Head Brewer
Meet Erik Norsen, the Head Brewer here at Wagner Valley Brewing Co.
Hailing from the Greater Rochester Area, Erik developed a passion for home brewing in his mid twenties while enrolled at Finger Lakes Community College, eventually leaving New York to study Fermentation Science at Oregon State University. Following graduation, Erik spent a season working in the Oregon wine industry before moving to New England, where he spent three years working at Harpoon Brewery as a cellar technician. Erik started working with Wagner Brewing as an Assistant Brewer shortly after moving back to the Finger Lakes, bringing a great deal of experience and passion for crafting fine beers.
