Roy

Roy is usually the last one standing or the first one ready to help "kill the keg" the next day. A long time "beer enthusiast", Roy drinks a wide variety of products and enjoys helping Colin and Rick at all the special events. We think it is mainly to "meet chicks" but Roy's hard work is second to none!

Tyler

Tyler spends most of his time being a designated driver for Coast Mountain Bus Company but his flexible schedule allows him to help out with the big events. Tyler is very hard working and proof that some Asian people are not "allergic" to beer.
