Nate comes to Hess Brewing following a distinguished 3-year tour as brewmaster for Rogue Ales at their public house in Eugene, Track Town Ales, where he was a multiple international award-winning brewer on their 7 barrel system.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Nate developed his skills as a homebrewer starting in the early 90s. In 2002, ten years later, he became a member of the Cascade Brewer\u2019s Society and had the honor of serving as its president for five years from 2004 until 2009. A Texas A&amp;M grad, Nate spent his years prior to Rogue working as a microbiologist &amp; scientist for a large, global biotechnology company and the knowledge and expertise he gained there has been a huge asset to him as he became a brewmaster.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe are thrilled to bring Nate to Hess,\u201d said Mike Hess, CBO and Proprietor of Hess Brewing. \u201cHis brewing acumen, grounded in a biological background and fueled by passionate creativity will allow Hess to build beyond its strong foundation of flagship beers. We look forward to seeing (and tasting) some truly great craft beer, as Nate adds his particular skill and innovation to our new brewhouse. And that means more great beer to our fans. No exception. No excuses.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo courtesy of Hess Brewing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looks like things are moving along at Hess&#8217; new North Park location.
