Angie Nichols – Owner/Chief Kombucha Operator Angie calls herself a “Corporate Hippie”. Her love for being active landed her a job as a partner at a corporate fitness and wellness company. We call that her “day job” and her husband calls her his “sugar mama”. Angie brews our Kombucha which you will find on tap in our brew house. As a certified Yoga instructor, you will also find her teaching Brewga (A flow yoga class held in the brewery followed by one of our delicious pints a beer).
*Brewga is held on Saturday at 11am – Cost is $15 (includes a 50 minute flow yoga class and a pint of beer)
Brian Nichols – Owner/Chief Beer Operator
Brian, who was born and raised in Colorado, has worn many hats throughout his semi-professional life; cable guy, grunt, cook, Dad, Coach, Poppy (yes he still refuses to call himself a Grandpa). You name it, he’s probably done it. He fell in love with craft beer sometime in the 90’s when he landed his job at a large bio-tech company in Boulder, CO (micro-brew mecca, then & now) where he started brewing beer with a co-worker and sampling the craft scene in Boulder.
After almost 17 years, he left the corporate world to fulfill a bucket-list dream and build a house (with his very own hands) in the Fraser Valley for his beautiful wife and four-legged kids. After the build was finished, a friend he acquired up here came to him with an idea to start a brewery in Fraser…
Payton Schiff – Manager
Originally born in Colorado, Payton grew up in the land of 3.2% beer (Salt Lake City, UT) before returning to her homeland in 2019 with a car full of skis and her pup Ruby. You’ll find her trail running on the Continental Divide and skiing chutes on Berthoud Pass but when she’s not playing in the mountains, Payton helps manage the brewery to keep things organized and running smoothly.
Katie Jo Goodwin – Beertender
Katie Jo recently relocated from Georgia. She came to Colorado to spend more time outside enjoying nature! She enjoys drinking beer so pouring good craft beer at FRBCO is just a bonus! She can’t wait to see ya’ll at the brewery!
Bradley Huntington – Beertender
Bradley’s a Colorado native! He grew up spending time exploring the woods of Grand County and after college, was excited to move up to Fraser. Find him around a fire, in the river, or on a trail when he’s not slinging beers behind the bar.
Josh Peters – Graphic Designer & Occasional Beertender
Eddy Ferreiro – Taco Slayer & Occasional Beertender
Her full name is Edlyn but people around these parts know her as Eddy. She shreds all year round; on her snowboard in the winter and on her Harley in the summer. Eddy was previously brewhouse assistant but now owns and operates Shreddy’s Tacos, the onsite food truck! You’ll still occasionally find her behind the bar slinging beers! (make sure you get some Shreddy’s Tacos when you visit)!
*Shreddy’s Tacos is our resident food truck. They are open 11AM – close.
Nancy, Ruby & Freya – Bouncers
