Owner, Operator & Head Janitor

Charlie is a retired logger of 37 years who loves beer, his family and Whipsaw Brewing, the dream-turned-reality Ellensburg based brewery. If it hadn’t been for his love for home brewing and his wife Debbie’s approval, we wouldn’t have any of these fantastic, hand crafted beers today!
