Meet Brian Davidson, Cornelius Assistant Taproom Manager

At Lost Worlds Brewing, we're more than a Cornelius brewery. We're a community of adventurers, storytellers, and craft-beer lovers who make every guest experience unforgettable. Today, we're excited to spotlight Brian Davidson, a familiar face in our Cornelius taproom and now our newly promoted Assistant Taproom Manager. Read on to discover Brian's story, the passions that drive him, and how he's ready to help lead new adventures in our Cornelius basecamp.

Tell us a bit about your background - where you're from, your family, any pets, your school, or early life experiences?

I am originally from Connecticut, where I grew up playing many sports and spending most of my time outdoors. I played lacrosse for 12 years, and 4 of those years were at Nichols College, where I graduated from. One of my biggest passions is golf. I've been playing for almost 20 years and worked in the industry for 14. Another fun fact about me is that I am a dog lover, and I am extremely involved in a dog rescue!

Congrats on your promotion to Assistant Taproom Manager! What does this new role mean to you?

I love working at Lost Worlds. It is an honor to be a part of the management team now and work for an incredible brewery!

How would you describe the vibe of the Cornelius taproom to someone who's never been?

It's a very adventurous yet cozy vibe, with tons of artifacts. The best part is, we have amazing beer for you to drink while you explore all of our artifacts!

If Lost Worlds were planning a team expedition, where would you want to go?

I would love to take the team out to Colorado to do a camping trip in the mountains!

Every explorer has that one unforgettable trip. What's yours, and what made it stand out?

One time I stayed in the mountains of Gatlinburg with some friends, and it was an absolutely incredible setting with the snow-topped mountains in the fall!

If you could only pour one Lost Worlds beer for the rest of your life, which one would it be, and why?

Vista West Coast IPA! I find that it has a great flavor and it's not too filling!

What excites you most about leading the Cornelius team?

We have a great team, and everybody is passionate in different ways about the brewery, which makes leading this team the best job ever!

Say hello to Brian next time you're at Lost Worlds, Cornelius, and let him guide you on a flavor-packed adventure, one pint at a time!
