Our Team

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

Feel incompetent, play video games, overcompensate, repeat.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

Everything. I work entirely with a team of people smarter, kinder, and more focused than myself, and their influence benefits me every single day. Being a small part of our team and striving together to refine and improve upon what we do is an incredible privilege. On the other end, being able to witness people enjoying the results of our efforts is profoundly satisfying and is endlessly motivating.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

Think about the brewery far more than I should.

Between beer-related thoughts, I enjoy doing literally anything with my wife, hiking, traveling, pretending my dog can talk, and being in bed before 8 pm.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

To be an electrician, welder, or boiler technician. Distant fourth would be time travel.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

Our place in the greater Portland food and drink community. I am proud of the role we fill in this town, and I think we’ve done a good job staying true to what we set out to accomplish and provide people. I sleep easy at night knowing we haven’t compromised our morals.

I try to corral our 3 year-old, stay in shape, cook, and take photos.

I love spending time with my husband, Noah and our pups. I love growing things, getting my hands dirty, spending time in the woods – anything that involves fresh air. I also love working with metal.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Flying. That wouldn’t encourage my bird obsession, right?

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I am the Taproom Manager. I (with the amazing front of house team) provide as many smiles as possible to the wonderful patrons of the world.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

I’d say the full BBB team camaraderie. Being lucky enough to represent this brand and the quality product we produce. Also, trying to give a heck of an experience to all customers in the way of service.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I love my family. I surf. I bowl. I bike. I snowboard. I drive sweet mini vans.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Oh man. I would turn myself into a flying squirrel. The super power is … gliding without running.

I pour beer, chat with our awesome customers, and try not to break (too many) glasses. I also get to work on creative projects around the brewery.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The people! Both the friends (who are like family) that I work with, and everyone I get to meet.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

In my full-time role, I’m a senior graphic designer at Might & Main, so much of my time is spent pinching myself that I work for my two dream companies. Otherwise, I spend time with my pup, do yoga, and love to cook.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Teleportation! I’d love to get the chance to travel without having to worry about the stress of actually getting there.

Great beer, great friends, and a fun work atmosphere. I’m really lucky to have a job that puts a smile on my face every day.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I like to stay active. When I’m not working, I enjoy skiing, hiking, and mountain biking. I like working on German cars and vintage mopeds too. So if I’m not out on the trails, I’m probably turning wrenches, cursing, and drinking beer.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Time travel. I should have been a cowboy.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

Oh boy. I am the only cellarman. I cellar. I am also the Paktech champion.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Invisibility. Hands down.

I am our charitable resource and community outreach manager and I work in the tasting room. I help develop our role in the greater community and do my best to represent the company’s position in the overall bigger picture.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

We’ve created a culture where not only is the employee’s work-life balance hugely emphasized, the staff is able to cultivate and accentuate their own strengths in service to the needs of the company. I’ve been able to learn and grow so much in such a short amount of time and it’s because we are encouraged to take initiative and present new ideas. The more ownership you give your staff, the more they will do for you!

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I get obsessed with many different things, but a constant has been Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and hanging at home with my lovely finance Sam.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I’d like to be able to time travel as an observer and see what life was like in the distant past and catch a glimpse into the future.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I sell beer around the state, from the Midcoast to the Great North Woods. I crack wise. I foist music on my unsuspecting coworkers. Every now and then they like it.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

There’s so much individuality throughout our team, yet we find a way to become better friends as we go. It’s a staff that is truly dedicated to serving our home state, and puts the needs of Maine beer fans first.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I spend a lot of time working on our barn, being a dad, hitting on my sexy wife, that sort of thing. I also love trail running, and getting as deep into the woods as I can, as often as possible.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

The ability to step back into my own memories. Imagine being able to revisit the first time you met your daughter, or the first time you heard Kesha…

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

In addition to working in the tasting room, I write Bissell’s blog, newsletters, and basically anything that needs to be communicated via the written word.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

Oh gosh. My favorite thing about Bissell Brothers is feeling welcomed into the Bissell family. The staff and owners and everyone make it feel like we are all building something together.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I love hanging out at home with my fiance and our two sons, who are cats, more than anything in the world. I also like searching for new music, figuring out what the kids are listening to, volunteering at the ARLGP, getting into birding, and various creative pursuits like cooking, writing, knitting, and online shopping which DOES require creativity, especially financial creativity. Yelling about Game of Thrones is a past time I enjoy as well.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Alright, I’ve had some time to think about this more deeply and, while flying would be amazing, I think I’m going to take a page out of Britt’s book and say talking to animals. DUH! Also, after one too many long drives, teleportation would be pretty sweet.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I work in the front of the house and pour beer.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The friendships I’ve made here. They’re lifelong.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I’m a pharmacist and spend my free time with my wife and our dog, playing guitar, and hiking. We’re also new homeowners so lots ask of this old house.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Apparition. The roads are dangerous. I’ve been reading Harry Potter, clearly.

