Cindy the Ciclops
Co-Owner, Matriarch,
The best employee we have ever had to fire by cake. She's a mom of two, an incredible school teacher, and the strongest woman we know. Ciclops gets its name from Cindy. Don't look at her directly... she is self-conscious of her glass eye.
Kolby G
Late Owner, Legacy Brewer,
Kolby Garrison is the very reason we are here today, brewing in Spartanburg. It is from his legacy that we will continue the vision of Ciclops Cyderi & Brewery for many years to come. Raise a glass for Kolby! We miss you dearly.
& Best Employee Ever

Jim Huber
Bar and Booking Manager,
Originally from New England by way of Florida, this kitten-juggling, motorcycle-riding, 4-inch-black-stiletto-wearing thespian loved our IPAs so much he decided he may as well just work here. He'd love to talk to you about having an event here.
Darin Burket
Darin was spending so much time here Donna told him to find a way to get paid for it. So... he brews, he cleans, he pours, and he still finds time to grace a bar seat and drink a few. That is dedication to a craft.
Head Brewer, Damn Yankee,
Jill Edwards
Married a Damn Yankee
A Spartanburg native and Wofford graduate, Jill wears many hats, including this one.
She also enjoys her role as semi-official
taste-tester for Ciclops' latest creations.
She welcomes your feedback and ideas!
Holden McGinnis
Kitchen and Bar Supervisor,
A Gaffney native, Holden did his food learnin' at Johnson & Wales, Charlotte. He loves to scare coworkers and will periodically yell "Tequila!" for no reason. Ask him to talk Gaffney for you!
