Andrew Rhine
General Manager
From Sunriver in Central Oregon and a Bend High graduate, Andy Rhine oversees the operations of the brewery among other responsibilities. He began his career at the nexus of engineering and home brewing.
At the elite Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana, Andy began his engineering education. He went on to positions as a process engineer and quality manager while home-brewing on the side.
While Andy helped launch a new manufacturing plant one of his past employers, his capital projects at Cascade Lakes Brewing Company were different. “My first day at Cascade Lakes, we had a major restaurant cleaning party,” he said. “We cleaned every nook and cranny of the place. We found lots of loose change, so that was nice, and pizza and beer are always a good way to end a good day of work.”
At work, Andy is motivated by integrity, respect, people, and safety. “I will never allow an employee to do something I’m not comfortable doing myself,” Andy said. “Teamwork makes the dream work and it takes an army to complete a goal.”
Beyond the brewery, Andy likes running, hiking, skiing and being outside with friends and family.
FAVORITE STYLE OF BEER. “PALE ALE, BUT PILSNER IS A RISING FAVORITE.”
