Evan Stanish
HEAD BREWER
Creative outlet, full-blown obsession
Evan joined Brazen as Head Brewer in February 2025. Armed with degrees in Environmental Science and Geography, several years of commercial brewing experience, and a background in construction, he brings a mix of science, problem-solving, and hands-on grit to the brewhouse.
For Evan, brewing is not just a job. It is a passion, a creative outlet, and occasionally a full-blown obsession. He loves experimenting with a wide range of beer styles and is well known for declaring “This is my favourite style!” about every beer he brews. His coworkers are still trying to figure out if he actually means it every time.
What Evan loves most about brewing is that it sits right at the intersection of science, art, and hard work. It also helps that no two days in the brewery are ever the same.
