Greg Hall and Sascha Ingram

Teaches at Murray's Cheese

Founder, The Hungry Brewer: Greg is no wall flower in the world of beer. He has a bold reputation for being a beer visionary with a deep understanding of food culture as well as craft beer. Greg began his storied brewing career in 1988, at the Goose Island Brewpub in Chicago, where he introduced both food and beer innovations for 20 years. He graduated from the Siebel Institute, but never stopped being an aggressive, rule-breaking student of brewing, learning beer insights from around the globe. He holds claim to many award-winning beers, including a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival and a gold medal at the World Beer Cup. Education and Events Coordinator: Sascha Ingram just can't stop talking about cheese. After studying English and working in education, Sascha followed her nose (and her tastebuds!) to Forward Foods, a cheese and specialty foods shop in her native Oklahoma, where she spent the next few years turning on her fellow Okies to the wonders of Epoisses and Uplands Cheese Company Pleasant Ridge Reserve. After she had nearly memorized The Murray's Cheese Handbook, she tried her hand at the Murray's counter, eventually finding her way into the classroom, where you might catch her introducing the basics in Cheese 101, waxing poetic on the origins of cheese in Cheese U Boot Camp, or leading you through the ins and outs of affinage in Mystery of the Caves.
