Brandon Venaglia, Flix Brewhouse Albuquerque Head Brewer

Since taking the leap from homebrewing in 2012, Brandon Venaglia has been blessed to work for a number of breweries throughout Northern and Central New Mexico. In 2014 he was offered his first head brewing opportunity, cutting his teeth on a ramshackle 7-barrel brewhouse in nearby Rio Rancho. When the head brewer position opened up at Bathtub Row Brewing in beautiful Los Alamos, New Mexico, Brandon and his family packed up and headed north. After nearly 4 years living and working in the Secret City, he returned to his old stomping grounds on the west side of the Rio Grande, brewing for the now-defunct Toltec Brewing Co. He joined the Flixbrewhouse Family in May of 2022. 

When not hard at work for the thirsty denizens of Bernalillo County, Brandon enjoys exploring the historic sites and vast landscapes on the back roads of the Southwest with his beautiful wife and two crazy kids.

Josh Miller, Flix Brewhouse National Brewery Operations Manager

      Josh started with Flix Carmel in August of 2015 as an assistant brewer. Josh learned about brewing while in an organic chemistry class at Purdue University. This immediately became a hobby of his and he spent the next few years home brewing and learning about brewing while in school and out of school. Following Purdue, while trying to get a brewing job, he worked for a Food and Chemical manufacturing laboratory. When Flix was hiring a new assistant in the fall of '15, they were looking for a brewer with lab experience, and so Josh got the job! Josh was assistant with Flix Carmel until September of 2017, when he went to open a brewery in the town he and his wife were currently living in. During Covid he then went to work with a brewery equipment engineering firm. When he heard Flix Carmel was reopening and looking for a new head brewer, he jumped at the chance! In his spare time, Josh does some serious gardening, raises Chickens, Ducks, and Turkey, and makes wine and cider.
