Brewer
Guillaume Daigle grew up in Pointe-Sapin, New Brunswick, and after graduating high school, he obtained a Bachelor of Pharmacy Degree at the Université de Laval. It was around this time that he was introduced to home brewing by his brother and quickly developed a passion for it. After purchasing his own brewing equipment and making a few different beer kits, Guillaume started doing in-depth research into the process of beer making and realized how limitless it can be. Brewing allowed him to combine his talents for science, creativity and manual labour. He decided to pursue a career in brewing and, in 2017, he obtained a Graduate Certificate in Brewing Science at Bishop’s University. Shortly after graduating, he was hired by Bore City Brewing where he worked as the Head Brewer until joining CAVOK Brewing in early 2019.

Taproom Manager

Annie is originally from Paquetville. Spouse of Serge Basque, co-owner of Cavok, her feminine touch makes her the perfect addition to the enormous success of the microbrewery.

Before immersing herself in the beer industry, she completed a bachelor’s degree in Nutrition from the University of Moncton. She then dabbled in a few jobs related to her sector of education. Later on, she receives the most important job offer of her career, that of a stay-at-home mom. Even the most determined of moms cannot slow down time and when Thierry and Guillaume reached the ages where her services where less and less retained, Annie returned to the workforce as an educational assistant with the “District scolaire francophone Sud”

In September 2019, Annie joins the Cavok team as taproom manager. Full of energy and ambition, she wears multiple hats such as employee manager, inventory and purchasing manager as well as responsible of accounting. The impact of female consumers has grown in importance in the craft beer industry and at Cavok, Annie is ensuring it’s continuous evolution.
