As CEO and one of the founding partners of one of the biggest brands in craft beer, Gordon Biersch, Dan is a legend in the world of enzymatic chemistry and fermentation. He’s currently an Assistant Adjunct Professor at UC Berkeley and has been a guest speaker at Stanford, UC Davis and other academic institutions.
In 1987, Dan was the first American in more than 40 years to graduate from the prestigious five-year brewing engineering program at the world-renowned Technical University of Munich in Weihenstephan, West Germany. As if that’s not enough, he also started the gastro-pub movement. We couldn’t be more excited that he’s lending his esteemed knowledge and expertise to the work we are doing here at Sempera.
