After taking extension classes on brewing techniques at UC Davis, Moylan became a founding partner in Marin Brewing Company, which opened in April of 1989. Moylan moved his family from San Francisco to Novato in 1989 because he wanted to raise his two children in the city’s small town atmosphere. In 1991 Moylan decided to expand on his brewing ideas. “My adopted home town was the natural choice for Moylan's Brewery & Restaurant” he said.
James started working at Moylan’s in 2000 in the packaging department and soon moved up to assistant brewing before becoming the head brewer in 2004. James has won medals at the Great American Beer Festival for 20-Tank Brewery In San Francisco (now closed) and has also brewed at other bay area landmark brew pubs Bear Republic in Healdsburg and Black Diamond in Walnut Creek. James favorite brew is India Pale Ale and loves making hoppy beers. James is a die hard Raiders fan and Oakland A’s fan and attends as many games as he can.
Jim started with Brendan at Marin Brewing Company in the packaging department and became one of the earliest members of Moylan’s brewing team when Brendan opened in 1995. Jim loves to brew the Moylander Double India Pale Ale and also likes the hoppy beers. Outside of work Jim likes to play Disc Golf and spend his vacation Fly Fishing in Montana.
