Charlie Cole is the brewmaster and General Manager at Blue Cat Brewing Company in Rock Island. Cole and his team are continuing a QC tradition when Blue Cat was revived in the fall of 2021.
Laugh along as Cole remembers his apprenticeship, learning under the instruction of a German brewer. With equipment all labeled in German.
Cole has made a successful career out of brewing by embracing that experience, taking on several different brewing and head brewer positions and continuing his education in the craft. He's even working on bringing a craft beer education program to the Quad Cities.
"It's only gonna continue to grow," said Cole. "If there's more jobs and there's more people that are educated in our industry then it just allows more of the established breweries to grow and expand and for new breweries to open up."
