Michael Gaetz

Head Brewer

Our Head Brewer, Michael Gaetz, discovered his love for beer in the late 2000’s, taking after his grandfather Bev Robertson. Michael first began his Bushwakker career in the kitchen.

When the Assistant Brewer position opened up in early 2009, Michael jumped at the opportunity to start learning and brewing with then Bushwakker Head Brewer, Mitch Dalrymple.

Michael immediately enrolled in a six-month brewing course at the Siebel Institute in Chicago, furthering his passion and knowledge of craft brewing. Michael looks forward to continuing the award-winning legacy of past Bushwakker Head Brewers and to working alongside his family.

Michael adds “There is nothing more gratifying then pairing fine beer with fine food, the essence of the Bushwakker.”
