Jeremiah Zimmerman

Objective

My goal is to continue to provide, through my experience several quality offerings of fermentation I have been successful at producing a standard of quality and excellence that has won the favor of many beer geeks like myself. I am a driven, goal oriented person, easy to get along with and great at becoming autonomous to my job specifications. I am in my ninth year as a professional brewer in a lead brewing role. I have many commercial BBL’s of excellent beer under my belt from my work with 3 Michigan based breweries along with consultation for several others. I would love to stay sharp brewing and using my talents to further other projects. Recipe creation to test batches to scaling and large systems. I have experience with culinary creation, execution, management and sales. I am still young, passionate and driven to bring my craft to the masses! Experience
