    JACQUELINE BEARD – BALE BREAKER BREWING
    Jacqueline Beard is the daughter of two engineers and was born and
    raised in the great state of Delaware. After graduating with a bachelor’s
    degree in Environmental Sciences from Northwestern University, she
    worked in the fields of scientific research, sustainable food production,
    municipal water quality, and winemaking before joining the quality
    team at Bale Breaker Brewing Company in 2016. Under her leadership,
    Bale Breaker’s sensory program has grown from informal tastings
    to a formalized program that meets five days a week with diverse
    responsibilities in the brewery. She especially enjoys nerding out about
    the impact of yeast biochemistry on volatile aroma compounds and takes
    every chance she can get to brew and develop recipes on Bale Breaker’s
    5-barrel Imagination Station system.
