Meet Mehmet Kadiev, Our Brewmaster
The Hog Haus is pleased to have Mehmet Kadiev as our Brewmaster. Originally from New Jersey, Mehmet's interest in brewing great craft beers started while living in San Diego. With the abundance of brewpubs and microbreweries in and around the area he was determined to become a brewer by profession. He began homebrewing to learn the basic process and working in a liquor store to learn everything he could about all kinds of beers.
Life then took him away from sunny SoCal to NWA where he enjoyed spending time at home brewing while his better half was at work. Needing to finally get a job, he persuaded the Hog Haus owners to hire him as the assistant. Under the tutelage of then brewer, Steve Mazylewski, he quickly learned the art of crafting great ales and lagers. Now behind the controls, he looks to continue brewing great beers that everyone enjoys.
