Lars Gilman, Brewer, is a native southern Californian, Lars first became interested in home brewing when he moved to Chicago in 1998. In 2001 he took the Short Course in Brewing Technology at the Seibel Institute of Chicago, and shortly thereafter he began working at the Goose Island Brewery, where he learned the ins and outs of brewing on a commercial scale.
In 2002 he moved back to California to take a job brewing for Stone Brewing Company, which at the time was in San Marcos. Lars left Stone in 2004 to open Hydrobrew, a homebrewing and hydroponics supply store located here in Oceanside.
