Jerry Siote- Co-Owner / Director of Brewing Operations. I've been a professional brewer since 2014 here with Lone Tree Brewing Company. Personally, I love experimenting with traditional hops in hop-forward styles, while incorporating new hopping techniques and new varieties into West-Coast-style IPAs, Pale Ales and Lagers. We run two breweries in Colorado, our original location in Lone Tree, CO and a recently acquired brewery in 2024 located in the town of Parker, CO. Our goal is to make the best craft beer possible by emulating traditional styles from all over the world while trying to create new flavor profiles for the communities we brew in. Going into our 14th year of producing beer, we love what we do and strive to make the best beer with the best ingredients. Cheers.
James Zarzour- The Yakima Chief Hops South Regional Sales Manager with a focus on connecting family hop farms with the world's finest brewers!
