Steph Berman
Taproom Manager
Born and raised in New England, Steph joined the DBC team after working for her family business for 15 years but found her true passion and calling in hospitality.
Steph’s take on taprooms and the hospitality industry?: “I love the unpredictability of each day. Things can change by the minute, so you always have to think and move quickly. I also love getting to meet such a wide variety of people. If you take the time to engage with guests, you can really learn so much about them and create an experience that makes them want to keep coming back. I strive to have every guest that walks into this place feel that way.”
