Some of you may know Kyle Manns from his service as assistance brewer to Victor Novak at TAPS Fish House and Brewery. Others may know Kyle from his innovative and GABF award winning beers over the last 10 months at Bottle Logic Brewing.

Kyle has made a name for himself at Bottle Logic for brewing classic styles with a unique twist although this is clearly a major collaboration amongst the entire Bottle Logic family. From the spiced saison Tattered Prince to the Great American Beer Fest gold medal winning Lagerithm each beer that Bottle Logic has put out has been fantastic and Kyle was a portion of that success.

BierBuzz® has learned that Kyle left Bottle Logic in November, whatever the reason for his departure, Kyle has found himself a familiar home, TAPS Fish House and Brewery. As of December 8th Kyle will be the Brewery Operations Manager for the Brea and Corona establishments directly assisting the Brewery Director David Huls. Kyle was formally a brewer with TAPS for numerous years and his return to TAPS has the potential to usher in a wave of creative beers from the TAPS brewhouse!

When reached for a comment, TAPS Brea manager Sunny Reed said “We are very, very, VERY happy to have Kyle back.” Hopefully, Kyle will continue his excellent brewing with TAPS and continue to put out beers that inspire others.

When asked about the departure, co-founder of Bottle Logic Brandon Buckner stated “we are said to see him go but the future looks good for both Kyle and Bottle Logic.” Through the discussion it was clear that while Kyle was an integral part to the team, the collaborative nature and innovative approaches will continue to produce excellent beers into the future.

I for one am just happy that both locations are available for me to enjoy high quality craft beer and I’m excited to try the future offerings from both establishments!
