Kristopher Kalav began his brewing career at the legacy brewery Jos. Huber Brewing Co. in 1996 as Laboratory Manager, becoming Assistant Brewmaster under Hans Kestler in 1997. Several years later, Hans retired and after attending the MBAA Brewing and Malting Science and Packaging courses, Kris assumed the position of Director of Brewing Operations. Recipe development and neutral base production were top priorities, as were developing and implementing the cleaning and sanitation and HACCP programs and updating laboratory methodology to better meet the challenges of testing new product types. Production accelerated in 2006 under new ownership, and new SKU’s were added at a furious pace, eventually increasing production to nearly 500,000 bbls/yr.
