St. Paul, MN - Summit Brewing
today announces that brewer, Damian McConn, will be taking on the title and role of head brewer. McConn’s new position will include oversight of the brewing department, training of new personnel, new product development and brand ambassadorship.
“It’s very exciting to be a brewer in Minnesota as the local craft beer scene continues to grow and expand,” said McConn. “I’m honored to have the opportunity to play an increasing role in Summit’s contribution to that growth.”
McConn’s interest in the brewing and distilling industries began with a high school research project on the Cassidy Brewery and Distillery in his native Kildare, Ireland. He then completed an honors degree in Brewing and Distilling at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, followed by stints at Ireland’s first craft brewery and at the Guinness brewery in London.
After moving to Minnesota in 2000, McConn spent three years as head brewer at Sherlock’s Brewpub before joining Summit in 2003 as a production and project brewer.
