Bren Holloway

The third sip tells me what they really want next.

Bren runs the front of the brewery — the eight-tap bar, the flight boards, the events calendar, and the line that forms on Fridays at 5. She came over from a Hawthorne wine bar in 2019 and brought a regulars-first mentality with her. If you walk in twice, she remembers what you ordered the first time.
