Justin Riopelle

Justin brewed his first batch of beer in his East Lansing apartment while attending Michigan State University about eight years ago, where he received a B.S. in psychology. After graduation, he pursued work within the field of psychology in California. He moved back to the Detroit area in preparation for further study, but changed his plans after he found a job opportunity as an assistant brewer at Detroit Beer Co. and Royal Oak Brewery. After several years of working under two very talented brewers, he was promoted to his current position as Brewmaster at Detroit Beer Co, allowing him to do what he loves in his favorite city.
