Chris Juergen

He will also be inventing and developing great beers every step of the way.
Along with what happens on-premise, Chris will be scouting the globe in search of the finest ingredients to brew Paradigm’s distinct and quality beers. Chris has often been quoted as saying “I’ll dump it on the ground before I sell a bad or inferior batch of beer.” Chris truly cares about quality and delivering a top-notch product.
Did we mention he is a professor as well? Chris developed and teaches a course at Texas A&M University called Brewery Operations and Management. That’s why he is affectionately known around here as Professor Pils.
