Peter Zien is an accomplished and highly decorated home brewer, who "always wanted to own a brewery." Since he began brewing in 1995, his beers have earned over 400 medals and honors. In addition, he is San Diego County's only BJCP (Beer Judge Certification Program) "Master" level beer judge, their highest rating. In 2002 he purchased the brewery from Skip Virgilio, the founder and original brew master, who was the first San Diegan to bring home gold from the prestigious Great American Beer Festival. Given the extremely high level of talent in the brew house (and that definitely includes Tod Fitzsimmons, Head Brewer), it's little wonder that AleSmith has become renowned for its best-of-class brews in many different and intriguing styles. |
