NICK PIZZO

Nick grew up working on the prairie, then in a greenhouse, always relying on his senses in the field and never afraid to use taste and smell when helping to identify plants. Drawing on his extensive background in the natural sciences, he enjoys making connections between the natural world around us and anything fermented. Nick’s fervor for fermentation has led to work at West Lakeview Liquors and a cellar director position at Fountainhead, and he brings his field-developed faculties to BTI’s beer, cider, and mead panels.
