Welcome Brewer Ady

Welcome Brewer Ady

Some of you may have already gotten a chance to meet Ady, our wonderful bartender! Adrienne Goppold is also now brewing for us! She’s been pulling double duty getting to know our brew system the last couple of months, and is now back there full-time to help pump out even more unusually lovely beer for our little brewery!

Taking Pride in Her Work

We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Ady as part of our family, and as a proud member of the LGBTQ community, she wanted to show her Pride with the first beer she brewed, Universal Language: Chat Session, in front of this amazing mural!

Work History

Ady comes from a family tradition of fermentation experts including winemakers, bakers, butchers, and family preservation traditions. She has spent nearly her whole life working in the hospitality industry with over 20 years of service roles. She more recently worked as an assistant brewer at Lost Province Brewing Co while earning a second bachelor’s degree in Fermentation Science with a minor in Chemistry from App State!

Ady’s Goals

Her interest in fermented beverage centers on the science, complexity, lore, and history behind them. It is important to her to continue supporting women and minorities in the industry (the original brewers) and in science, technology, and production roles. She joined the Divine Barrel team in June of 2023 and is excited to network with the Charlotte brewing community!
