President: Bernie Duenwald
-
Bernie grew up in Eastern Washington’s wheat and barley fields. He went to
grade school in Edwall and high school in Reardan. He left home
for an Ivy League education at Dartmouth.
- Bernie finished a geology degree at Dartmouth and returned to the
area, leased land and started growing his own wheat and malting barley.
He farmed for the next 15 years, eventually serving as a charter
commissioner on the Washington Barley Commission.
- In 1990, he went to work for Great Western Malting Co. in Vancouver, WA, selling brewing malts to beer companies all over the world. The malting company sent their salesman to the Seibel Institute brewing school so he could better understand the process and needs of his customers.
- Bernie would work for the malting company until 2001, when he landed a new job at the U.S. Grains Council in Washington, D.C.
- In 2005, Bernie and his wife Cindy (who co-owns Simply Country Retreats) moved back to Reardan, WA and Golden Hills Brewing Co. was about to begin.
