It’s a family affair for Jeff Stokes, head brewer at Three Magnets Brewing Co. in Olympia. His wife Brittany is the tap room lead at Narrows Brewing in Tacoma. A native of California, Stokes has called Washington home for over 20 years, graduating from The Evergreen State College with a degree in political economics. In college, he and friend Brandon Bock began learning about and experimenting with home brewing. Bock was formerly a brewer at Dick’s Brewing Co. in Centralia and is now a part of the Three Magnets team along with Stokes.
