CBP Stories - Brewing for 25 Years with M. David Gonzalez (Lost Worlds Brewing Company)

CBP Stories showcase individual members who have an inspiring story to tell.

M. David Gonzalez (DG) has been a professional brewer since 1996 and attended the prestigious Siebel Institute of Technology in 1997. He has been in a variety of situations from small brewpubs and breweries, to larger production facilities, to spending more than a decade with a corporate brewpub chain as a Head Brewer, and in a variety of capacities ranging from Assistant Brewer though to Director of Brewing Operations as well as many other important roles. He has spent two tours on the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Craft Brewers Guild, including being the first Vice President.

He has won dozens of Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals at the Carolinas Championships of Beers over the years, and part of a brewing team that brought home a Gold Medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2016. Shortly after Lost Worlds opened, he lead the team that earned four medals, including three Gold, at the 2020 North Carolinas Brewers Cup, and a Silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival in the same year.

He is the Director of Brewing Operations/Head Brewer for Lost Worlds Brewing Company in Cornelius, North Carolina. In his spare time (which he runs a brewery, so isn’t much), he spends time with his wife and 4 boys, hiking, and visiting other breweries…of course.
