Mark Costa
Founder/CEO/Head Brewer
Mark Costa is an award-winning homebrewer capturing many BJCP sanctioned awards from brewing competitions held across the United States. He also holds Cicerone Certifications. Mark has ten years of combined homebrewing and commercial brewing experience. Prior to acting on fulfilling his dream of opening his own brewery, Mark had a successful career in digital advertising for over ten years. In his various roles within the digital advertising world, Mark built, managed and led essential teams supporting the growth of the companies he worked for. In 2019, Mark decided to leave his career in digital advertising and pursue a career in craft beer. He took a full time production position at a well-respected New Jersey Craft Brewery.
