Sunriver Brewing is a shining example of the new generation of brewers who have come of age with studied mentorship and formal training. Head brewer Brett Thomas is a 2010 Falconer Foundation scholarship recipient and a 2011 graduate of the American Brewers Guild with a degree in Intensive Brewing Science and Engineering. He is a very technical brewer, priding himself on making high quality and well balanced award winning beers, like the perky Vicious Mosquito IPA and a solid Shred Head Winter Ale.
