North Coast Brewing Company Announces Leadership Change

In a significant shift within its corporate structure, North Coast Brewing Company (NCBC) has announced that Vice President of Sales, Chris Hudson, has departed from the company to pursue a new opportunity, effective August 13, 2025.

As part of NCBC's ongoing commitment to invest in its talented team, the company has subsequently promoted Jeffrey Robinson, an experienced member of the sales team, to the position of National Sales Director. Jennifer Owen, the CEO and CFO of NCBC, expressed confidence in the transition, stating, "We’re very fortunate to have such talented individuals within our team. While we’ll miss Chris Hudson, we’re thrilled to see Jeff Robinson step into this new role to help guide our next phase of growth.”

Robinson, who has been an integral part of NCBC’s sales team for over ten years, will now oversee all management responsibilities related to wholesale sales activities. He expressed enthusiasm about his new role and the opportunity to lead his colleagues with whom he has built strong relationships.

"As I step into this new role, I am incredibly honored to lead the very team I’ve had the privilege of growing alongside," Robinson stated. He further emphasized the excitement of building upon the existing foundation of teamwork, acknowledging the passion and dedication that drives their collective success.

Jeffrey Robinson brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record in driving sales and fostering relationships within the craft beer and beverage industries. His previous role as a senior sales manager involved managing distributor partnerships and enhancing the company's brand presence through strategic promotions. Under his leadership, NCBC expects to identify and capitalize on new growth opportunities.

Robinson graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of San Diego. Outside of work, he is a dedicated father to three active children and actively contributes to his community through coaching youth sports. An avid beer enthusiast, he enjoys classic West Coast IPAs, particularly the citrus-centric flavors of the Pacific Magic IPA, especially on warm sunny days.

Founded in 1988 and recognized as a certified B Corporation, NCBC is devoted to crafting an exceptional range of award-winning beers, including favorites like Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout and Scrimshaw.
