We simply could have not moved forward with confidence had it not been for Glen’s involvement in every aspect of our equipment design process. He guided the brewery development process from start to finish, allowing us to leverage key vendor relationships and extensive knowledge of every aspect of the beer business.

Brewery Development was a very pivotal piece to our initial success for Good Word. Glen made the process easy for us as we had little expertise in the brewing industry back in 2016. As an engineer by trade, there was never an instance where Glen didn’t have an answer, suggestion or opportunity. He was great with laying out options and letting our budget choose our path while adding any expertise that was necessary to avoid pratfalls. In all honesty, I could not have imagined this project being so seamless without him. Not only did Glen help us with buildout, he still helps me to this day. As I grew as a brewer, I often reached out to Glen and he always made time, on the phone or in person to help guide me while making me always part of the process.

His insights and knowledge were instrumental for selection of equipment suppliers, subcontractors and vendors. Glen was always available, present from the beginning of the project to the first brew, and continues to be supportive even to this day. In summary, his contributions and commitment were immeasurable and were vital to the success of Line Creek Brewing Co.
