We are beyond thrilled to officially introduce you to our new Head Brewer, Aaron Cerretti! Here is a message from the guy who makes the beer:
“Super excited to finally announce I’ve joined the team at Democracy Brewing as their new Head Brewer! My unexpected sabbatical was much needed, and I’m extremely grateful to be able to see my daughter grow every day since last fall.
It’s been amazing to have the chance to make the beers I want and run things as I see fit. Getting to name beers after my favorite songs/bands/movies is also a nice perk. I’m grateful for the team at Democracy to give me the opportunity and freedom. Pretty cool to be participating at a worker-owned brewery to boot.
I’ve been plugging away the last few months locking in the brewhouse/cellar, and I’m really happy with the results so far. Please come by and try some of my beers with our brand new menu! I’ll happily share a beer with ya!” - Aaron 🍺
