
Brett Garman: Hopspitality Coordinator |
|
| Heeding the adage, "if you want something done, ask a busy person", the Beerocrat scoured the city for the busiest, smiling-est gal she could find to assist her. Brett allegedly has a full-time job and is working on a Master's degree, but we don't know how she has the time, since she's spreading Bristol love at festivals and events most nights and weekends. When you see her out and about, say hi to her. She's nice. |
