Kristi Mathews Griner is the new brewer for Vintage 50 in Leesburg, Virginia and is taking over operations for their 10 barrel brew house. She anticipates both creating new brews and maintaining some old favorites.

She is a member of the Pink Boots Society, an association of women working in the beer industry. In November 2009, she was awarded the AB Vickers Scholarship for the Concise Course in Brewing Technology at Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL and completed the class with a 94%.
