Keith Villa, Ph. D., is a trailblazer in the rapidly growing field of non-alcoholic cannabis-infused beers as the brewmaster and co-founder of CERIA Brewing Co., based in Arvada, Colorado. He will share the techniques he used as creator of Colorado’s first THC-infused, non-alcoholic craft beer at the Cannabis Drinks Expo.

Dr. Villa began his decades-long brewing career as founder and head brewmaster of Blue Moon Brewing Company, an operating unit of MillerCoors, where he retired after 32 years.

In 2018, he and his co-founder and wife, Jodi Villa, launched CERIA Grainwave, a non-alcoholic (NA) Belgian White Ale infused with 5 mg of THC. Shortly afterward, the company introduced Indiewave IPA containing 10 mg of THC and 10 mg of CBD. Currently available in about 100 Colorado dispensaries, both infused craft beers will launch in California dispensaries this year.
