Ty Stevenson

Currently, I'm working as a freelance brewing consultant and I help breweries to optimize their brewing processes, ensure quality, and achieve their production goals. 

I specialize in recipe formulation, raw material selection, equipment setup, and process optimization. My expertise has been pivotal in identifying and resolving operational inefficiencies and quality issues, allowing breweries to produce exceptional beers that meet or exceed customer expectations. 

I've also helped breweries across the EU, specifically in Spain and Germany to develop new product lines, streamline operations, and enhance overall profitability. With a deep understanding of brewing science and technology, combined with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, I bring valuable insights and solutions to every project I undertake. 

Passionate about the brewing industry, I am committed to driving excellence and innovation in every aspect of brewing.
