Christian Ettinger has dedicated half his life to the time-honored tradition of brewing beer. Christian and Brandie started Hopworks Urban Brewery (HUB) in 2007 with the goal of producing world-class beer as sustainably as possible. HUB uses organic ingredients and renewable power to make 10,000 barrels of beer per year for their two restaurants and distribution throughout the Pacific Northwest. First Republic supports Hopworks Urban Brewery on the business side, and also serves as Christian and Brandie’s personal bank.
