Damon Arredondo
Head Master Brewer
Damon Arredondo is the visionary mind and Master Brewer behind RIZOMA Brewery, where tradition meets innovation in every pour.
A proud Kansas City native and a graduate of the American Brewers Guild Intensive Brewing Science & Engineering program, Damon honed his skills at acclaimed breweries across the Midwest before co-founding RIZOMA. His brewing philosophy is deeply influenced by his Mexican and German-American heritage, blending ancestral flavors with cutting-edge craft practices to create beers that are as culturally rich as they are refreshingly original.
Whether developing a crisp Mexican-style lager, a complex barrel-aged stout, or a seasonal brew infused with native botanicals, Damon approaches each recipe with the precision of a scientist and the soul of an artist. His collaborative leadership style and passion for community-building have not only shaped RIZOMA’s award-winning beer lineup but also cultivated a loyal following and vibrant taproom culture.
