Jeremiah Marsden, affectionately known as Jerry, is an entrepreneur and chemist with a PhD from the University of Oregon. After nearly two decades at Cascade Chemistry, where he climbed the ranks from researcher to president and owner, Jerry sold the business with an eye toward an early retirement filled with small projects and relaxation, but his entrepreneurial spirit and longtime homebrewing hobby soon drew him back into the business world, where he saw a perfect opportunity to lead Claim 52 Brewing. Day-to-day, he sets the business’s strategic direction and ensures the brewery’s operations run smoothly. He also enjoys helping with quality control at the brewery, frequently sampling new brews to ensure they meet our standards.

Jerry’s favorite beers include complex Belgian ales, easy-drinking IPAs, and rich, boozy barrel-aged stouts. A craftsman at heart, he enjoys woodworking in his spare time and personally crafted our tasting trays. We’re sure you’ll find more of his work as unique features around the bar soon.
