Ben Neidhart
Owner/founder/head-brewer/head-blender/recipe creator/label designer and anything else that is needed to keep OEC running, which of course includes a lot of crisis management as we all know nothing ever runs smoothly. Want to find Ben? Well so does the rest of his team. Ben is usually the one who is zipping around – never stationary for long.
Tony Pellino
Assistant brewer/OEC Taster/ keeper of all things social media related/OEC tour operator. Tony is also the keeper of all bottles at big bottle releases such as Experimentalis Day, Oudilis Day, and our Anniversaries. Wonder who that guy is who controls the bottle sales on those days – that is Tony. Always the first one you see on those days. You can also find him in the tasting room nearly every Saturday, Friday and some other weekday!

Chloe Girouard-Martel
You can find Chloe working in the taproom nearly every Saturday and Sunday. She is currently working on a number of horticultural degrees and will easily play the most eclectic array of music while running the show in the tasting room!
Jie Yu
Wife of owner/founder Ben Neidhart. Manages all things tasting room related so that we can open for you. Deals with all OEC finances and paperwork so OEC can run smoothly behind the scenes, so the rest of the team can brew & blend the crazy beers for you.
Fred “Mini Australian Shephard”
Our mini Australian Shepard provides comical relief for the whole crew. Stealer of coffee cups or anything plastic (pens especially). Loves to beg for food with the cutest sit and chase frisbees. If you stop by during the weekdays, Fred is the first one to greet you. Don’t be intimidated by his bark as he is very friendly. Fred’s day off is Friday afternoon and Saturday and Sunday where he is at home getting his beauty sleep.
