I’m Jon Schneider—brewer, consultant, and builder of systems that bring vision to life. With over eight years in the industry and a passion for both rustic and modern brewing, I help breweries streamline their operations, develop standout recipes, and bring intention to every batch.
Because great beer starts long before the pour.I got my start the hard way—hands-on, self-built, and driven by obsession. From co-founding a farm brewery in North Carolina to developing yeast cultures from wildflowers, I’ve always been drawn to the balance between creativity and precision.
These days, I consult with breweries across the U.S., helping teams dial in their processes, design thoughtful recipes, and build systems that support consistent, intentional brewing. I studied at the American Brewers Guild, where I deepened my understanding of brewing science, process control, and recipe design—training that still informs the practical, hands-on work I do today. I’m currently open to consulting work anywhere in the world and always excited to collaborate with breweries in new places.
I split my time between brewing research, mountain trails, local food discoveries, and brewing-industry software development.
