Julia Hanlon Director of Brewing and Blending Operations, Steamworks Brewing Co. Born and raised in BC, Julia Hanlon is a chemical and biological engineer. However, two decades ago, after a visit to Belgium where she found people’s reverence for beer infectious, she decided to make brewing her career. Hanlon got her start with Molson Brewery in 2006, during which she completed her Diploma in Brewing with honours from the Institute of Brewing & Distilling in the United Kingdom. Hanlon became Steamworks’ head brewer in 2015. “I love Steamworks because we’ve been a company committed to innovation. There’s always something to learn, and I work with committed, creative and fun people,” she shares. “Why choose one beer when you can try four? This pack contains our Flagship Hazy IPA, Pale Ale, Heroica Red Ale and my desert island beer, Pilsner.”

Kelcie Jones Sommelier & Wine Educator
“A classic that’s drinkable and effortless yet subtly elegant. This fresh and zesty white wine pairs with spring salads, crudos and pastas and is farmed with the utmost care for biodiversity in the vineyard.” Vancouver-born Kelcie Jones caught the wine bug waiting tables while completing her BA and MA in English literature at the University of Toronto. Instead of staying on to do her PhD, Jones flew to France to work a wine harvest. “I love how social and communicative wine is, but I missed the academic side, so I applied to the Master of ine program two years ago, which has been deeply rewarding and challenging,” she acknowledges. Jones, awarded BC’s Best Sommelier 2023 by the BC Chapter of the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers, also teaches wine courses through This is Wine School, a business she started with friends. “Being both a student and a teacher means I read and taste a lot, which is ideal!”
