The Oxford Companion to Beer definition of. The brewmaster is, in essence, the chef of the brewery. A chef is responsible for the kitchen equipment, running the kitchen staff, putting the menu together, food safety, inventing new dishes, cooking, and plating and bears ultimate responsibility for every morsel of food that is served at a restaurant table. Similarly, the brewmaster often designs the brewery, trains a staff, keeps the equipment clean and running properly, orders ingredients and brewery supplies, keeps the costs of production in line, designs every beer down to the last detail, supervises the packaging of the beer, oversees quality control, and then follows the beer out into the marketplace to make sure that it always meets or exceeds the expectations of customers.

At the end of all this, he or she may represent the brewery in public, train sales staff, and maintain draught lines at a brewpub. Sam Calagione Self as Self. Ramy Romany Self as Self.
