Alex Nowell Brews great beer—a skill she’s honed through many years of plying her trade at quality California breweries including Sierra Nevada, Moylan’s, and Drake’s.
Today, in her role as brewmaster for Three Weavers in Los Angeles, she is mentioned frequently within the context of the brewery’s most unique feature—the pair of women running the business and the brewhouse—but that focus on gender (while important) should never overshadow her fundamental talent for making beer that is technically proficient and creatively engaging.
Her palate and approach have been informed by a deeply held love of diverse beer styles, and while there’s no one overarching theme to her loves—she’s just as apt to grab a pale, IPA, or Double IPA as she is a Pilsner or Belgian lambic—they all exude a sense of abiding quality paired with deep character.
