Brewer: Josh French
How long have you worked at the brewery? 6 years
How did you get involved in brewing? I got involved in craft brewing, because I love the local craft beer scene. I started out working for Wild Wolf Brewing Company in Nellysford, VA.
What is something people don’t know about your brewery? At the Outpost production brewery, we pipe beer about 2,000 feet from the brite tanks where the beer is stored to the packaging hall. The pipeline carries about 12 barrels of beer from the brite tank to the bottling line. It consists of four pipes so that if something breaks down we are able to run the beer in a loop to keep it cool.
What’s your favorite food and beer combo? Pepperoni pizza and Devils Backbone Vienna Lager.
Do you have pets? I have one awesome cat named Lilly, aka Lil Bill. She is super chill and loves attention.
What is your favorite thing to do in the Shenandoah Valley? I live in Waynesboro and love spending time outside on the AT or training for triathlons on the scenic back roads in Lexington/Rockbridge County, Staunton, Waynesboro, Augusta County, and Harrisonburg.
What’s the best way to spend time in the outdoors in the Shenandoah Valley? Other than the things mentioned above, I love fly fishing on the south river in Waynesboro!
