Our Team

Evan Rouse

Co-Founder & CPO

Evan started it all. Six years ago after dropping Jake off at Indiana University he stopped at Upland Brewing Company and learned you could brew your own beer. Over the next six years he would transform the garage on Braxton Drive into a fully functioning brewery while amassing dozens of medals. Evan spent just over two years as a professional brewer at Hofbrauhaus where he developed the first IPL in the brewery’s 400 year history.

Jake Rouse

An avid craft beer fan, Jake is fired up about reinventing the Taproom, by introducing new and unique ways to enhance the beer drinking experience. Jake’s passion lies at the intersection of technology, beer, and entrepreneurship. After studying entrepreneurship at Indiana University, he’s spent the past 4 years at ExactTarget and Salesforce.com developing Strategic Alliances with companies like Adobe, Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle in an effort to help brands better connect with their customers through digital channels.