I am the quality manager and I also help run the sensory program.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

I get to combine my love for beer and science and call it a career.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

Almost all of my time outside of the brewery goes to being a dad and a husband.  When I do get free time I’m usually playing video games, exploring the world of scotch whisky and learning as much as I can.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Every “super power” has such drastic downsides when you really stop and think about it in the real world that I don’t think I’d want any of them.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I sling beers for people.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

Besides the beer, it seems the community would be one of my favorite things. Everyone is so close, it’s a family. Everyone is having a really good time.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I work at another bar. I enjoy drinking beer. I enjoy being outside. I am more of a winter person than summer, so I am far more active in the winter. During a day off in the winter I can be found at Sunday River or Shawnee Peak.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Oh, wow. You know, as I am getting older, I think healing would be nice. Not that I am falling apart, but it takes a little longer to heal on things.

A healing factor.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

Help make the beer.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BISSELL BROTHERS?

The community! What a wonderful group of people.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

Will likely be in the garden, the garage, or the woods.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

The ability to have more time would be a pretty useful superpower.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

Some guy told me yesterday that I was really good at being a lead business person because I described the beer in a specific way, using the word opportunity a lot—I would probably say connecting with customers—try to make them enjoy their day, enjoy the little things, the experience.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The community of people who make it what it is. I feel like BBB is the difference—a company that has helped to set the standard. Infecting people in a way that is beyond the food and the industry—it’s like art, you know, there is a piece of art that is amazing, but you can’t really tell why. There is a big difference in working for a company that mimics another one vs. one that is genuine.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I’m a painter. I like to do outdoorsy things like fish and hike. I hang out with my dogs, I like to be active. I go on trips.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I would probably want to fly. When I dream, I fly, but it’s more like swimming in the air, even though I don’t really like heights.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I pour beer in our new taproom in Milo. I provide a new experience in this area that has been underserved to date, specifically when it comes to craft beer. I engage customers, I get to hear and tell some wonderful stories, and really think I have an opportunity to push a different way of enjoying beer and the way I believe it should be. Outside of work it’s a great way to connect with your neighbors and enjoy beer—and to do that in a way that is good for our community. But above all of it, I get to learn from a lot of amazing people, and that is the most exciting part. Both staff, company, and customers.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The why. The way in which the mission is carried out—in every step of the process, it’s doing the right thing instead of the easy thing—it shows in the taproom experience, in the taste of the beer—in every facet of the business.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I like to meet people, talk too much, listen as best I can and go to different places. Foodie for sure, always trying to learn more about beer. Maybe most excitingly, in the near future and hopefully the long; will get to do this through a podcast that Noah started and has become the new obsession of mine. Find interesting people, press record, talk to them, learn something, repeat- Other than these I have the bestest four legged boy around and do whatever my girlfriend tells me to, and also take pictures and post on Instagram with bad captions. It’s quite a life.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I’d be able to talk to my dog … maybe your dog too!

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

Mostly sweep up BB’s. Also pour beers for the lovely people of Milo.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The company as a whole. It’s just like one big bear hug—it feels good to be here.

Mostly I like to spend time with my Grampa and adventure with my pups!

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

To talk to animals like 1,000%.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

Snowboard, tend to 3 dogs, continual home improvement projects. Try to keep up and stay in touch with the beer world.

If you could have one super power what would it be?

Maybe just being an expert woodworker. Those folks have super powers.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I take lots of photos, design beer labels (among other things), help manage our social media/online presence, and coordinate out-of-taproom events.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The VIBES! Created by delicious beer and food, colorful art on the walls, music blasting, and our incredible team. The people I work with definitely take the number one spot.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

Spend time with my friends and family, spend as much time as possible near or in the ocean.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

Move the product to the people, in both keg and can form, draft maintenance, computer nerdery, and “he fixes the van.”

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The community. This state is full of so many incredible people, from the fans, to the brewers, to the back of house staffs, to the bartenders. I feel very fortunate to play a small role in it.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

A whole lot of skateboarding, mess around with computers, watch too much racing.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Heal from injuries really fast like Wolverine?

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I coordinate sales and distribution for all Bissell Brothers beer that goes out to bars and restaurants in Maine.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT ABOUT BBB?

Having the opportunity to involve Bissell and Sleek Machine throughout communities all over Maine is indescribably satisfying. The support that Maine has shown the beer as well as our story has been the experience of a lifetime.  Getting to work with your best friends everyday ain’t bad either.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

Outside of Sleek I make my best attempt to be a decent husband and father. Secondarily I play a whole lot of terribly mediocre guitar that I’m pretty sure never sounds repetitive. I cook, snowboard, spend time with friends, travel when I can and I eat cheeseburgers. Lots of cheeseburgers.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Maybe the ability to walk up to a brite tank and instantly carb the beer with just a look and a nod.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I am a Sales and Account Representative for our wholesale department, a member of the company’s Green Team and I also try to fill in wherever else I’m needed at the brewery or on the road.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The people. The beer is wonderful but it is the company culture and positivity that really makes this place special.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I try to get my family outside as often as possible. Amy keeps us organized for bigger family trips and I focus on the spontaneous weekend getaways. My favorite activities are surfing, trail running, camping, mountain biking and fishing.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Teleportation is a top contender for sure. Traveling with a family of four isn’t easy or cheap these days so if they could all just grab my hands and we could explore the world a bit more that would be awesome.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I fill glasses with cold beer, and you’ll catch me buzzing around the taproom doing whatever needs to be done.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The positivity. The love and enthusiasm that (literally) pours back into the community. And the people, it’s like one big family here!

