EP-370 Tony Rahi Jaquez Moreno of Outsider Brewing

Published: July 1, 2023, noon

For many of us, beer is a passion. It\u2019s something that tastes great, brings us together with loved ones, and provides small details we can fret over in an endless quest to best understand everything that goes into the beverage. It can also be a lifeline.

In this episode, you\u2019ll learn why a job in beer became so pivotal for Tony Rah\xed Jaquez Moreno, who came to the U.S. at 19 to study at the University of Nevada, but turned away from a career in mechanical engineering to immerse himself in malt, hops, water, and yeast. Known as \u201cTony J\u201d to friends as well as fans of his hip hop, he\u2019s now a multi-hyphenate brewer, marketer, taproom manager, and more for North Carolina\u2019s Outsider Brewing. He\u2019s also a recipient of the Sir Geoff Palmer Scholarship Award for Brewing from the Michael James Jackson Foundation for Brewing & Distilling.

As we learn from Tony about what drew him to beer, you\u2019ll better understand his love of art and science, how he approaches brewing, and how a truly unique set of equipment at Outsider helps him communicate with drinkers. You\u2019ll want to pay close attention to how we describe this patented setup, which lowers barriers for casual beer drinkers and enhances a taproom experience for enthusiasts. In both cases, it allows Tony to connect with customers to literally show them a brew day in process and share why they should care more about what ends up in their glass.
