The Arizona craft beer scene is buzzing over a new addition.

Due to the growth in the industry, the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild has hired its first full-time leader.

Rob Fullmer has been named as the guild’s executive director.

“To represent those guys and help them in any way I can is a tremendous opportunity,” said Fullmer.

Fullmer has plans to expand the guild’s reach, generate more money for the local economy and place Arizona-brewed pints in palms of millions more.

Currently, Arizona-produced beer has a statewide economic impact of more than 300 million dollars annually.
