Amanda Jacobs

Amanda discovered Honor Brewing Company after spotting soldier’s boots on a wine label at her local beer and wine store, and she immediately thought of her son. Amanda’s son, LCPL Christopher Phoenix-Jacob Levy, made the ultimate sacrifice for our country in 2011 at age 21, while serving as a Marine in Afghanistan. After telling Honor’s owner, Allen Cage, her story, he asked Amanda to come work for Honor Brewing Company by reaching out to other grieving military families in hopes of honoring, and sharing the stories of, their fallen loved ones. When Amanda left North Carolina in 2014 to work for Honor, she had no idea how therapeutic and purposeful this job would become for her. While it can be emotional, she is thankful to have met so many Gold Star families across the country who trust her with their most personal and tragic stories, and she has formed bonds with them that will last a lifetime. Nothing makes Amanda happier than seeing smiles on her fellow Gold Star family members’ faces, knowing that Honor Brewing Company is helping to keep their loved ones’ memories alive.
