Eric Dolinger

Cellar Person

Eric is a NoVa native who spent his formative years playing soccer and music in the area. After graduating high school, he carved out a niche for himself as a sought-after bassist with several local bands. It was a pursuit that brought him all over the Eastern US and into regular contact with live music's best friend: beer. Not satisfied with the offerings typical to bars in those days, Eric developed a penchant for seeking out fresh and exciting brews. A passion which dove-tailed quite nicely with the rise of the craft beer industry in the DMV. As his zeal for quality grew, he began home-brewing with a few of his friends and resolved to find a way to become a brewery professional. He spent the summer of 2016 traveling through Central America studying permaculture and wild fermentation.

Ryan Shintani

Brewer

Ryan first fell in love with beer while on travel in Belgium. After completing his MS in Applied Science at the College of William and Mary, he decided to pursue brewing as a career and counts that choice among his best in life. He has brewed professionally on both coasts and also spent time dabbling in the winemaking industry. When he's not making beer he listens to heavy metal, occasionally travels the world (29 countries so far), and desperately tries not to spend all his money on Magic cards and board games.
