Craig Briess

Craig Briess is the CEO at Briess Malt & Ingredients. Craig follows in the footsteps of Monica Briess, who assumed leadership of the company following the unexpected death of her husband and craft beer pioneer Roger Briess in 2001. Craig has been active with Briess for more than 20 years in a variety of roles, including membership on the Board of Directors since 2001. He has been involved in building the strategic supply relationships with our community of 300 barley growers in Wyoming since 2013, doubling capacity at the Insta Grains plant in 2017, and most recently, the major expansion of our Manitowoc malting, roasting, and packaging operations.

As CEO, Craig will provide strategic leadership and direction for the company’s future. Craig has demonstrated his commitment to uphold the values that have been established during the past 145 years, including the Company Vision: To be the quality ingredient and service provider that positively differentiates their Customers’ products.
