About Métier Brewing Company
MBC is all about strengthening community and creating a welcoming gathering space for families, friends, and those who appreciate exceptional beer.
“Great beer should be for everyone, and we don't mean just the people drinking it. At MBC, we brew beer with everybody in mind: the suppliers who produce our ingredients, the brewers who craft award-winning recipes, the knowledgeable staff who serve our pints, and you, the members of our community.”
Our MBC Team
As beer enthusiasts, the MBC team is influenced by tradition, but not bound by it. We experiment with brews that are innovative and accessible. With our commitment to craft, we brew with intention and integrity, and we never compromise.
We are proud to be one of the few Black-owned breweries in the country. But we want to help build an industry where that’s no longer a novelty. At MBC, we’re expanding what craft beer has traditionally represented, from our suppliers to the artwork on our beer labels to the team serving up pints to the community of beer lovers.
MBC's mission is born of co-founders Rodney Hines and Todd Herriott's shared passion for great beer and spirited community.
CEO & Co-Founder
Rodney is CEO of Métier Brewing Company. Prior to MBC he was director of social impact for U.S. operations at Starbucks, work that earned him a spot on Fast Company's 100 Most Creative People in Business. He serves on boards for PCC Community Markets, the Seattle Art Museum Community Advisory Council, and the Seattle University Youth Initiative.
Co-Founder
At Métier Racing & Coffee in Capitol Hill, Todd built a one-of-a-kind experience for cyclists at every level: a premium bicycle shop, training space, and community hub. Métier Racing & Coffee and Métier Brewing Company are separate businesses sharing values and, of course, Todd.
As one of the few Black-owned breweries in the country, we know representation matters. That’s why we proudly operate our flagship taproom in the Central District, one of Seattle’s historic Black neighborhoods. At all of our locations we partner with vendors, charities, and artists who share our goal of building a craft beer space where everyone feels welcome.
On the outside, MBC stands for Métier Brewing Company. But in our hearts, our work is animated by a different trio of words: My Beloved Community.
Our locations celebrate our community, our shared history, and our desire to keep dreaming. Visit us at one (or all) of them.
