Marty Velas

MASTER BREWER / OWNER

Marty is the heart and soul of our humble operation. He has held brewmaster positions all over the world and has now set his roots in the East Tennessee craft beer community by creating Fanatic Brewing Company. Marty brews world-class, drinkable beer, is always up for a good laugh, and by far has the best moves on the team.

ASSISTANT BREWMASTER

Kyle is Marty's right-hand man and has proven to be an incredible asset not only to the brewery but also to our Fanatic family. He has earned a degree in Engineering, and the ingenuity and innovation he brings improves our operations daily. Kyle also manages our sales and delivery systems. He is wonderful to work with and great with customers when he puts on his "beerista" hat in our Fanbase pub.
