JASON MOSLEY hails from a family of local bootleggers (one of whom, alas, served time for his talents). So after a decades-long career, the next logical step for this respected attorney and estate planner was to open his own brewery. A craft beer connoisseur, Jason is a problem-solver who has forged his own path and believes in providing value to others. He has a passion for teaching—a throwback from his professor days—and loves a good IPA (you’ll have to give his 4G IPA a try!)
TOM AKIN is the mad scientist of The 5 Barrel. While working as a microbiologist, he began brewing beer at home, where some of The 5 Barrel’s recipes were developed and refined over many years of backyard bonfires and friendly garage poker games. Our lager, “Checkmate,” was named for Tom’s love of Chess. If you’re lucky, you may catch Tom sitting behind the drum set with some of our live music acts at The 5 Barrel.
