Figure Eight Brewing

People of


	Lynne and Tom, a husband / wife team are the owners of Figure Eight Brewing LLC. It was Tom's crazy idea to undertake this venture back around May of 2009 and Lynne has been a brave champion of the effort ever since. Together, with the help of numerous friends and family, they have worked together to realize Tom's dream.
		Our invaluable friend Anne is both Lynne's best friend and as a first born Aries, Director of F8, if not officially, by self determination. All kidding aside, she has been here through thick and thin and with us, she believes and fights for the vision. With selfless devotion, she continues to work side by side with us in all aspects of our day to day operations and helps to bring us back on course when we stray too far. We are looking forward to continued fun and excitement as we ride this F8 roller coaster together.
	Mike Lahti joins Figure Eight Brewing with 10 yrs of brewery experience and is excited to restart at a smaller, growing brewery. Most recently he worked for Upland Brewing in Bloomington,IN. Prior to that he was at Harpoon in Windsor, VT and he got his start at Lake Superior Brewing in Duluth, MN. Raised in a small farming community in southern MN he went to college in Ely, MN and Missoula, MT where he worked on the wolf projects. He is a big music fan. Mainly a deadhead, he also enjoys blues and many of the bands in the jamband scene. Other hobbies are golf, pool and of course visiting other breweries.
		Tom's parents have both been a great support (as always) throughout life and in our creation of F8. Dad's valuable knowledge and skills have saved us from certain failure and it has given me the pleasure of working side by side with him in his machine shop. I hope that Lynne and I are able to reflect upon our son Joel, a portion of what our parents have given us.
	Shaun has been a tremendous help throughout the construction and ongoing changes to F8. He is always available at a drop of the hat to do some welding, to wash some dishes, or be a body guard / bouncer. His friend Berger has also been a great help and it is always fun when they come around to play some pinball...
		Without our neighbors, we would be SOL. Melissa is a perfect example with her selfless contributions over the course of F8's beginnings. Many thanks to her and all of our kind neighbors and friends. Cheers!
