Meet the team
This is an introductory paragraph that you can easily edit or delete. You can use this space to say a few things about yourself and why you do what you do. This gives your website more depth and helps visitors relate to you on a more personal level.
Sam
Sam is recipe development and conception, production, and so much more at Juicehead. A degree in biotechnology taught Sam academia wasn't for him. Seven years on and off working in craft beer bars in Edinburgh and Wellington meant seven years of “sampling” the ever-growing and multidimensional spectrum of beer. Pure chance brought him to New Zealand. Outside of the brewery, you’ll find him on a mountain bike or with Noodles and Beans, his two cats, obviously. They are yet to influence a beer.
Emma
Emma is the artist behind your new favourite can designs. She’s kind of always been around beer and hospitality; ever since she started working in pubs in the UK. Emma knew nothing about craft beer really, but as soon as she tried one in New Zealand she wanted to know everything about it! Working at Malthouse as well as Fork & Brewer helped; seeing it first hand and being able to work with people who were really excited about the stuff. Emmas favourite thing about beer is the people and the community that it builds around itself. Outside of JuiceHead, you can find her painting in her garden.
Ciaran
Ciaran is the director of all things at JuiceHead. Big picture, little picture and a lot of the things people take for granted on the side of the can. Ciaran still thinks back to his first brew kit made by himself and some mates out of two old kegs and 12 metres of copper piping that we painful coiled into a counterflow cooler. It involved tears. With what little free time he has outside of work, he can be found playing the least Kiwi sport that is football for a local beer bar’s pub team, or with a PS4 controller in hand.
Calum
Another man of Malthouse, Calum cut his teeth in the beer scene. Any time you come across Juicehead on the internet, it was probably Calum who put it there. Hailing from the UK, like 3/4s of the team, he found his way to New Zealand on a holiday and just couldn’t leave. When he’s not working away on can designs with Emma, you’ll find him out and about in the city if he’s not playing in his local Saturday League.
Sean
Sean, the newest member to the team is our sales manager! With a wealth of hospitality experience and a gift for the gab, Sean can be seen strutting his stuff around most of New Zealand as he tries to get everyone drinking Juicehead. Another hailing from the UK, Sean arrived with his partner (Calum’s sister) and they both fell in love with the place and didn’t want to leave. With a degree in commercial music Sean enjoys watching live music (his favourite band currently is Bad Hagrid among others) or playing football for his Saturday Team Seatoun F.C alongside fellow Juicehead Calum.
