Jared Jordan joined the Crossbuck Brewing team in September 2021, hoping to be a part of putting Walla Walla on the map as a brewery destination on par with the local wine industry. A Walla Walla native, Jared learned to brew beer from his dad and the two practiced their home brewing skills in the garage, with his mom serving as quality control.
Prior to becoming part of the Crossbuck team, Jared worked for the Forest Service as the Hells Canyon River Ranger on the Snake River where he managed the rafting and kayaking program patrolling the river to ensure river permit compliance and safety. Jared loves exploring the outdoors and says you can usually find him hiking, rafting, mountain biking and skiing.
