A former naval submarine sonar technician, Eddie eventually surfaced to immerse himself in the science of brewing beer and hard cider. Drawing upon the range of flavor profiles he experienced while traveling in the service, Eddie brought his passion for experimentation to the craft, sharpening his skills at the knee of his father, whose credo was “When life hands you lemons, ferment ‘em and see what happens.” Now at Clarksburg, Eddie is happiest when he’s tinkering with ingredients, each batch one step closer to our next offering—or to completely blacking out.

“Alcohol is in my blood. Correction: making alcohol is in my blood. I craft cider the same way my dad taught me 15 years ago – with the best ingredients, patience and a whole lotta fun!”
