Alex Ghinn (@akashabrewing)
Alex has been brewing professionally in Louisville since early 2021. At Akasha, she enjoys brewing sours and IPAs while enjoying an ice-cold Diet Coke or crispy High Life at home. Water is also a top 5.
Jessy Harding (@kygbrewers)
Jessy grew up in northern Indiana (but fully claims KY as her home). She has found space in the craft beer industry that has allowed her to be her truest self.
Jessy has been in craft beer in the Commonwealth for over 15 years, and she’s done just about every job except brew the stuff. It only makes sense after all these years to have landed as Executive Director for the Kentucky Guild of Brewers.

Stephanie is a brewer for Mirror Twin Brewing Company in Lexington and formally a brewer and cellar hand for Country Boy Brewing. Current chapter leader of the Kentucky Pink Boots Society (PBS). Recently won a national scholarship through the PBS to attend a course at the Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago.
