Peter B's Brewpub Welcomes Justin Rivard as New Head Brewer
Posted on May 25th, 2016 by omba
Award winning Peter B’s Brewpub, located behind Portola Hotel & Spa, is pleased to announce Justin Rivard as the new Head Brewer. Rivard has been brewing beer professionally for many years, spanning from Grizzly Peak Brewing Company in Michigan to Head Brewer of Arbor Brewery Company Microbrewery.
Rivard began his career as an Assistant Brewer for three years at Jolly Pumpkin Artesian Ales and Grizzly Peak Brewing Company. Shortly after, he earned a position at Arbor Brewing Company and accelerated his position to Head Brewer after just 7 months. There he developed the skills necessary to lead a team and was able to increase overall production.
Rivard hopes to expand beyond the brews that have become so popular at Peter B’s and to push the envelope while maintaining the existing flagship styles. “I do enjoy brewing historic styles like mild’s and porters and I am excited to brew funky, off the wall Saisons while bringing unique pale ales and IPA’s from around the world into the lineup, as well as traditional German style beers.” said Rivard.
Peter B’s Brewpub’s new Head Brewer will official join the team in Monterey on June 1, 2016 and the team could not be more enthusiastic about his arrival.

Sunshine Freestyle wants to thank the small crew that helped set up this year's Surfabout scaffolding and tear it down: Drew Jensen, Robbie and Michael Newman, Zach Downing, Dave Eaton, Jim Wayman, Tom Richards, and the McKegney clan. We want to give a special shout-out, as we do every year, to James Frangella for his pre-dawn attack on the Monday tear down. We also want to thank Eric and Ryan Sanico and family for the Island feel with the palm trees.
We only wish we could have seen a few more able bodies down there to help - it's a lot of work. Please consider helping out next year!
