Schenker Beer Company


Hello!

My name is Joey Pepper-Mellusi and I am the founder/brewer of the Schenker Beer Company.

For those who don't know me, here's some background on my journey and how Schenker came to be. I started my career in the craft beer industry in 2011 working as a barback at @theponybarnyc. In my spare time, I began homebrewing, focusing primarily on fruity mixed-fermentation beers. Eventually, in 2013, I moved to @torst_nyc, where I was proud to help build one of the best beer programs in the world. While at Tørst, I also helped curate the beer pairings for our tasting menu restaurant, Luksus, which became the first beer restaurant in the world to be awarded a Michelin star. Although I loved my time in hospitality, I knew my passion lay more in brewing. In 2016, I left Tørst to dedicate myself fully to brewing at Folksbier in Brooklyn, where I served as head brewer from 2017 until its closure. During this time, I was able to refine my brewing skills, develop my own recipes, and supply the greater New York City area with beers that I love.
