Phil Kuhl is moving into the distribution side of our industry, as he helps develop Wirtz’s Illinois Craft Beer Division in his new role as Craft Beer Specialist. This is an outstanding opportunity for Phil and one he has certainly earned through years of hard work, as well as no small amount of beer drinking.

Fountainhead would like to thank Phil for the many hours of hard work, effort, kegs on toes, hours in cooler, God knows how many trips up & down the stairs, absurdly awesome & unique events, and his refusal to accept mediocrity in regards to Fountainhead and our beer program. While we will greatly miss having Phil on the Fountainhead team, we could not be more proud of him & we wish him nothing but the best in his next adventure.

Phil’s last day will be Dec. 11th, and to make sure he goes out in proper style, we will be hosting a special event in his honor:
