Want to know how Great Raft Beer gets from our cellar into your hands? It's our amazing sales team! Our Brand Manager, Bob aka Bobby Beers, works with our distributors and regional brand managers to ensure that our delicious beer gets onto retail shelves and on draft in restaurants and tap rooms. Bob and his wife are brand new parents to a beautiful baby girl, who they love showing off to everyone. If you've ever had a Great Raft beer in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or anywhere in South LA, you can thank our Gulf Region Brand Manager, Roger! He's also an enthusiastic collector of vinyl records, an avid home cook, and the nicest guy in the biz. Our fans in Arkansas have Joe to thank for ensuring you have access to the newest and tastiest releases. During his off-time, you'll find him cruising those beautiful mountain highways on his motorcycle. The newest member of our sales team, DFW Brand Manager Tripp supports the entire metroplex. He is proudly from Louisiana, but Texas is his home and he loves sharing our awesome beer with our TX fans. After work, Tripp enjoys LSU sports, hiking, and growing his own hot peppers.

🚨New beer🚨 Wheel Me Outta Here is a dark, dense and indulgent s'mores-inspired Russian Imperial Stout. After brewing our booziest beer to date, we added marshmallows, chocolate and graham cracker. This beer is smooth and complex, and most definitely a sipper. Available in 10oz pours or 32oz crowlers to-go. 14% ABV.

Good news at Great Raft - we have water and are open for business! We're not sure about you, but after last week we really need to get out of the house. We'll be pouring our newest release, Tired Earth V1 - an oak aged golden sour with apple, lemon balm, and orange peel - along with our other recently released beers like Life Itself Key Lime Pie gose and Chillsicle Hurricane. Stop by between 4-8pm to enjoy a delicious draft beer, or pick up some supplies to restock your cooler. You know you're running low.

Let's continue introducing you to more of the GRB

Let's continue introducing you to more of the GRB crew, shall we? Today we want to present the operations team who create and obsess over the delicious Great Raft beer in your glass

🍺 Brunson is our Operations Manager, and he keeps things running as fast and efficient as possible. Sourcing ingredients, planning the brew schedule, coordinating packaging, and working with distributors sounds like a lot -- and it is! When he's not wrangling the cellar crew at Great Raft, he enjoys spending time with his family, hunting and cooking up delicious food for the team.

🍺 Quality Lead Zak spends his time at Great Raft making sure each beer lives up to its fullest potential. Zak maintains our yeast cultures, ensures our beer is fit for packaging, and ensures the quality of every single batch that passes through the brewery. Zak's got a passion for working on cars, disc golf and hitting up mountain bike trails - all activities that go great with a lager in-hand.

🍺 Brewer Kevin is also a fixture around the brewhouse and is also our resident cask ale expert. If you have ever attended a "Crush the Pin" event, he's the mastermind behind the beers you enjoyed. Kevin enjoys taking trips to the wildlife refuge to explore the local flora and fauna.

🍺 Brewer Bailey spends a lot of time on the brew deck making high quality wort (unfermented beer), but can be found helping out all over the brewery. He also loves to experiment with new hops and techniques and has been known to brew some fine small batch creations. Outside of work, Bailey enjoys kicking it with his family, fiance and his rescue dog Winne.

Shoutout to this crew who brings all our crazy ideas to life!
