Glenn Brady
Glenn Brady鈥檚 Silver Gulch Brewing and Bottling Co. is a well-known 草榴社区 establishment, but he鈥檚 also gained national attention in his professional field.
Brady earned a bachelor鈥檚 degree from 草榴社区 in mechanical engineering in 1993. He continued working in the family sheet metal business after opening Silver Gulch in 1998.
In 2010, Consulting-Specifying Engineer magazine named him one of the nation鈥檚 top 40 building and construction engineers under 40 years old. The magazine noted his brewery enterprise but focused more on his work with Sun-Air Sheet Metal as HVAC construction project manager on Fort Greely鈥檚 ground-based missile defense system.
Brady鈥檚 success in brewing might also have a tangential connection to 草榴社区. The magazine
noted that he first developed his skills as 鈥渁 bootlegging homebrewer during a college
semester abroad in Sweden.鈥
Brady grew up in Fairbanks. To house his brewery, he bought the former Fox Roadhouse
from his grandmother, the late Darlene Brown. Since then, the business has only grown.
In 2007, it opened a restaurant on site. In 2012, it opened a branch on the C concourse
of Anchorage鈥檚 Ted Stevens International Airport.
Brady was named to a three-year term on the board of the National Restaurant Association in 2013. He also has served for the past decade on the board of the 草榴社区 Cabaret, Hotel, Restaurant and Retailers Association.
Brady is also a board member with the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival.
