6/9/2017 -- Meet the Brewer

Meet Quattro Goombas Brewery Head Brewer, Chris Jacques.

Quattro Goombas Brewery will be introducing their new Head Brewer, Chris Jacques at a Meet the Brewer event on Friday, June 9 from Noon - 8PM. The first five beers that Chris brewed for Quattro Goomba’s are now available in the brewery’s tasting room in draft form as well as available in crowlers and growlers to take home.

Precedent, a pale ale was the first beer brewed by Chris as well as being the first beer produced on Quattro Goomba’s larger 10BBL brewhouse. Chris is currently working with Bright Yeast Labs on a Saison series which will feature the same base saison divided among three separate fermenters in order for three different yeast strains to be pitched. The saison series will be available in the brewery’s tasting room mid-late June.

Chris joined the Goomba family in April 2017. Chris’s career in craft brewing spans over the past two decades and includes brewing at John Harvard’s Brewery & Ale House, Harpoon Brewery, Rock Bottom, Ornery Beer Company and Lost Rhino Brewing Company.

Quattro Goomba’s will be featuring guest taps from Lost Rhino and Ornery from June 21-23 to showcase three beers that Chris was involved with during his time at both breweries. Ornery’s, Light of Cologne won a Gold medal at the 2016 GABF in the German-Style Koelsch category under Chris’ tenure as Head Brewer. Ornery’s, Pacific Waves (IPA) and Lost Rhino’s, White Crests (Maibock) will be available in draft form only during this special event.

When asked why he chose Quattro Goombas, Chris says that he was looking for a home and based on his experiences and interactions with the QGB team he felt that there was a connection there. He says that he is looking forward to helping expand a fast growing craft beer brand with an expanded brewhouse and plans for expansion in the near future. Chris’ passion for making technically perfect beer and Quattro Goomba’s focus on quality products go hand in hand.
