Cleveland Native Appointed U.S. CEO of British Homebrew Company

Paul Benner, a co-founder of Platform Beer Co. in Cleveland, Ohio, has been appointed the U.S. chief executive officer of Pinter, a British company specializing in home beer-making devices. Benner, who has been integral to the local beer scene, now takes on the responsibility of overseeing Pinter’s expansion in the U.S. market.

Pinter, established in the United Kingdom in 2020, introduced its products to the American market last year. The company’s unique approach allows home enthusiasts to brew beer using easy-to-use equipment, which has garnered attention since its debut.

Benner’s new role marks a significant step for the company as they aim to increase their footprint in the United States. “We are thrilled to have Paul lead our U.S. operations,” a spokesperson for Pinter said. “His experience in the industry and connections within the craft beer community will be invaluable as we grow our presence here.”

The decision to appoint a local industry veteran underscores Pinter’s commitment to understanding the American beer landscape. It also highlights the growing interest in home brewing, a trend that has been gaining momentum among craft beer enthusiasts.

The expansion of Pinter’s operations is part of a broader strategy to tap into new markets and appeal to a diverse range of beer aficionados. As Benner takes the helm, the company is poised to leverage his expertise and ongoing interest in homebrewing.
