5 Minutes With ... Thom Doggett

Thom is a pretty recent BHZ hire. He only been on the production floor for about five month, but we’d be lost without him.

5 Minutes with Thom Doggett. Packaging beer is Thom’s domain. At BHZ, canning days are a long, pretty much solo affair. It takes a tough mindset to can beer by yourself all day. Thom tackles every day with gusto, always looking for ways to improve our process. Never letting a slight hiccup derail his plans. Thom has also started to learn how to operate in the cellar, and will be doing double duty between packaging and cellaring.
