Brett was born and raised here in Edmonton, though moved around in his adult years, spending time living (and brewing) in London, England, and Toronto, but Edmonton seems to always find a way to pull him back. He has a Diploma in Radio Broadcasting from NAIT, but as for beer education, he learned from reading (a lot) and from working hard alongside some of the best and smartest people in the industry at a variety of unique breweries.

The main driver of Brett’s passion for beer is how many unique directions you can go with brewing beer when starting (mainly) with four simple ingredients. (Water, Malt, Hops, Yeast) With just those four ingredients you can make an innumerable amount of different products. Then when throwing in adjunct flavours (fruit/spices, etc.) the number of possibilities are never ending. It pushes the limits of his creativity and always keeps him on his toes. No day is ever the same in a craft brewery, and it never gets boring.

In his spare time, Brett is an avid traveller and has been to 25 countries, and hopes to continue to grow that list. He often uses the flavours of different countries or cuisines as inspiration in the beers he likes to brew and thinks you will see that more and more as we continue to grow the beer program here at Campio.
