Jenny Mann

For over a decade, Jenny Mann has been a huge advocate for #SDBeer, while working for some of the top breweries and craft-beer bars in the San Diego beer community. Her experience includes beertending, developing brewery tours and draft maintenance programs, education, management, sales and marketing. She is a certified Cicerone and has photographed for over half the breweries in San Diego. After seeing the need for beer-specific social-media in the craft-beer industry, she built a business and online community designed specifically to navigate and guide small-to-medium-sized breweries and brewpubs through the wacky and everchanging world of algorithms and social-media to help them get their messages and products out to the masses. Her program can help folks just starting out or create a support system for breweries’ existing programs. Jenny travels all over the country coaching and speaking in front of local brewer guild memberships, helping brewing companies create thoughtful, informative, timely posts to keep fans and followers in the know.

Craft Beer A-Ha Moment: Drinking a Samuel Smith Taddy Porter 22 years ago and learning that there were many other styles of porter, which got me into homebrewing. And, of course, the moment I realized I could actually work in craft-beer and talk “beer” with others!
