A Colorado native, Josh Strobel brings excitement, creativity, and a strong work ethic to his brewing practices. Trained in his home state at CSU, and practiced with over 7 years’ experience at local Colorado breweries, Josh is as comfortable working in the tanks as he is talking to the customers up front. Josh brings a fresh and unique flavor profile to the Warfield lineup, and with a love for naming his newest creations, be sure to keep an eye on that beer board for fresh brews that capture your tastes and bring a smile to your lips. When he’s not busy in the tanks or on the canning line, you’ll find Josh exploring his new mountain home, hitting the mountain trails running, biking, and hiking, or camping and enjoying a nice crisp lager.

Emma grew up in the Wood River Valley and returned home to brew at Warfield after eleven years out of state. Her degree in Food Science from Cal Poly, SLO sparked her interest in lab work which brought her to Sonoma county wineries, where she was able to work harvest and travel in the off-season. After 5 years in the wine world, she followed her passion for homebrewing to Bend, Oregon where she learned to brew at a production scale at Sunriver Brewing.

In addition to operating the brew house and working in the cellar, Emma is working towards her diploma in brewing through the Institute of Brewing and Distilling to gain as much knowledge as possible surrounding all things beer.

While not at work, you can find Emma hiking, cooking, reading, playing board games, propagating her plants and hanging out with her dog Reinga.
