Brent Faber, Owner & Founder

Introducing Brent, the visionary behind Stone Hound Brewing Company! With a diverse background and a passion for adventure, Brent brings a unique blend of skills and experiences to our team.

Brent's journey began with a Bachelor's in Business Management, coupled with a minor in Economics from Adrian College. He honed his leadership prowess in various management roles within a large regional retailer before embarking on a new path. Fueling a lifelong aspiration, Brent pursued his Juris Doctorate at The University of Toledo College of Law, becoming a member of the State Bar of Michigan in 2010.

However, drawn by a love for community and a desire to immerse himself in Traverse City's vibrant culture, Brent made a bold career pivot towards the service industry. Starting as a barista at Cuppa Joe, he soon found his true calling within the craft beer world. For over a decade, Brent has been an integral part of the local craft beer scene, serving as both bartender and bar manager, where he cultivated his expertise and passion for providing an exceptional brewery experience.

Beyond the taps and bar stools, Brent is an avid outdoor enthusiast. You'll often find him cycling through scenic trails, indulging in cross-country skiing adventures, or hitting the open road on his motorcycle. His curiosity for the world extends to rock hunting and hiking with his four-legged friends, always seeking new experiences and connections with nature.

When he's not working or exploring the great outdoors, Brent can be found conducting "research" at other local breweries, enriching his knowledge and appreciation for the craft. With his dynamic spirit and dedication to excellence, Brent adds a dash of excitement to every aspect of Stone Hound Brewing Company. Join us in raising a glass to Brent and his boundless passion for life, libations, and the pursuit of adventure!
