Those board members are Paige Martin, sales and quality manager at Second Pitch Brewing Co., and Mara Young, owner and managing member at Community Cultures Yeast Lab, which develops commercial yeast strains, custom blends and bacteria used by local breweries.
Even so, Young said she was surprised to be nominated because she isn't a professional brewer but rather the owner of a business serving craft breweries."Even though San Antonio Beer Week is a small, kind of grassroots movement, within our beer community, it's a big deal," Martin said."It felt good that the other breweries in town trusted us to take the lead."
