Introducing Franco, the heart and soul of our Sales & Orders desk and the longest-standing member of the Howe Sound Brewing team. Franco joined us back in 2001, intending it to be a temporary stop—but we’re incredibly grateful he decided to stay. If you know Howe Sound Brewing, you know Franco.
Franco started at the front desk of the Inn, but soon found his way into the brewery, where he discovered his passion for brewing. “I’ve crushed some grapes in my time” he says, reflecting on his journey. His favourite beer to brew was the Pothole Filler Stout, a strong stout that filled the room with rich roasted aromas.
Originally, Franco’s favourite Howe Sound beer was the Best Bitter, a classic English ale known for its smooth balance of hops and malt with a sweet finish. These days you can catch him reaching for a Pilsner Plunge.
What brought Franco to Squamish? The charming, scenic town, conveniently located between the Vancouver and Whistler. Outside of work, you’ll often find him walking his dog along the estuary trails, or out golfing or hiking in the Sea to Sky.
