Just in time for a major expansion, Trapp Family Lodge Brewery has a new brewmaster: former Magic Hat Brewing Company brewery manager John Patrick (J.P.) Williams.

Williams joined the Stowe brewery in October; he has already brought in new yeasts to render the lagers’ finish “crisper” while gearing up for the expansion, set to start next spring.
