Colin - Head Honcho
Colin grew up in rural Northern Virgina, with a childhood full of "all the sports and instruments a child can handle". Being the youngest child (with 3 older sisters!), gave him a competitive streak and strong work ethic, but also fueled his drive to please people and produce things that make people happy! He found his entrepreneurial spirit early, first, with plans to move to Switzerland to be a chocolatier and professional chocolate taster, and then, determined to open a restaurant and serve all his favorite foods. In 2011, Colin moved to Montana to attend the College of Business and run track at MSU. He soon found his love for craft beer and his sister's gift of a home brewing kit kicked off his interest in developing recipes and testing new brews on friends... the rest is history, as they say! Many years and obstacles later, Colin is thrilled to join Bozeman's prestigious brewing community and open the doors of LBP (Last Best Place) Brewing. Named after the moto of the state he's grown to love, he's looking forward to pushing the envelope on new recipes and bringing more good beer to the area. While you'll find him around the brewery most days, when not at "work", he's likely outside, doing farm chores, hiking with his wife and dogs, skiing or hunting.
