Hittle”™s own road in life took a detour on the road less traveled when after earning a college degree, he decided that working on an offshore drilling ship in Southeast Asia would be a better way to launch his future life. Later he earned his MBA degree at Kellogg and then spent time in the corporate world at Johnson & Johnson and Unilever. But he quickly learned that beer was a lot more fun and interesting. Hittle”™s career in beer most recently included being the chief marketing officer at the Pabst Brewing Co. until 2010 where he led the success of brands like PBR, Lone Star and Primo, among others. Prior to that, he worked on marketing for Rolling Rock.
