Client Testimonials

Jared Hatch- Brewmaster at Daedo Brewing. Winner of Best Brewpub at the 2021 Asia Beer Championships (South Korea)

“Jason has definitely been an invaluable resource to me whenever I had questions about ingredients or different processes in the brew house. I would definitely recommend him as a consultant.”

Here's what others are saying . . .

"Jason helped me hone my skills as a brewer. He has a robust knowledge of brewing and beer styles and how to execute them. Jason is also a valuable source for new ideas and is a walking tome of technical beer skills. He can walk into any brewery and instantly see room for increasing efficiency and quality. Jason came into a complete dumpster fire at the last brewery I worked at and against all odds and much adversity he fine tuned both equipment and brewers and garnered more national and international accolades in less than a year than the company had gained in the previous decade.”

“Jason is not only filled with passion for the craft, he also sparks the passion for those around him. Since I brewed my first beer with him over a decade ago, he not only instructed me on how to brew a variety of styles, but also taught me to gain a consistency in repeating the styles to perfection, which has surely carried over into my work in high production. He is well versed in not only classic styles, but also in experimental flavors you never knew you needed in craft beer. He does this intricately and practically utilizing the finest ingredients and in the right manner to really make flavors explode in your glass. His multitude of awards speak volumes, of course, but if you ever wanted to pin point the finest aspects of a Pilsner or how to brew Imperial Stouts more efficiently, Jason is the person I turn to. And no matter how confident I am in my work, just about every conversation I have with him he asks me a question I can't answer which throws me into deeper aspects of my own brewing expertise to learn why or how I do certain things certain ways. Jason is a teacher, an instructor, a shaman, and I've been blessed to have him as a resource all these years."

“The term beer Yoda is what comes to mind when describing Jason. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to brewing and life, and he marries the two seamlessly, putting abstract ideas into tangible thoughts and principles. Unlike other master brewers I've worked with in the past, Jason takes a uniquely collaborative stance when it comes to the brewing, he is quick to explore any ideas that team members have and will always go out of his way to discuss and explain the decisions that go into every aspect of creating a truly memorable beer. Jason is a great leader and makes it his point to ensure the team shares his passion and enthusiasm for creating not only great beer but great culture. I am glad to have worked with him, I learned so much under his tutelage and continue to do so to this day. The thing about Jason is he's always there to answer a question, collaborate, share thoughts or just ponder life with you. Great brewer, better friend.”

“I have known Jason for over 12 years. And over the last 12 years we have picked each others brains on different parts of the brewing process many times. Jason not only has the formal brewing education and knowledge of beer, wort, and the entire brew process, but he also has the hands on experience from working with startups to regional breweries teaching them how to make great beer. If your beer or your processes need to be brought up to the next level, Jason is the person with the knack for the right details to get your brewery making better beer more efficiently and consistently.”

“I knew of Jason before we met. He was the brewmaster of Artmonster, one of the great breweries in Korea. And then we met at Susubori, Korea's only brewing school. He was an enthusiastic teacher and shared his experience of brewing. I felt my brewing horizons were broadened after his class. When Jason moved to Alaska as the Brewmaster for 49th State Brewing I followed him from Korea to Alaska to learn more from him. I saw he made many changes to make nice and balanced beer. And we won 20 medals in 2021 as a result. If you want to upgrade your beer and production, work with Jason.”

Head Brewer, Mascot Brewing,

“The main thing I want to say about Jason is that he listens; not just to the owner and the head brewer, but to the packaging operator, to the jaded brewer that had their theories discounted more often than not. His goal is success, not just through sales and awards, but through making sure the core of the brewery, the production team is cared and advocated for. He will also go to bat for the brewing team. Jason's focus is on what truly keeps a brewery going, their culture.”

“Hi, we are kind of the legacy what Jason left here. We were selected as the best local brewery of Korea of 2021 by the most renowned Korean beer youtuber. I know Jason’s attitude towards brewing is legit as well as his brewing skills. Not only I but his countless international competition awards prove so. I am so looking forward to what he will achieve with his capability as a brewer, a teacher, and a consultant. Wish him the best luck in his next move for the sake of world beer industry and beer lovers all over the world.”

Phillip Rankmore- Brewmaster at Hong Kong Beer Company (Hong Kong) & won "Champion Midsize Brewery of Asia" 2024 at the Asia Beer Championship.

“I was an industry colleague of Jason's when we both worked in South Korea. I don't think you could find a more dedicated, hard working, and passionate person about production brewing and fermentation in general than Jason. In an industry that relies so heavily on the sharing of knowledge and information, Jason was always the first person I would go to when I needed to talk through a problem, just talk about beer, come up with a new process, or tackle some issue I was having. If you're looking to start something new or expand your process, or just to troubleshoot that problem you're having, Jason's the first person I would call. You'd be lucky to have him on your side.”
