Our Brewmaster Gary Lohin

Born and raised in Vancouver, Gary discovered his love of craft beer when his parents bought him his first home brewing kit as a birthday present. The first beer he brewed was a Coopers Real Ale and needless to say it turned out pretty good! Since then he has gone on to a professional brewing career. His experiences include spells at the Whistler Brewing Company and Okanagan Springs Brewery, as well as the founding North Vancouver’s first brewpub, Sailor Hagar’s in 1994.

In 2003 Gary became a partner in Central City Brewing Company / Red Racer Beer and has since overseen two major expansions in production capacity. Throughout the years Gary has remained extremely passionate in the art of brewing craft beer, and this passion shows up in every beer he brews. He enjoys promoting his passion through courses, seminars and brewers festivals.
