Craft Beer Professionals

CBP Stories showcase individual members who have an inspiring story to tell. It’s one thing to brew great beer. It’s entirely another to turn that ability into a successful and thriving business. It takes foresight, talent, and business acumen – traits abundant in the visionary leader of Foothills Brewing. From an initial annual output of just 800 barrels in 2005, Jamie has grown Foothills into a multimillion dollar regional brewery approaching 40,000 barrels a year in production. Along the way the University of Georgia graduate has garnered numerous accolades and medals for his beers, as well as universal respect for his positive advocacy and support of the craft brewing community. And as if making sensational beer isn’t enough, he and his wife Sarah roast their own incredibly tasty coffee. www.CraftBeerProfessionals.org
