Georgetown Brewing might make the finest beers on the west coast and one of the people behind the brewery’s success is Manny Chao, for whom Manny’s Pale Ale is named. Chao, when he’s not brewing some of the world’s best beer, fights crime, keeping the city safe from those who would try to hurt its most vulnerable (like this creature he’s secured in a beer bubble). In his work life, though, Chao and Georgetown make beers that are smooth, crisp and always on point, whether that’s their Chopper’s Red Ale, Manny’s Pale Ale or their award winning Bodhizafa IPA, which recently won the gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival. Cheers!
