HEAD BREWER

My beer career started when I got a job waiting tables at a brewpub very similar to Tumbled Rock in Oakland, CA. I did not like beer at all, but, during a server training meeting, my world was rocked by just one sip of Petrus Aged Pale. It was tart, and oaky, slightly sweet, with a smooth, bitter finish. I was hooked from then on. I would hang out in the brewery and soak in any information I could from the head brewer there. I decided I needed to immerse myself even more into beer and took a job at a taproom in San Francisco, again, following the brewer around and learning as much as I could.

As fate would have it, I ended up pouring beers one night for the packaging manager at a bigger brewery down the street. I expressed my interest in learning how to package beer, and the next week I had a job filling kegs for 8 hours a day. Eventually, this lead me to an internship as an assistant brewer at a small nano-brewery in South San Francisco. While working that internship, I met my future boss Alisha Blue, at Freewheel Brewing in Redwood City. Once my internship was up I went to work with her as her assistant brewer, learning all about traditional English Cask Ale. After almost two years at Freewheel, it was time to make a change and move across the country to Wisconsin.

I ended up at Octopi Brewing, in Waunakee, WI. While moving, I also won a full scholarship to Siebel Institute of Technology through the Pink Boots Society, an international organization of women in the beer industry that provides scholarships to help advance women’s brewing careers.

Octopi was a wonderful experience, but, I needed to get back to my roots brewing my own recipes in small batches. When I found Tumbled Rock, I knew their vision is exactly what I wanted for myself. I can’t wait to bring my West Coast flair to Baraboo Bluffs!

Erica Recommends to Pair It Up!

NITWIT BELGIAN WIT & CHOPPED SALAD

Our Chopped Salad is my go-to for lunch, dinner, and probably breakfast if we were open that early. I like to pair the super fresh ingredients with a nice, light, but flavorful beer. The mix of the smoked trout with dried cranberries plays perfectly with the coriander and bright citrus of Nitwit.

UDDERS UP & FRIDAY FISH FRY

What kind of Wisconsinite would I be if I didn’t include Friday Fish Fry? When I first moved to Wisconsin I was introduced the Friday Fish Fries, but we drank Brandy Old Fashioned’s instead of beer. And as much as I love an Old Fashioned, sometimes, I like to pair my Tumbled Rock Fish Fry with our classic, most beloved beer, Udders Up. The secret to this pairing is in the batter, Chef Lance uses Udders Up. I am partial to the 4-piece fried cod with baked potato and coleslaw, served with a 22oz mug of smooth, balanced Udders Up. There is no other perfect Friday night meal.

SARRINGTON ROAD & CHICKEN WINGS

I am not saying this because I am a paid spokesperson for TR, but, our wings are THEE BEST WINGS EVER. Smokey, spicy, juicy, I mean, what more could you want from a wing? I like to order my wings with the dry rub and a side of house-made ranch, and I pair it with Sarrington Road, our English IPA. Sarrington is not like a traditional West Coast or New England IPA, it is more earthy, dry, and not as bitter. The earthiness of the beer plays well with the smokiness and slight spice of the wings. I could eat the wings as an appetizer, or a full meal.
