The director of brewing operations for the progressive Wisconsin brewery discusses finding their flavor voice in a way that transcends style.
Matt Sampson, director of brewing operations for Hacienda Beer and Door County Brewing
in Wisconsin, never set out to be a brewer. The PhD chemist figured on
life in a lab—but life had something else in store. He found his way
into brewing through the side door—vaulting from a somewhat unique
position as brand manager and QC tech. That led to cellar and brewing
work. Now, years later, Sampson still manages the Hacienda brand while
overseeing all brewing for both Hacienda and Door County...

(STACKER) – In a world where just a small number of massive companies dominate the beer market, sipping on a brew created close to home can be all the more satisfying.
The last decade has seen an explosion of breweries that operate on a smaller scale and offer a wider, and sometimes more experimental, selection of beer.

How To Make An Old Fashioned
Wisconsin: Black Gold
- Score: 4.57- Ratings: 795
- Brewing company: Central Waters Brewing Co.
- Style: American Imperial Stout
- Alcohol by volume (ABV): 11%
This beer changes the color of gold for hopheads. No longer shiny orange, Black Gold, "Anheuser-Busch`s Pure Gold," is much higher in alcohol. Central Waters Brewing won gold in the 2012 Great American Beer Festival`s Wood and Barrel Aged Strong Stout division with their 1414 beer. Black Gold was born after being aged in the same 25-year-old oak bourbon barrels for 35 months.
Ken Notes: What do you think...
We may be a month and a half into 2022, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still take a look back at the beer year that was. If you’re anything like us, you likely tried your fair share of West Coast IPAs, fruited sours, barrel-aged porters, milkshake IPAs, pale ales, lagers, and unique, experimental beers in 2021. Hopefully, you found some absolute gems. Maybe some of them have cracked your 2022 rotation and set your year off on the right foot...
Half Acre Burl - ABV: 8.5% - Average Price: $19 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans
Why This Beer?
Burl by Half Acre was a standout beer in 2021 for me. You could taste a magical blend of fruity (mango, peach) notes from both the yeast and hops they used. They balanced the rustic barley sweetness expertly with the dry bitterness of the hops.
Bell’s Two Hearted Ale - ABV: 7% - Average Price: $8 for a four-pack of 16-ounce cans
Why This Beer?
You can’t go wrong with a classic interpretation of the style every time, and this beer has pretty much defined the style for almost 20 years. The Centennial hops make it such a great experience. Draft, cans, or bottles, this one never disappoints.