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I enjoy listening to music often, and I watch a little too much internet television. I like cooking for my friends, collecting glassware, petting dogs and cats, riding my bike, drinking some brewskis.. Oh, and driving golf carts on Peak’s Island!

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

The ability to heal the wounds and ailments of others.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I have the pleasure of pouring beer and meeting all of the lovely people who visit the taproom!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

I’m pretty sure if you read every bio on this page you will find the same answer. It is one hundred percent the people. From day one you are welcomed with open arms and truly made to feel valued as a coworker and employee.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I love to cook. Cooking and sharing food with my boyfriend and our friends makes me the most happy. Anything that keeps my creative juices flowing, spending time outside, gardening, and loving on my sweet sweet 18 year old cat.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

As cool as it would be to fly or teleport or be able to read minds, I think over time, those powers would lose their allure. If I could have one superpower that I truly believe would never get old, it would be to never get hungover.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I pour beer in the taproom and have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and educate them on what BBB is all about. Besides that, I am most likely chatting it up with a customer or occasionally busting out a dance move.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

Man, this question should be more like what are your top 100 favorite things about BBB. To narrow it down to one, besides the beer, I would have to say waking up every single morning excited to go to work. Not many people can say that.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I really enjoy the outdoors and being outside. I love to hike and run, hit the beach, and snowshoe and snowboard in the winter. It is pretty awesome that we have all these activities right at our doorstep living in Portland. When I am not outside, I love to create whether it is the kitchen or the studio. Cooking and creating art are two meditative passions of mine. Besides all that, I love eating and drinking my way through the city, and of course binge watching some Netflix.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I was going to say flying, but than I felt like it would take the fun out of alot of things. It would make hiking pointless when you can just fly to the top. Plus you would probably just end up being lazy when you can just fly everywhere, unless flying counts as excercise. Anyway, I think I would want to be made of rubber or something flexible. That way you couldn’t get hurt if you fell, and could be a little more of a risk taker. I am also really inflexible, so being able to touch my toes with ease would be really cool.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I pour beers in the taproom and work in production during the week. I also give high fives and pet dogs.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The positive work culture. Everybody is so positive, it’s nice to be in a place where everyone is striving for the greater good, and the greater good of the beer.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

The ability to not fatigue.

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I balance the books and create lots of spreadsheets.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

I’ve had the unique experience of previously working at BBB while not technically working for BBB. For years I was an outsider on the inside. From the moment I started, it was clear to me that this place is special. There is an uplifting energy, spirit, and culture that pervade the company.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

Spend time with my family. Perfect my lawn. Read books. Espionage.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Time manipulation.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Time travel so I can go back in time to when Jackson Browne wrote Late For the Sky. Or flight.

I get to hang with my friends at my favorite brewery whilst handing out nuggets of wisdom and frosty tall glasses of gold.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

Everyone who works here has such a passion for what they make, build, and put out to the world. It makes it easy to want to put in the effort for a company who truly cares about you and the people around them. I am honored to work for people who sincerely want to make the world a better, safer, cleaner, and happier place.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I hang with my dog, friends, and family most of my free time. I love to ski, and am on a never ending path to eat and drink my way through Portland.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I know it’s seems obvious, but I would choose the ability to fly. Traveling takes so much money and time, but if I could skip that step, I’d be able to travel all over the world whenever I wanted. Imagine being able to take a spontaneous trip to Egypt or Thailand without spending an entire day on a crowded airplane!

WHAT DO YOU DO AT BISSELL BROTHERS?

I mostly procrastinate on filling out my team bio and other important emails, but once I’m finished with all of that, I cruise around the taproom chatting people up (solicited and otherwise), slingin’ beers, talking smack to fellow employees, constantly make Kram’s scheduling efforts significantly more complicated than they need to be, etc.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT BBB?

The team atmosphere is incredible. Everyone here is fun to talk to and work with and it makes every day a breeze. Also a big fan of selling and drinking beer. Also the kids burger. Biiiiiiiig fan of the kids burger.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE BREWERY?

I’m a singer/songwriter, guitar player, producer, and DJ and I play at bars, clubs, and artsy-type events. In the winters I’m a knuckle-dragger through and through, in other seasons I chuck meat with my fly-rod, shoot my bow, and partake in the consumption of a variety of spirits. I also love to bandage up Kevin’s fingers to prevent significant blood loss when he chops them off with a machete while camping… always a good time.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPER POWER WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I work in the kitchen.
