Megan Parisi Leaves Bluejacket Brewing

From the Washington Post:

Megan Parisi, the veteran brewer who was hired at Bluejacket with considerable fanfarein 2012, has parted ways with the brewery and restaurant less than three months after the operation opened near the Navy Yard. Her last day was Friday, Jan. 17.

Greg Engert, beer director for the Neighborhood Restaurant Group, which includes Bluejacket, said the parting was amicable. He could not discuss the particulars of Parisi's departure, but said "it was by mutual agreement with all parties involved that this was the right move."

Reached at home this morning, Parisi agreed the job wasn't a great fit for her or for Bluejacket. She compared the situation to buying a pair of shoes that don't quite match the shape of your feet.

"It's nothing wrong with the shoes and nothing wrong with your feet," said Parisi, 42. The two just don't fit well.

At the same time as Parisi's departure, Bluejacket has also hired Owen Miller, a Brown University biology graduate who has apprenticed at several breweries in Europe, including De Struise Brouwers in Belgium and Thornbridge Brewery in England. Formerly a brewing assistant at Hill Farmstead Brewery in Vermont, Miller was working as a coffee roaster and barista at Four Barrel in San Francisco when he got tapped by Bluejacket.
