“As a person with celiac disease, the world of beer has been so exciting to learn about and grow in. I hope to brew classic styles and modern takes of great beer using nontraditional ingredients so everyone can enjoy it,” said Zeiger.
Gloria joined the Ground Breaker team in December of 2019. Originally from the Midwest, Gloria attended Saint Mary’s College, a women’s college in Notre Dame, IN. She then enrolled in the University of California Davis for Winemaking program. Her family moved to Portland in 2016, where she worked at several wineries around the Willamette Valley. She can be found gardening or hiking with her two dogs and husband.
“With Gloria’s knowledge base, her experience attending UC Davis, her experience in the wine industry and her years spent at Ground Breaker, it’s really exciting to have her take the reins at the brewery,” said Founder James Neumeister. “Her first beer releases, Carrot Cake Cream Ale and By the Sea Gose, have been extremely well received by our customers and I look forward to seeing what comes next.”
Former Head Brewer Tyler Kueber is shifting his focus towards research and development. The brewery has accelerated their R&D efforts in the last year to better respond to requests from their customer base, concentrating on sour beers, low calorie beers, and incorporating additional gluten-free grains.
