About the Brewery Tourist

Hello everyone. My name is Matt Osmundsen and I’ll be your brewery tour guide today. I’m a 30 year-old beer lover originally from Chicago, now living in St. Louis with my beautiful and talented wife, Heidi, who has toured many breweries across America. I happen to think these tours are a great time and wanted to share my beer-fueled experiences and thoughts about them with you. Along the way, I also would like to provide you with some valuable tour info as well as some semi-expert tour-going tips. Without further adieu, let the tours begin!

Big thank you to the Prodigal Son Brewery and Pub in Pendelton, Oregon for letting me repurpose their spiffy brewing process diagram as my background image. Thanks again, Tim!
