Meet the Founders
Get to know the passionate team behind Watchtower Brewing. Our founders bring a wealth of experience and a shared love for craft beer, each contributing their unique skills to create something truly special.
George Handlin
Partner, Head Brewer
“Watchtower started with a Mr. Beer kit, a love for the craft, and a dream to bring people together. From brewing in my basement to building a brewery in Aberdeen, this journey has always been about connection. We’re here to make great beer and even better memories.”
Frank Young
Partner, Entertainment & Operations
“I come from a background in entertainment and finance, which might sound like an odd combo, but it’s a perfect fit for a brewery. I love great beer, and I’m excited to help make Watchtower a welcoming, successful place for the community to gather and celebrate.”
Joe Fino
Partner, Marketing & Storytelling
“I’ve been brewing at home for over 20 years, but my real focus here is telling our story. Through digital marketing and community outreach, I want Watchtower to become something people feel connected to. We’re honoring local heroes and creating a place that reflects the spirit of Aberdeen.”
Sure, we take our beer seriously. Ourselves? Not so much.
