About Our Brewmaster<\/h1>\n
\n

For our\u00a0<\/span>Brewmaster, Josiah Beha,\u00a0craft beer has always been about more than what\u2019s in the glass\u2014it\u2019s about the community built around it. A Southeast Ohio native, his journey began with the mission-driven culture of Jackie O\u2019s Brewery, an experience that sparked a lifelong passion for the industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What started with a modest homebrew kit quickly evolved into a dedicated professional career. Josiah honed his craft from the ground up, beginning in the cellar at\u00a0Sandy Springs Brewing Company\u00a0before moving to the acclaimed\u00a0Columbus Brewing Company. There, he mastered large-scale production, focusing on the rigorous quality control and technical consistency required to produce world-class beer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now in his fifth year at\u00a0Blue Heron Brewery, Josiah is proud to lead our brewing operations as Head Brewer. A multi-medal winner at the local, state, and national levels, his approach combines award-winning technical precision with a deep respect for tradition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Under his leadership, Blue Heron fans can expect the core brands they love to remain as consistent and refined as ever. Looking forward, he is excited to expand our portfolio with crisp, highly drinkable offerings and thoughtful experimental releases that push the boundaries of flavor while maintaining perfect balance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Beyond work,\u00a0 Josiah cherishes life with his wife and their two children, spending their weekends exploring local parks, museums, and cheering on family at sporting events. Whether they’re enjoying a slow Sunday brunch with grandparents or building block towers at home, his focus is always on making memories with his family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-1 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
