- Jeff Cozzens: CEO
Schilling Beer Co. is a modern European-inspired small-batch brewery centered on family, community, and excellence. Founded in 2013 by the Cozzens family and their long-time friend, John Lenzini – Michigan natives who moved to the North Country over 15 years ago – the Schilling name honors the Cozzens’ beloved late grandfather, Dr. R.J. Schilling.
It also reflects the continental European experiences and inspirations foundational to the design of our beers and brewery.
