ZYTHUM
My name is Lucas Rose, and I have been working in the brewing and hospitality industries for nearly a decade. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Fermentation Science from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, have brewed professionally at several breweries throughout Southern Illinois and opened a restaurant on the Carbondale strip in 2024.
My experience spans brewing operations, cellar management, draft system maintenance, beer quality, and hospitality. I hold a Certified Beer Server credential through the Cicerone® program and a Food Service Sanitation Manager certification. Advanced draft system training through Micro Matic's Advanced Draft Training Program scheduled for July 2026.
Having lived and worked in the Carbondale area since 2015, I understand the unique needs of local breweries, restaurants, bars, and taprooms. Zythum Brewing Services was founded to provide professional draft system maintenance, brewery support, and technical consultation with a practical, quality-focused approach.
Whether it's maintaining a draft system, troubleshooting beer quality issues, supporting a brew day, or improving brewery operations, my goal is simple: help clients serve better beer and operate more efficiently.
