About Us: Employees

Mike Bristol: Owner Lead singer and driver of the Winnebago. Favorite Beer: Red Rocket   Josh Osterhoudt: General Manger Josh has been in the beverage industry longer than some of us have been alive, but don't call him old until you've tried to keep up with him on a mountain bike! Favorite Beer: Edge City IPA on Nitro josho@bristolbrewing.com   Joe  Hull: Head Brewer Joe livens up the brewery with his sense of humor. You can always count on him to make you laugh. One thing he is serious about is BEER! Favorite Beer: Edge City Old World IPA joeh@bristolbrewing.com   Lynne Blesener: Accounting/Administration/Superchick Lynne needs so many titles because she does so much that we just can't sum it up in one word. "Superchick" comes the closest. If you want to get her talking, ask about her bulldogs. Favorite Beer: Kolsh lynneb@bristolbrewing.com   John Schneider: Brewer John learned brewing at Bristol and then did a stint running a brewpub brewery in Arizona. We knew he'd be back - he couldn't resist the Bristol draw... Favorite Beer: still deciding   Michelle Majchrzak: Tasting Room Manager Michelle keeps the tasting room in check and the beer flowing. Don't bother trying to pronounce her last name...none of us can. Favorite Beer: Red Rocket michellem@bristolbrewing.com   Ken Andrews: Microbiologist Ken is our mad scientist who does all of our quality control and yeast propagation. He came to us after 25 years of teaching at Colorado College. If you're down at the brewery, look for him in his custom-made tie-dye labcoat. Favorite Beer: Edge City Octoberfest   Tad Davis: Maintenance/Problem Solving Tad decided he didn't want to be a lawyer anymore, and came to work for us. He's tons of fun...just don't call him Frank. Favorite Beer: Red Rocket   Laura Long: Events, Promotions, E-mail, Marketing Laura, aka "The Beerocrat," handles our Brewery emails and many of our promotions. Look for her around town preaching the Bristol gospel. Favorite Beer: Laughing Lab laural@bristolbrewing.com   Darren  Baze: Third Assistant Brewer Darren is always busy in the brewery. You can often find him kegging. No matter what he is doing, he is always smiling! Favorite Beer: Beehive   Nikos Pulos: Colorado Springs Sales The Greek geek who started behind the bar. If you see him, be sure to ask him about the Madonna mole that hides behind his moustache. Nikos now sells outside the brewery - he manages sales in Manitou and much of Colorado Springs. Favorite Beer: Cherry Warlock nikosp@bristolbrewing.com   Bob Archibald: Tasting Room Staff Bartender, Home Brewer, Beer Lover, Grumpy Old Man.
