Otter Creek Brewing Co, LLC of Middlebury, Vermont is excited to announce that Jim Lomax, formerly the head brewer at the Shed Brewery in Stowe, Vermont has joined the Otter Creek Brewing family. Jim will start on Monday, November 7.
On Monday, November 1, Otter Creek Brewing announced that it had reached an agreement with Ken and Kathleen Strong, the founders of the legendary Shed Restaurant in Stowe, VT- to acquire The Shed Brewery and The Shed brand family of ales. Jim Lomax becoming part of the Otter Creek Brewing team completes the continuity of the Shed brewing heritage.
Brian Walsh, President of Otter Creek Brewing Co. said, “We are thrilled that Jim Lomax will be joining our brewing team at Otter Creek Brewing and Wolaver’s Organics. We feel very strongly that the style and recipes for Shed Mountain Ale, IPA and other brands should continue- and having Jim as part of our brewing staff enforces the promise to Ken and Kathy Strong and to our customers”.
The Shed recently closed the landmark brew pub location on the Stowe Mountain Road. Mike Gerhart, Brewmaster at Otter Creek, has been working closely with Ken Strong and the brewing staff at The Shed to make sure the transition is managed efficiently and timely.
Otter Creek Brewing and Wolaver’s is a Vermont-based brewery that has a 20 year history of brewing award winning craft beer and ales in Middlebury.
