the TEAM

Todd Scott & Lisa Danzl Scott

Founders/Owners

Todd and Lisa met when they were both working in Yellowstone National Park in 1986. Together they journeyed to the Tahoe where, in an attempt to live off the land, Todd began home brewing, eventually working as a brew master in the Napa Valley while attending School at UC Davis. Yearning for the good life back in Montana, Todd and Lisa moved to Bozeman where he worked as the head brewer for Spanish Peaks for 10 years. Todd and Lisa opened Bozeman Brewing in 2001, and the rest is beer-making history in the making.

Bill Hyland

Head Brewer

Bill grew up in Arlington, Massachusetts and made his way to the Bozeman in search of wide-open spaces and fewer faces, loving life in a ski town that also has a bit of culture. When he’s not coming up with the latest BBC concoctions, he can be found skiing, snowboarding, hiking, running, playing guitar, and working with his horses.

Bill’s favorite BBC brew? Hopzone. It’s a recipe he worked on since his early home brew days, and has evolved over time to be his ultimate IPA.

Tucker Kalberg

General Manager

Tucker grew up in Billings, Montana and was drawn to the Bozeman area for the outdoors, friends, and school, where he got a degree in Business Management. When he’s not skiing, golfing, traveling, fishing, camping, hanging with friends, or drinking good beer, he can be found crunching numbers and orchestrating the production schedule.

Tucker’s favorite BBC brew? Montana Common, which he calls “a unique, yet extremely drinkable brew that you can’t get from many other craft breweries.”

Ryan Beal

Brewer/Cellarman

Ryan grew up in Richmond, Virginia and was drawn to the Bozeman because he couldn’t find any place better than southwest Montana throughout the U.S. and Canada.  He made the mistake of beginning his professional career as an IT security consultant for a large company, but quickly found out that biking, hiking, hunting, playing guitar/mandolin and homebrewing in Montana is way more fun.

Ryan’s favorite BBC brew?  Gallatin Pale Ale, which he says, “Is an easy drinking, balanced beer with lots of great hop character.”

Bruce Bruck

Cellarman

Bruce grew up in Helena, Montana and was drawn to the Bozeman for its beauty and to further his education at Montana State.  His first foray in the craft brewing industry was with Flathead Lake Brewing in Woods Bay, as well he had a stint slinging suds in Helena for a local distributor.  When he’s not filtering the latest BBC brew, you’ll find him hanging with his 14 year old son or hiking around Hyalite Canyon.

Bruce’s favorite BBC brew? Java Stout, which he says, “Has a great malt character, backed with a little coffee bitterness which adds so much to the stout.”

Jonathan Szajnuk

Tasting Room Manager

Jon grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and was drawn to the Bozeman because of the mountains, lifestyle and amazing beer. When he is not keeping up the tasting room, he is studying all aspects of the beer making. He also enjoys gardening, camping and hiking with his wife and dog.

Jon’s favorite BBC brew? The N. Broadway Black IPA because, “It combines all of the malt richness of a dark beer with the crisp hop bite of an IPA.”

Cale Hofferber

Brewer/Cellarman

Cale grew up in Bozeman, MT and was drawn back to the Bozeman because……

Dan Singer

Quality Manager/Cellarman

Dan grew up in Cody, WY and was drawn to the Bozeman because of the mountains, culture and friends already residing in the Gallatin Valley.  When he’s not testing beer in his lab or leading a sensory panel, you’ll find Dan playing his bass, skiing, hiking, camping and gardening.

Dan’s favorite BBC brew? Depends on the season, but today its the Gallatin Pale Ale, which he says, “Is well balanced and hoppy with a crisp finish.”
