When Shawn was trying to impress a girlfriend's parents at Salishan with some of Oregon's finest IPA, he ended up drain-pouring the stuff two days later. It had gone flat and stale in a glass growler. That's when he decided beer lovers needed a solution to keep craft beer fresh, and GrowlerWerks was born. (It's OK about the
girlfriend: His first love is skiing, anyway.) He's been an entrepreneur since childhood, making and selling pottery and walking sticks during summers in Ashland. He eventually wrote his first of four patents in 2006 at the age of 27.
