  • BJCP Welcomes New Assistant Finance Director
  • BJCP Welcomes New Assistant Finance Director

    August 29, 2025

    The BJCP Board is happy to announce that Gordon Mauger has joined our financial team as Assistant Finance Director. He’ll be working alongside Finance Director Al Boyce and Treasurer Brian Cooper to help keep our organization’s finances running smoothly.

    Gordon, based in California, has a long background in IT and nonprofit finance, including treasurer roles with swim clubs, homebrew clubs, and competitions. He’s helped modernize financial systems, manage budgets, and guide organizations through projects and transitions with a steady hand.

    On the beer side, Gordon is a Certified judge with over 100 BJCP points—most earned through judging. He’s been homebrewing since the late 1990s, has multiple NHC medals, and co-organizes the California Homebrew Competition, the largest in the state. His combination of brewing passion and financial know-how makes him a great addition to the BJCP team.
