USA, NY: Labatt USA to begin national search for a Brewmaster for its first US brewery

Labatt USA announced it will begin a national search for a Brewmaster to lead its first brewery in the U.S. The new brewery, which will open in Buffalo, New York, later this year, will focus on innovation for Labatt. The brewery will be located at 79 Perry, a mixed-use building that is currently under redevelopment by Pegula Sports and Entertainment, Brewbound reported on January 23.

“Establishing a Buffalo-based brewery will create a new era for the brand, and the new Brewmaster will be at the forefront,” said Glen Tibbits, general manager, Labatt USA. “We’re looking for a passionate brewer who is experienced in innovation and excited about creating more ways for people to experience Labatt beer.”

The Labatt Brewmaster will experiment and develop new beer styles in the pilot brewery. Customers will have the opportunity to taste and give feedback on the beers, influencing what styles Labatt rolls out more broadly throughout its U.S. footprint.

The Labatt USA Pilot Brewery is set to open in fall 2018.
