Matthew Baloukas
Since young I always had a path that was carved for me but as a university grad and a corporate worker got me desiring more. I come from a family of entrepreneurs and I understand the idea of hard work and motivation. I always wanted to work and produce something I can call my own. I love the community that beer and brewing brings and I am a huge advocate of good people, good drinks, and good food is all we need!
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE STYLE OF BEER?
Any seasonal that Louks produces. I love tasting the flavours of the season (especially pumpkin spice latte, errr i mean BEER!)
IF YOU WERE A SINGER WHO WOULD YOU BE?
I’d probably be a background singer in a pop band. I’d only be there to sing falsetto notes, and only the high notes. Apart from that I’d probably just sit in the back and give sultry stares to the crowd.
GUILTY PLEASURE
Video games; I am very streaky as an individual so I have bouts of playing games for 3-4 hours a day.
Apart from that, im always open to experience and will give anything a try. From dancing and art, to mechanics and pottery; bring it on.
CO-FOUNDER / CO-OWNER / BREW MASTER
Thomas Baloukas
Growing up, I always had a thirst for knowledge. I always tried to quantify my world and understand how and why things work. Science had always peeked my interest, and I used to watch every Saturday morning Beakman’s World and Bill Nye the Science Guy. In highschool I never really had the patience to sit down and learn all the math behind the physical sciences and decided to take a career path in History. While in university, I took up home winemaking as a hobby, which then cascaded into homebrewing. Homebrewing then led me on a path to open my own brewery and rekindle the childhood thirst for learning all over again!
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE STYLE OF BEER?
I usually gravitate towards Irish Cream Ales but a good crisp lager is usually a close second.
IF YOU WERE A SINGER WHO WOULD YOU BE?
If I were a singer I would like to be Jon Bon Jovi. Let’s be real here, his has the vocal chops, his hair (from the 80s) and he also wrote one the best karaoke songs ever, Wanted Dead or Alive!
GUILTY PLEASURE
My guiltiest of pleasures is most definitely 90’s pop music (BsB, N’Sync, Mc Hammer…)
