About Us

Corban Lester is an XNFP ideas-guy who enjoys lifting heavy liquid weights, finding hidden delivery buzzers and inventing clever marketing campaigns. Despite being the most junior brewer of the team, Corban comes fully loaded with over 20 years' experience developing and advocating new products, taking them to market and building sales and fulfillment networks--primarily, but not exclusively in the energy efficiency / sustainability industry. Corban believes that craft brewing has become very similar to independent music during its heyday--but with far greater prospects for improving lives and communities. He started his career doing radio promotions at his family's indie record label, and has remained involved in the music industry most of his life. As a problem solver, Corban enjoys unlocking the potential behind their dreams. His philosophy involves integrity, sacrifice, and responsiveness.

Cedric Justice is an extroverted relationships-guy and craft beer cheerleader. Trained in the black arts of data analytics, business management and, notably, supply chain management, he is innately tuned to human motivations and why people buy and identify with brands. A longtime fixture in the Portland nightlife with his spot-on Robert Smith impersonations and legendary parties, he has built strong relationships with bars, restaurants and artists throughout the Northwest. Cedric has a master’s degree in International Management and, being the visionary he is, was the first in the School of Business at Portland State to have the elected specialization of Global Business and Sustainability.
