Shannon Lynnette

The San Diego craft-beer community has known few as exuberant and outspoken as Shannon Lynnette. After four years spent cutting her teeth at AleSmith Brewing, where she rose to become the head of beer education, she staked out on her own in 2016 in search of a smaller ship to beat the drums for and new waters to traverse. Lured in by the creative ferocity of a small unknown brewery in a quiet El Cajon industrial park, she became ignited in her role as Hospitality Manager for Burning Beard Brewing, where her exemplary performance earned her partner status. She has since moved to Europe, but retains close ties with members of the #SDBeer universe and champions them from across the Atlantic.
