As Head Cidermaker since October 2015, Ian is charged with turning all the juice into all the cider. Hailing from Grand Junction, Colorado, and now a long-time Denver resident, Ian’s extensive and unique background in brewing, cider making, and distilling aligns beautifully with the traditional cider making processes we know and love. Having once made booze from a few ingredients in a trash bag while deployed on a U.S. submarine deep in the Persian Gulf, experimentation and trying crazy new things is what makes Ian’s cider making game best in class. When he’s not making cider, you’ll find him out on his bike, at a soccer match or enjoying some family time.
