Kyle Matlock: Wholesale Beer Salesperson

If you are looking to purchase wholesale beer from Prairie Dog Brewing, chances are that it will be Kyle who you work with first and foremost. Kyle makes most of our in-person visits at Calgary-area liquor establishments, facilitates beer tastings, and runs a lot of our deliveries, too. Kyle has tons of bar industry experience, so he knows what it’s like to be on both sides of the deal. When he’s not busy serving our wholesale beer customers, Kyle is happy sliding down glaciers, couloirs and any other bit of snow he can find on his snowboard, 12 months of the year, or hiking in the rockies.

Kyle is your direct conduit into Prairie Dog Brewing for anything related to volume/wholesale beer sales. The best way to reach Kyle is to email sales@prairiedog.beer or to call our sales hotline at (403) 589-4762.

Curtis Grieb: Head Brewer

Curtis has been working as a brewer with Prairie Dog Brewing since the very early days of the business (including some homebrew batches prior to us finding a location!), and today he runs the day to day operations of our brewery, including brewing most of the beer that we make available on draft, in cans, or in bottles. Curtis manages our brew team, barrel aging program, brewery cellar and production schedule. Curtis is the creative genius behind many of our recipes and is happy to come out to talk beer, give a tasting, or even to run the occasional beer delivery when our sales team needs help.

Greg Loudon: Brewery Sales Manager

Greg has been with Prairie Dog Brewing since 2019, starting in our Front of House and gradually transitioning to the brewery side of our business. Today Greg is a recognized BJCP Beer Judge and Certified Cicerone and he works in conjunction with Curtis, above, to manage Prairie Dog Brewing’s inventory of finished beer, which is split up across Liquor Connect and our own warehouse. Greg also manages our sales team and initiatives as well as our EKOS Order Hub, so if you place a self-service order there, it will be Greg that receives the order, invoices you, and ensures it is paid for, picked and delivered.

Greg also manages our lineup of beer products and SKU registrations, such as setting pricing for the various products and available formats and ensuring that all our systems for both direct and Liquor Connect-based sales are consistently giving the same price for those products.
