ABOUT
Growing up in the Santa Ynez Valley, Jaime Dietenhofer was surrounded by wine—so it was a bit of a surprise when he discovered his passion for craft beer and dream to open a family brewery. A year abroad in Austria during college fed his dedication, but his father, Jim, said he need to continue his education. Jaime graduated with a Masters in Environmental Studies from UCSB Bren School. Soon after, he co-founded the startup Garage Envy and sold it in 2014. Meanwhile, his passion for craft beer never subsided, and he concurrently worked on starting Figueroa Mountain Brewing Company with his father. In 2010, his dream finally came true with a production brewery opening in Buellton, California. Since then, he and the Fig Fam operate six taprooms and a production brewery that provides craft beer throughout the state.
