LEWISTON — Luke Livingston, the 27-year-old CEO and founder of Lewiston’s Baxter Brewing Company, has been named one of Forbes magazine’s 30 under 30 in the food and wine category.
Inclusion on the list marks the editors’ confidence that Livingston will be “shaping American consumption for decades to come,” they wrote.
Livingston founded Baxter Brewery one year ago out of the Bates Mill complex. The brewery set itself apart from most craft beers by distributing its product in cans instead of glass bottles.
The list was chosen in a four-step process. First, individuals were nominated from an online form on Forbes’ website. Next, Forbes’ editors sought candidates across their networks. Background was compiled on 50 semi-finalists, and from that list, nominees were narrowed down.
