Mike Burkinshaw
Head Brewer
I have worked in the craft beer industry for 7 years doing every job there is. My favorite beer at Outer Light is the next one, I love coming up with ideas and the best way to get the creativity flowing is to have a beer and think. I’m a big fan of all of our mainstays but I love trying something new!
Rob Williams
Assistant Brewer
I’ve always had a passion for great beer, and after 21 years in the Navy, I finally got the chance to turn that passion into a career. I’ve been coming to Outer Light since 2016, and in May 2024, I officially joined the team as an assistant brewer. Now I get to be part of the process, crafting the same beers I’ve enjoyed for years.
Kurt Delaney
Taproom Manager
From the moment I stepped into the taproom on opening day and took my first sip of OLBC beer, I was hooked. For the past three years as Taproom Manager, I’ve loved sharing that passion and creating memorable experiences for our guests. My favorite beer is Subduction, but I enjoy exploring all our brews. Whether you’re a craft beer veteran or just starting out, I’m here to help you find something you’ll love. See you at the taproom!
