Sandy Hugill
President ✉
Sandy joined SODZ in 2020 when meetings were conducted virtually. She credits her experience with the club as instrumental in her career change into the craft beer community. A Certified Cicerone® and a BJCP Certified Beer, Cider, and Mead judge, Sandy has judged both homebrew and commercial competitions in the US and Canada. Her industry resume includes Great Lakes Brewing Co, Pretentious Barrel House, Thunderwing Brewing, Untappd/Next Glass, and her current role at Hoster Brewing. Sandy previously served as the SODZ Vice President. She appreciates all beer styles, but has a special place in her heart for English Barleywine.
Jeremy Eberle
Vice President ✉
Jeremy joined SODZ in 2023 and is new to the SODZ board. He started homebrewing in 2013 while in graduate school and finally found a home within the SODZ community. Jeremy is passionate about sharing his love of the homebrewing hobby. You can check out his blog, Brew the Looking Glass. His favorite styles to drink and brew are German Lagers, particularly Munich Helles, or his Irish Red Ale, St. Brigid’s Feast.
Bill Koeppen
Secretary ✉
Bill attended his first SODZ meeting in 2022 and has been a proud member ever since. Bill is a recognized BJCP judge and a very active homebrewer – brewing at least 20 times each year. His home brewery is called “Kontrarian” with Kölsch, Saison, and big stouts being his favorite styles to brew. Bill credits SODZ with taking his home brewing to the next level. And indeed, he was our 2023 Brewer of the Year.
Jessica Clark Royster
Treasurer ✉
Kelly Woods
Membership Director ✉
Kelly started her brewing journey on a gas stove around 2009. She is passionate about beer, spacecraft, science fiction, fish, rocks, and the Oxford comma. She was lucky to find SODZ, as her husband and most of her friends don’t like beer. The sarcasm is strong with this one. In addition to Kelly’s current board position, she serves as the Judge Coordinator for British Beerfest and Beer for Boobs.
