Kellen Brewer

Kellen’s enthusiasm for wine grew from a side hobby into a career change from healthcare administration and marketing when he earned the WSET Level 3 Award in Wine in spring 2019. He then joined the Carboy Winery family with the opening of Carboy Winery Denver in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in September 2019. He enjoys meeting guests and creating a relaxed, fun wine tasting experience in the Carboy tasting rooms. Kellen serves as Wine Club Manager and has also provided regular monthly wine education for staff at both Carboy Winery and sister restaurant, Angelo’s Taverna.

Kellen is always ready to talk wine for hours. His favorite wines are Chenin Blanc and Mencia, and he likes experimenting with wine and food pairings.
