The best brewery experience.
The best people!
Mark Lelwica
President/Bad Cop
Since I am the author of this page, I get to say whatever I want about myself. Born and raised down the tracks in Staples, MN, I have worn many hats in life. The greatest of all being a husband and a dad. It’s always been a passion of mine to create something, other than 3 children and household chaos with my forgetfulness and frequent tirades on how our house is such a mess. Anyway, Roundhouse has become another family to me. They are, hands down, the greatest people to work with.
Lori Berg
Server (BEER 101 certified)
Lori is a server here at Roundhouse when she’s not working at Mid MN CU. If you are a Metallica fan, she grew up next door t0 former bassist, Jason Newsted. Maybe that explains all the tattoos? She’s knowledgeable about beer and willing to work hard at serving you the best beer in the world!
Dan Meyer
CFO/Pretty Face/Good Cop
Why does Dan get the title Good Cop? Because that’s his nature. You can’t have a conversation with Dan and not laugh. Impossible! Dan brings years of business experience to the table, as well as great fun and inspiration. Also from Staples, Dan works tirelessly (well, almost) to keep this train on the right track. It’s a business after all, but it should be fun. Dan keeps our priorities straight. Without him, this train takes another track.
Tim Tungseth
Server/coach
Tim is a coach as well as a server. He wears several hats, and most of them backwards. Tim will greet you with a smile and not only make sure you get the right beer, but also help you get a bullseye in the Wreck Room.
Michael Peteresen
Head Chef
Michael puts the yum in yummy! He’s responsible for our Kitchen, menu and catered events for the Union Station. He brings a ton of kitchen experience and expertise to our kitchen. Unfortunately, he’s the reason our waistlines are expanding.
Caren Greimann
Coach
Caren is a coach in the Wreck Room. It’s her job to make sure you have a great experience, and hopefully, get a bullseye! Let’s just say that if you don’t, it’s not because of her:)
Jessica Bleichner
Head Brewer
Jessica, or Jess as she’s known around here, is the kind of person you just can’t help but look up to. OK, so we joke a little that she’s not super tall, and that she has her own personal “step-stool” she uses for certain projects, but her presence leaves you amazed at her knowledge and work ethic and passion for great beer. Jess has been a part of the Roundhouse team for years now in a variety of capacities, including brewing, so she’s no stranger to it. She has only recently stepped up to fill the big shoes of her predecessor, Chuck.
We look forward to her ideas and creations in the brewhouse that are sure to tickle our tastebuds and still carry on the Roundhouse tradition of amazing quality brews. Lets Go Jess!
Curt Naylor
Server
Curt is a retired teacher, but his teaching days arent over. He is a great story rteller and he really knows beer. But his real asset, is that he loves people. He will strike up a conversation and make you feel right at home, no matter where you come from.
