We’ve got a new production manager!!! With Joseph Wheeler stepping up to Head Brewer we asked Caitlin Blackerby to join the team and we’re super excited to have her.

Caitlin is a Raleigh-ite and NC State graduate who flew south one winter to visit her grandparents and it took her 8 years to migrate home. Thank goodness for GPS! For most of that time down south, she helped operate a small brewery and developed a passion for the brewing industry and culture. Now, she’s back in Raleigh and excited to be a part of the Lonerider team to help continue and support the growth of the brand. “It’s the smell of the brewhouse during a mash in, the sounds of a canning line and a forklift backing up. And at the end of a long brew day, after the sweat and tears dissipate, you get to enjoy the “fruits” of your labor with genuinely solid people who have your back.”
