The city’s only Brew Master reveals his exact science

John Pinkerton has one-of-a-kind title. As the only Brew Master in the city, and partial owner of Moon River, he’s been brewing craft beer for 16 years, opening in 1999 and providing the city with quality beer ever since. In regards to being the only brewer in town, Pinkerton comments, “It’s magnificent!”

Serving on the national Board of Directors for The Brewer’s Association, Pinkerton is always looking for ways to further advance his craft. After attending brew school in Boston and working for Frederick Brewing Company (now Flying Dog Brewery) Pinkerton’s brewing talent comes from almost two decades of dedication.
