Meet the brewer
After years of working in the medical field, Troy Bervig, knew he needed a change. He quit his job at a research laboratory under Abbott Laboratories, took out savings from his retirement and began to search for what he was passionate about.
BLAME IT ON A MIDLIFE CRISIS
Bervig took a leap of faith and landed a job as an assistant brewer for Moonshine Brewing Company in Chicago where he quickly found his passion for brewing. Shortly after he enrolled in The Siebel Institute of Brewing Technology. Upon graduating he brewed at Duck-Rabbit and Mother Earth Brewing, and helped design Iowa Brewing Company. He worked at several breweries and eventually became the Head Brewer at The Galena Brewing Company and Aero Plains Brewing.
Brewing with precision and passion
Now with eleven years of experience under his belt since his lab coat days, Bervig, is taking on the role as Head Brewer for Sumter Original Brewery. Combining his precision from his medical years, and passion from his brewing he plans to brew beers using the centuries-old Germanic tradition of step mashing- coaxing out subtle nuances by enzymatic activity.ย
