Andrew Kolinski, Brewery Operations Director

Highland Brewing Co.

After graduating college with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Andrew Kolinski treated himself to a simple homebrewing kit and was immediately hooked on the process and science of brewing. For the next 11 years he worked for Emerson Process Management – Rosemount Division as an instrumentation geek and engineer, supporting manufacturing, design, marketing, and field troubleshooting. During this time, he earned his Six Sigma Black Belt and, at some point, wrote a Jerry McGuire-style mission statement, detailing precisely how to formally transition into a brewing career. A scant two years later, he was a project engineer for Sierra Nevada Brewing in California.

Sierra became the foundation for what has been an unbelievable experience in brewing. Only a few years after joining Sierra Nevada, Andrew was asked to help design, manage, and build the new greenfield Sierra facility in North Carolina. This was an amazing opportunity that taught him so much in such a condensed timeframe. Andrew's technical brewing and project management skills were well sharpened after the brewery commissioning was complete. At that point, it was time to explore and expand his brewing knowledge beyond process piping, instrumentation, construction, and design. Enter MillerCoors and the world of "Big Barley."

Looking back on his time at Miller, Andrew says it is funny to think that working for a seven-million-barrel brewery brought him closer to beer than at any other point working in his craft career. As the Brewing Optimization Engineer, he supported process changes, swam in reams of production data, and, best of all, was able to obtain his Diploma Brewer status through the Institute of Brewing & Distilling (IBD).

After his time at Miller, having returned to his beloved North Carolina, Andrew began as Brewing Operations Manager for Highland Brewing Co., the 60th largest brewery in the U.S. He is currently the Director of Brewery Operations, overseeing brewing, packaging, distribution, quality, capital expenditure (CapEx) projects, maintenance, utilities, and data management. It has been fantastic to rejoin the craft brewing industry and support a brewery packed with passion and talent, and one with continuous improvement at its core.

In his free time, Andrew enjoys hiking and exploring the Western North Carolina mountains, espresso drinking, equipment hacking, travel, and randomly motoring throughout the Southeastern U.S.

Scott Osborn, President and Co-Owner

Fox Run Vineyards

Scott Osborn is a Rochester native who traveled the country and world before returning to the Finger Lakes to become the proprietor of Fox Run Vineyards. Scott went into real estate development in 1974, later opening an office in Lake County California, a well-known viticulture area. Living so close to the vines, Scott became interested in wine. In 1980, he took his first job at Konocti Winery labeling bottles. He went on to work at Firestone Vineyards, Zaca Mesa, and Byron Winery in Santa Barbara. In 1984, while working at Byron, he returned to visit family in Rochester. During a wine tasting trip around Seneca Lake, Scott tasted a Wagner Vineyards 1982 barrel aged Chardonnay, his first experience with a brilliant cool climate wine. He realized that this was where he wanted to make wines and ultimately own his own vineyard and winery. In 1993, Fox Run became available and, in partnership with Andy Hale, he purchased it. Fox Run Vineyards has since transitioned to a family-owned business that Scott co-owns with his wife, Ruth.

Scott has served as President of the Seneca Lake Wine Trail twice and is a founding member and past president of Finger Lakes Wine Alliance. He is a founding member of the New York Wine Industry Association, created in 2009 to represent the wine industry and to educate legislators in Albany on issues that impact New York State wineries and vineyards. Elected by his statewide peers, Scott currently serves as the New York representative and Vice Chair on the board of Wine America, the national advocacy organization for the U.S. wine industry in Washington, D.C. He regularly participates in wine judging, panel discussions, and symposiums addressing the many challenges of an increasingly sophisticated appellation.

Fox Run Vineyards has been a participant in the New York State Department of Labor Safety Health Achievement Program, sponsored by OSHA, since 2005.
