Craig McFarlane He/Him:
Craig has worked in the craft beer industry for 7 years in a variety of roles, but most people know him for his events. From planning and hosting events at plenty of breweries as well as serving at Born Brewing Co. for the past 4 years, he's managed to make sure everyone feels welcomed, seen and heard.
Carrie Jamieson She/Her:
Growing up as a lesbian in Saskatchewan in the late 90's early 2000's, Carrie learned early on what it meant to navigate spaces where acceptance wasn’t always guaranteed.
Today, Carrie is proud to bring that perspective into the craft beer industry, where she has found both purpose and belonging. At Annex, I’ve had the chance to grow in a space that not only values creativity and community but actively embraces diversity. Annex is more than a brewery, it’s a workplace that champions inclusivity and makes room for everyone, no matter their background, identity, or story. As a lesbian working in beer, Carrie is passionate about building welcoming spaces. She believes that representation matters, and is proud to be part of a team that believes the same.
Erin Baker She/Her:
Erin Baker (she/her) has been in the brewing industry for about 10 yrs now. She started out in Vancouver leading a packaging line, and moved to Calgary to be an assistant brewer. Erin has pretty much done all production roles and is now working as a Brewery Admin at Banded Peak Brewery. In her current role, Erin looks after logistics and production for a large scale production brewery. You name it and Erin has likely done it in the brewing industry.
