Every Beer Has A Story... View Table of Contents
We know that every beer has a story and that every brewer can make their own mark within the industry. That’s why we are proud to feature Wise Man Brewing, located in the historic Angelo Brothers building in downtown Winston-Salem, NC, on the front cover of this year’s catalog. For Wise Man Brewing it all began about 13 years ago in a kitchen. Sam Victory, a PhD chemist by day, bought himself a homebrew kit and started experimenting. The only rules were to have fun, make something tasty and clean up afterwards. As he got deeper into the hobby, Sam started bringing his brew to social events to share with friends, and soon developed a reputation as an accomplished brewer. After entering competitions and collecting some hardware, friends began to ask Sam when he would open his own brewery. Imagination began to take flight, he shared his idea with friends Jason Morehead and Mike Beverly, and together with their families, they decided to take the leap…this is when Wise Man Brewing was Born!
After 18 months of construction on the 90 year old Angelo Brothers building, on January 28, 2017, Wise Man opened their doors. Soon after, Ryan Jackle was hired as the Head Brewer, who studied brewing, distilling and fermentation at Rockingham Community College. As the brewery has grown, the spirit of discovery and innovation from the homebrewing days will continue to resonate as a Wise Man once said, “Make the beer you wish to see in the world.” Like Gusmer, Wise Man realizes that producing great beer is both an art and a science. At Gusmer, we have the technical staff and product lines that honor the rich history of the brewing process, while always looking to innovate. The cornerstone of Gusmer Enterprises’ culture is to work diligently in providing an intimate and personal customer experience to each and every individual who buys from us. We are happy to offer new ground-breaking products including Chr.
