It’s time for another Meet & Greet session here at BrewDog, and as our most recent introductions involved getting to know our three-strong BrewDog USA team it’s high time to update that by meeting our newly-appointed fourth American-based employee.

As we have found our Head of Production for BrewDog USA.

We are hugely excited to be able to announce that we have taken on board Tim Hawn, former Brewmaster at one of America’s leading craft breweries – Dogfish Head.

Tim grew up in the beery heartlands of the Pacific Northwest, learning to home-brew as soon as the craft beer bug made him and his friends seek out interesting beers to sample and re-create for themselves. After working for a decade in his hometown brewery, Tim answered the call from another producer and moved about as far away as you can get whilst remaining on the US mainland.

“I moved to Dogfish Head to live the dream as their brewmaster. Leading teams designing and building a new brewery in the same building while trying to run the existing brewery at full speed. Not an easy challenge! I also led the development team to not only source new ingredients, but be creative and innovative all at the same time – it has been an opportunity that I don't think I would have gotten many other places.”

Dogfish Head are one of the most consistently creative American craft breweries operating today. Tim loved the beer, people and culture but after a chance meeting with James and Martin during filming for an episode of Brew Dogs, realised that with our expansion into the US with BrewDog Columbus, he could be part of building a brewery from the ground up as we look to bring our beer to the United States (and beyond)!

Speaking of which, what does he think we can do for his home country?

“I’ve been to the construction site and when the brewery is done the people of Columbus will have another awesome place to go to enjoy great beers and hang out – we will add to the awesome beer and food culture that is going on in Columbus right now. BrewDog will bring the great beers they are known for in Europe and the world to the US. With the brewery located in Ohio, people can experience BrewDog beer fresh as it is intended and should always be served!”

We are psyched to welcome Tim on board our BrewDog USA crew – his experience, skill and creativity will be invaluable to our BrewDog Columbus mission. As head of production, he will be front and centre as we introduce the US to our beers, brewed in our new Ohio facility. We love the fact that despite his long career he is still keen to take new things on board, as he says:

“You need to be a constant student. In nineteen years in the industry I can't think of a day that I haven't learned something about beer, brewing or people!”
