THE FACES BEHIND THE BEER

Donnie was brought to the Wilmington area from Cary, NC, after joining the Marines and being stationed out of Camp Lejeune. He met Brookes Musser in 2013 and their love for each other, and craft beer, brought them to where they are today. Donnie and Brookes joined the family business and eventually opened Bill’s Brewing in 2016. Donnie oversees day to day operations in brewing, packaging, sales, and distribution. When he’s not working, he enjoys watching NC State athletics, holding his breath for the Dallas Cowboys to win another Superbowl, or playing with his sons.

Born in Germany, Travis moved all over with his family, who was in the military. He enlisted and trained as a paratrooper, until choosing to leave the military to focus on being the raddest Dad and dedicated husband to his family. He joined the Bill's team in 2021 and hasn't stopped running circles around everyone since. In his free time, he enjoys disc golf, mastering the air guitar, and spreading an abundance of love to those around him. Talk about a great person to work with, this is the guy!

Callan was born in Selma, Alabama, but spent most of her life in Wilmington. She has worked in the craft beer scene for many years, including managing two bottle shops and working for a large beer and wine distributor. However, her heart led her to Bill’s, in hopes of growing the brand and being a voice in the Wilmington beer scene. Speaking of voice, Callan is the lead singer of Dirty White Rags and Starlight Speedway! When she’s not working, you can catch her singing with her bands, writing music or loving on her animals.

Nolan hails from Pinehurst, North Carolina—though, surprisingly, he’s not a golfer! Instead, he was a collegiate swimmer before making the move to Wilmington in July 2023. His passion for craft beer began while working at Southern Pines Growler, which ultimately led him to discover Capt’n Bill’s and Bill’s Brewing. As a sales rep for Bill’s Brewing, Nolan is dedicated to sharing great beer with the community. When he’s not working, he’s often still at Capt’n Bill’s playing volleyball or enjoying time by the ocean—whether it’s a summer swim or a winter cold plunge. And if you don’t catch him out in the field, you might just find him behind the bar at Capt’n Bill’s, pouring your favorite drink!

Harrison has been in the brewing industry going on 8 years. Originally from Wendell, NC, he moved to our coastal community and has developed roots. When he’s not busy in the brewery, you can catch him grilling, fishing, or playing with his boys. He thinks people who brew are crazy, but it doesn’t stop him from joining in on the party.

Matt joined the original Bill’s team back in 2016 as part of the kitchen crew. His culinary skills eventually brought him into the brewery where he enjoys getting creative with recipes. Originally from New Jersey, he is an avid music lover and plays the drums in his down time.

Originally from Leeds, England, he brings a wealth of experience from Bad Co Brewing and Meanwood Brewery. A dedicated Leeds United fan, Craig has already found his go-to Bill’s beer—Bill’s Lite—perfect for enjoying on his dock while watching boats drift along the Intracoastal.
