Meet Geoffrey, Draught Works RING-Master!

Our employee Geoffrey sitting on a throne made of kegs.“I’ve ALWAYS loved beer, though I’ve gotta say I’ve noticed a slight tolerance increase in the past two years,” he muttered with a chuckle.

Geoffrey, our Canning Packaging Assistant, was hired just about two years ago when we added our Leibinger Canning Line and embarked on a whole new journey in the wild world of craft beer. . . CANNING.

Geoffrey absolutely loves his job; when he’s not supervising the persnickety 6-pack ringer, he’s boxing and building palates of our ‘flavor of the day’ on the canning line, or helping one of his co-workers around the brewery. “I just feel such a sense of accomplishment when I finish stacking and building a giant tower of beer,” he said with his signature perma-grin.

Though he’s more or less from Missoula, Geoffrey moved to Seattle with his family at a young age for a change of pace before eventually returning to Missoula in 1997. “Sometimes, I think about venturing out to live somewhere new, but I love being active outdoors, and I really love my job and learning more about brewing,” he exclaimed.

Though winter can sometimes bring out his video-gaming-anime-watching-hermit-side, Geoffrey is an avid outdoorsman. He loves hiking, biking, running, snowboarding, and floating. . . Essentially anything he can do outdoors with the sun on his back and the wind in his face! “I’m super excited for floating this year. I just bought the coolest tube, and I can’t wait to get it on the water.”

A fearless flavor fanatic at heart, Geoffrey LOVES the BIG BOLD TASTES found in IPAs and Cajun fare (namely catfish creole), but when he’s not downing a Sweet Heat Mango Habanero IPA or a Space Dust IPA from Elysian Brewing, you can find him sipping on a pint of dry bitter stout, “I’m just not a big fan the sweeter dessert stouts.”

Geoffrey is a total sweetheart and adores ALL animals, especially cats! “I love to wind down watching really bad movies. . .  anything from Westerns, to Sci-Fi, to Mystery Science Theater,” with his kitty after a long day at the brewery. He also throughly enjoys watching Youtube videos of people removing giant wasp nests from their homes. . . But I gotta say wasp videos sound like a giant BUZZ KILL! Just kidding!

Geoffrey has a rockstar work ethic, an infectious smile, and an unwavering can-do attitude. We are so grateful to have him on the Draught Works Dream Team!
