Brian Thiel

Meet Brian Thiel, the managing owner and co-founder of Ghostfish Brewing Company, a brewery dedicated to using 100% gluten-free ingredients, based in Seattle, WA. Ghostfish, now in its fifth year, is the largest volume producer of gluten-free beer in the U.S. and has become one of the most acclaimed gluten-free breweries in the world. Ghostfish beer proves time and again to be at the forefront of gluten-free brewing with five Great American Beer Festival (GABF®) medals and numerous additional awards both in and out of the gluten-free category. Prior to starting Ghostfish, Brian spent nearly 25 years in the aluminum can industry between two of the world’s largest manufacturers. Brian is a graduate of Klemmer & Associates, a leadership development program, and the Small Business Administration’s Emerging Leaders program. During his free time, Brian enjoys cooking, traveling, and doing a range of outdoor activities. But what he cherishes most is spending time with his daughter, Berlyn.
