Matt Morrison

Head Brewer
Virginia Beach

Coming to us from Florida, Matt is an avid history nerd, distance runner, kickballer, cornholer, board gamer, and motorsports enthusiast. He was raised in Richmond, loves Busch Gardens, and gets picky about how you pronounce Norfolk. A former cellar grunt, teacher, fundraiser, and museum worker, Matt took the long way around to the brew stand, but loves every minute of it now that he's there. His expertise particulière is in brewing lagers and lesser-known old world styles, often with a touch of thoughtful edits or unique ingredients. Matt and his wife recently added a future beer enthusiast, baby Charlotte, into their family in January.
