George Thornton is the co-founder of The Homebrewer, a supply store and resource center for homebrewers (2012), and Home Brewing Co. (2014), a craft brewery and tasting room in the beer centric neighborhood of North Park, San Diego.

He has a Bachelor of Arts in History from UCSD and a Master of Arts in History from SDSU. George began brewing beer as a hobby at the age of 19, at the behest of his older sister, who was growing tired of George's increasingly specific beer-buying requests. The path from hobby to career began in grad school, while working at a local homebrew supply store. George combined his passion for learning with his love of teaching to create a homebrew store that emphasized excellent customer service, and extensive resources and classes for continuing education.

George is currently instructor for the SDSU Business of Craft Beer Certificate Program, a Certified Cicerone and a Certified Beer Judge.
