MEET THE GRIMROSS CREW
We're pretty darn thankful for the team we've built here at Grimross. Below are some of the dedicated employees that keep the beer flowing.
Teamwork makes the dream work!
OWNERSHIP
STEPHEN
Fredericton, NB
Meet Stephen,
Many of you may know Stephen Dixon as a Co-Founder of your favourite brewery; but did you also know that he is so much more?!
Stephen is a dad, a husband, a son, a brother and a friend; an extreme athlete with a degree in kinesiology, an avid traveller, loves the outdoors, and you'd better look out when he puts his dancing pants on!
Stephen has such a passion craft beer, he started brewing in his basement! That single handed operation quickly grew into a family operation, and has since grown into the brewery we know and love - and as you can see here, the Grimross family has grown!
Meet Dawn,
Dawn is the co-founder of Grimross and is the woman that manages the finances of the brewery. She keeps very busy as she divides her time between this and her other role as Assistant Deputy Minister of Strategic Services at the NB Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. As a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, she is always on the lookout for improvement opportunities!
Dawn has many passions including running, hiking, and reading but her main passion is her family (including the Dixon canine baby Dixie). If you know Dawn, you know she goes above and beyond for all of us at Grimross. We love our Grimross mom.

Phil works super hard to keep everything in line behind the scenes.

JASON
Edmunston, NB
Meet Jason,
After travelling through North America brewing and drinking beer, Jason has returned home to us here in New Brunswick. Bringing with him an extensive knowledge of the brewing world that we are excited to unfold here in our brewery and share with you every step of the way!
When he's not brewing - or with his nose buried deep in a beer book, Jason likes to strap on his skis and hit the trails. He also finds joy in wood-working and mechanics - but Jason's favourite activity has got to be hide and seek!

HEAD BREWER
Meet Jeff,
Jeff has been a Grimross fan since we opened and, as luck would have it, he landed with us as our Sales & Marketing Manager. When Jeff is not out on the road making sales, studying for his MBA or at the Brewery, he can be found at home curled up on the couch with his wife, his son and his fur babies.
A former hockey player, Jeff still enjoys getting out on the ponds for a skate and in the summer months enjoys drinking Grimross and playing golf. If you see him out in the "Tic-Tac" be sure to give him a wave as he will likely give a smile and wave back!

NOAH
Renous, NB
Meet Noah,
Our Logistics superhero!
Noah, deservingly, grew very quickly with the company. Starting as a master of all things packaging, Noah always had his eye on the delivery truck. He put the petal to the metal and studied to get his air brakes. Noah now takes incredible pride in delivering beer around the province for everyone to enjoy!
Noah's drink of choice is a Grimross Pugnacious Porter, but, when he's gone through all of the Grimross in his fridge, Noah will happily settle for an Alpine.
