Michael Kane started making beer in college. The summer after his sophomore year, he traveled throughout Europe and became enamored with cask-conditioned ESBs, Lambics, Hefeweizens. Back in the US, weekend pilgrimages to newly opened breweries cemented his career aspirations.
Formerly a microbiologist at Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline and Aventis, East Coast Yeast’s Al Buck got into beer the same way many homebrewers do: with a kit.
