Who is Wonderland Brewing Company’s Creator?

Ladies and gents, the time has come!

For the past three weeks, we’ve featured “rigorous” interviews from members of the Wonderland Brewing Company crew in hopes of offering some insight into the building blocks of our brewery. Whether the content was silly or serious, our goal was for you to feel a tad closer to our team.

At this point, three teammates have laid it out on the line… Our head brewer bared his soul. Our marketer spilled her guts. Our chief engineer poured his heart out. But, there’s still one more important person left to cover…

That’s right! It’s time for the head honcho, the big cheese, the boss-man – Wonderland’s Bunny Whisperer and Chief Beer Taster. Up last, but certainly not least, is our creator.

Meet our family man/surfing fan/90s music devotee, Robert.

A. Creative

Q. What is your favorite song?
A. “Summertime Rolls,” by Jane’s Addiction.

Q. If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, with whom would it be? Why?
A. A few years ago it would have been Tiger Woods because I love playing golf and it would be interesting to play at that level for a week. However, during that week, how many random women would he have hiding in the shadows?

Q. What makes you love coming to work at Wonderland?
A. Seeing a long time dream come together.

Q. Cats or dogs?
A. Dogs (but cat size, my mini poodle is the man).

A. Buying a church and converting it into a brewery. It gets more bizarre each day…

Q. What is one thing that you are most proud of?
A. My kids, they are both great people.

Q. A penguin walks through the front door right now wearing a sombrero. What does he say and why is he here?
A. Where’s that Lucero dude hiding? Got any burritos?

Q. What are you looking forward to most when Wonderland is open?
A. Has to be the variety of beers in our production calendar (it’s big with 3 yeast strains, which isn’t that simple). Watching the reaction of the community and bringing them together at a great venue, as well. I’ve also lined up some good music for that opening…

Who is Wonderland Brewing Company’s Chief Engineer?

So, you’ve gotten to know our brewmaster and our marketer. Now you’re wondering, “Who is the dude behind the building of Wonderland Brewing Company?” Time to find out!

Who is Wonderland Brewing Company’s Marketer?

Last week we interviewed our head brewer, Joshua, and found out his thoughts on songs, penguins, and working at Wonderland. We still have a few team members to get to know, though, so let’s continue our dive into the lives of the Wonderland Brewing Company crew.

Q. If you had only one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
A. Happy

A. Working with people who are very smart, creative, and open-minded. There’s great energy within our company.

Q. Cats or dogs?

Who is Wonderland Brewing Company’s Head Brewer?

Wonderland Brewing Company is made up of an entertaining crew with interesting backgrounds and passions. We all share a love for Colorado and the brewing industry, as well as the numerous bunnies that our Wonder Rabbit, Geebes, hangs out with daily.

Flush with inspiration from observing Geebes and his friends diving into their rabbit holes day after day, we decided to dive deeper into each others’ personal lives. So far, we’ve offered glimpses of who we are throughout our construction phase, but felt like we could provide so much more to you – our followers. After completing rigorous interviews, we found out just how interesting the crew claims to be.

Up first is our head brewer. Meet our nature addict/theater geek/beer expert, Joshua.

Q. If you had only one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
A. Exuberant

Q. What is your favorite song?

Q. If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not, living or dead, with whom would it be? Why?
A. Probably the Dalai Lama. I think it would be incredible to have spent a life meditating, learning, and helping people to relax and find peace within themselves.

Q. What makes you love coming to work at Wonderland?
A. I get to make beer for a living. It is an incredible experience to have a part in the food people eat and drink – it makes me feel very close to the community.

A. Probably my first trip to Las Vegas. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…
