Georgina "Georgie" Solis
Head Brewer
Hola!
My craft beer roots started in Dallas after a few beat buddies (I used to be a cop!) introduced me to some awesome local brews. I quit that job and jumped right into the world of craft brewing. I've brewed in Dallas, Hungary, and Houston!
In my spare time I rewatch The Office or The Lord of the Rings trilogy, hang out with my furbabies or tackle DIY projects at the house with my wonderful husband, Michael.
Salud!
Rebecca Parkinson
Cellarman
Hi, I'm Becky!
I started my love of brewing at home many years ago. My husband and I brewed up quite a few concoctions, dabbled in yeast starters, and tossed in a few adjuncts, which led to a career running the cellar (cold side of the brew).
In my spare time I read conspiracy novels, love to garden, mountain bike (if you can call it “mountain” in Houston…), listen to live music, and sing badly and loudly when alone. I have a lovely and supportive family, with a zoo-full of animals at home. Did I mention I used to work at the Houston Zoo? Ask me about it next time you visit Walking Stick.
Evan Rattenbury
Taproom Manager
Hey! I’m Evan and I do anything and everything I’m asked to around here. I enjoy cooking, beer drinking, loud music, and being a dog dad. Come see me for a sandwich and a day beer!
Amy Brooke
Sales and Events Coordinator
Bryson Black
Director of Forestry Management
Bryson Black actually has his own business (brysonblackevents.com). In his spare time, he manages our floating alpine forests in the tap room and provides ad hoc direction on other design needs throughout the brewery and beer gardens. These creations change with the seasons and need constant care and attention. He is a creative genius when it comes to live arrangements of any kind.
