CODY

Where did you come from?

Solon, ME

How did you get here?

After my tour at Allagash, I knew I wanted to start brewing. I sought out my last job at a water bottling facility so I could get into the beverage industry and grow my knowledge. I was at the hardware store with my dad getting supplies to build a mash ton and saw Jeff. I had met him previously at a brewfest, and I recognized the Bigelow logo on his hat, so we started chatting about how I was building new equipment for my home brewing. I got a tour and fell in love.

What do you do at Bigelow?

Assistant brewer. Got a promotion from assistant TO the brewer. I was cellar-man for a while. And cleaning. I do all the cleaning most of the time. Colin gets to brew and I get to clean up after him.

What do you do when you’re not at Bigelow?

Long walks on the beach… or the Kennebec? Just kidding. I like to brew at home, play video games, hang out with family or friends before Covid was a threat.

Favorite style of beer?

Pilsner

Favorite Bigelow Beer?

Scary Gary cream ale because it’s my recipe.

Favorite non-Bigelow Beer?

Allagash White – I went on a tour of Allagash and was inspired to start home brewing, so this beer is special to me.

Most Likely to be overheard?

“Wanna try this beer I brewed?”

Quote?

“You know what’s better than beer? Beers.”

Hopes and dreams?

Kill Colin and become head brewer. I’m kidding. Or am I? Love you Colin!

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BIGELOW?

I was originally hired to fill a kitchen position but I also was able to fill the not-yet-established social media/marketing position, which was my end goal anyway!

Favorite style of beer?

I don’t discriminate. I gravitate towards hoppy ones, though.

Favorite Bigelow Beer?

Dementia Dog but it makes me make too many typos when I’m trying to work. Jailbreak Chocolate Chili Stout is my alternate when I’m in the mood.

Favorite non-Bigelow Beer?

I like to try whatever is most funky, unique, or new to me when I’m out and about. Boomsauce by Lord Hobo is usually my go-to otherwise.

Most Likely to be overheard?

“WAIT. Lemme take a picture!”
