Michael Higgins didn’t intend to become a brew master. He studied computers in college but was attracted to the manufacturing process at Newark’s giant beer plant, Anheuser-Busch. He’s risen to the top by remaining focused on the tasks at hand and respecting his large and diverse team. You can bet his Summer Fridays include enjoying a cold one.

Summer Fridays is a digital series that aims to inspire through the stories of successful Jersey entrepreneurs.
