Karl Strauss is one of the world's most accomplished Master Brewers. In Minden, Germany where his father was the president of a small brewery, Karl was born on the brewery premises and lived in the family quarters at the brewery while he was growing up (hence the claim that he has beer in his blood). 

In 1989, Karl teamed up with his cousin Chris (and Chris' college buddy Matt) to found the Karl Strauss Brewing Company.  What started as a wild dream of two college grads in an apartment in South Mission Beach, paired with the world-class expertise of Karl, became the first fresh beer San Diego had experienced in over 50 years.  

As Master Brewer, Karl Strauss designs the brewery operations and processes.  He personally develops or approves all of the beer formulations, oversees the quality control specifications, and trains each brewer.
