Brett Thomas, Brewmaster

Our Head Brewer Brett Thomas grew up in the Sandhills region of North Carolina and found a love for the people and tight knit community. His family moved to Greensboro in 2010 and he was first introduced to the world of brewing in 2016 when he started homebrewing. He found success in this throughout the years and even had one of the recipes that he designed recreated at a local brewery in Greensboro as a “homebrew spotlight”. Brett would later gain invaluable experience working at Beech Mountain Brewing Co. in 2021 as the assistant brewer while still in school. In 2022 he would return to the Sandhills with a formal education in brewing sciences from Appalachian State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Fermentation Sciences and a minor in Chemistry to come to Mash House as the head brewer. Brett continues to bring a fresh perspective and innovation to the rich, community focused heritage that Mash House has grown over more than 20 years in business.
