Steve has a knack for growing craft breweries. For well over 12 years he served as the Vice President of Sales for Uinta Brewing, the premier microbrewery in Salt Lake City, Utah. Under Steve’s leadership, Uinta skyrocketed to become America’s 39th largest craft brewery. As one of two equity partners, he helped Uinta go from a privately-held company into one that acquired significant investment in 2014. While always content to drink a cold brew, Steve is also known to enjoy a well-made Old-Fashioned which sparked an idea to expand his expertise into the world of craft spirits.
While serving as a pilot in the United States Marine Corp., Woody grew a deep affinity for San Diego and Southern California living, scoping out different surf spots up and down the coastline during the day and experimenting with brewing all kinds of different beers at night. His rich knowledge of craft beers soon transitioned into a great passion for distilling. Many mentors guided Matt on honing his skills for making whiskey on a commercial production level. While traveling during his military career, he had opportunities to sample fine whiskies from around the world. As his whiskey palate was sharpened so was his desire to create a fine whiskey of his own. Continuing to learn the craft, his path eventually led him to Steve Kuftinec.
Many of Nick’s fondest childhood memories are of his family gathered around the table trading tales of the day over a homecooked meal. The third generation San Diegan grew up in a multicultural home filled with the aromas and tastes of Portugal and Mexico, culinary traditions that kindled his interest in cooking which led to his inventive approach to our menu. Like a moth to a flame, Nick is stoked to be cooking in a wood-fire only kitchen. He’s crafted a menu of seasonal and locally driven, fire cooked fare inspired by California’s melting pot of cultural and culinary diversity. Influenced by his reverence for the spirits, dishes are designed for guests to pair with a well-crafted cocktail and enjoy against the backdrop of a working distillery.
