Bootlegger's Brewery Team

Aaron Barkenhagen - Proprietor/Head Brewer

Responsible for all operations of the brewery as well as new beer development, distribution, sales, marketing, and most importantly quality control (requires a lot of "sampling")

Patricia Barkenhagen - Vice President

Well, her title says it all! A true jack-of-all-trades, she is in charge of keeping everyone organized, coordinating events, staffing the tasting room, and most importantly keeping the piles of paperwork somewhat manageable.

Rod Burguiere - Brewer

An avid homebrewer for years and a Navy vet, Rod has brought to the team a ferver for brewing and enjoying great beer.

Chris Smith - Brewer

When Chris' college professors asked him how he was going to use his Physics degree from UCLA we doubt any of them expect him to make a career out of brewing, but we are glad he did.

Michael Wooldridge  - Brewer

A Marine Corp Vet and former long time volunteer brewer at Newport Beach Brewing Co, Mike has brought a keen eye for organization and strong work ethic to the team

Mike Barkenhagen

Co-conspirator

Part owner in Bootlegger's Brewery, Mike has been instrumental in building the brewery and keeping it running.
