Aaron has been brewing beer since 2015 and was one of Field Day Brewing Company's first employees. As Field Day’s Head Brewer, he’s especially drawn to lagers, English real ales, West Coast IPAs, and the occasional smoked beer.

If he could only drink one beer for the rest of his life, it’d be a Schönramer Helles.
