Management Team / Advisory Board Bios
Ben Tilton, Owner & Head Brewer
Ben has extensive history in the craft beer industry, which started with his work in several breweries and pubs. He then transitioned to working as a high end sales representative for Anheuser-Busch, then transitioned to craft sales for Dogfish Head, before starting Tilton Brothers Brewing in 2018. Ben lives in Newmarket, NH with his wife Marina who is a recruiting specialist, an ardent supporter of the brewery and a lover of kettle sours.
Dave Tilton, Owner
Dave latched onto his dad’s appreciation for beer and homebrewing while growing up. The two brewed their first cooperative batch of homebrew a decade ago with much fanfare from family and friends. Encouraged by the results, Dave began brewing and formulating recipes with Ben not long after and the two built and refined their portfolio over the next several years until they met Joe Chase and turned the shared dream of opening a brewery into reality. Dave has developed software for over a decade and currently works on contracts to support the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. He lives in Portsmouth with his fiancé Stephanie and their rabbit Leland.
Joe Chase, Owner
Joe brings the financial expertise to the team, with a background as an entrepreneur and experienced investor. He discovered his passion for investing at an early age. After buying his first mutual fund in high school, Joe opened a brokerage account in college to begin trading stocks. His love for investing grew rapidly, and shortly after college Joe started managing an equity portfolio for a single family office, splitting time between Coral Gables, FL and Newport, RI. While living in Florida, Joe began investing in single family homes in the Jacksonville market, at first flipping homes and later holding houses as rental properties. Joe lives in downtown Portsmouth, NH with his wife and daughter. They enjoy spending time together, ideally being active and outdoors at the beach or in the mountains.
