PAUL, Owner/Brewer
Paul had the passion and vision to start brewing craft beer in Munich first as a hobby, and eventually as a profession. Starting a business outside of one's home country is daunting. Starting a brewery in Munich's brewing district is, well, a little crazy! But he figured he wasn't the only one missing a diversity of beer styles here, and he was right!
You can find Paul bouncing between the brewery and taproom, hosting tastings, and at serving beer at festivals.
JEN, Owner/Sales Operations
Jen manages customer facing aspects of the business: the taproom, tasting events, marketing, social media, and keeps the front of house operations running smoothly.
She is a connector, working with local partners and networks to support the growth of Munich's craft beer community.
Her favorite place is in the taproom getting to know customers.
Jen tells the complete story of Higgins Ale Works on the Germany Expat Business Show Podcast!
BOB, Head Brewer
Bob has brewed with us since the beginning and was integral in our transition to a commercial brewery.
He grew up in California where his love of craft beer evolved before moving to Munich around 20 years ago.
His research on beer style histories and ingredients from around the globe influence our flagship and seasonal ales.
If you see Bob in the taproom, feel free to ask him about the beer.
ANNETTE, Customer Care
Annette is a multi-talented dynamo that keeps customers coming back. She always offers a friendly smile and makes everyone feel welcome. She supports us not only in the taproom but wherever we need her - in the brewery, at events, and sometimes wielding a paint brush.
Say hi to Annette Wednesdays and Saturdays in the taproom.
DENNIS, Brewer
Dennis joined us as a brew student while studying at the world famous Weihenstephan Brewing School. He recently graduated from the Braumeister program and now works alongside Bob, perfecting recipes and delivering consistently great brews.
Dennis is often in the taproom after a Thursday brew day.
ANIAN, Assistant Brewer
Anian works in the brewery while completing his studies at Weihenstephan Brewing School. He always lends a hand wherever needed, from brew prep and clean up to canning, labelling and pouring a few beers for our guests.
Anian usually ends the workday in the taproom - look for him on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
