Shawn McElhiney is a co-founder of Legally Brewed in Norman, OK which opened in April of 2023.  Shawn is currently a Field Designer for an electrical cooperative in Norman, but you can also find him pouring beer and spinning records during weeknights and weekends at Legally Brewed.  Shawn started homebrewing with friends in 2017, which eventually led to sharing that love and finished product with family and friends.  From then on craft beer has been life.  To Shawn craft beer is a communal experience.  Sharing a craft beer after a mountain bike ride, a disc golf round or after an epic fishing trip is what life should be about.  It’s not just about the beverage, it’s about bringing people together, sharing stories of the day, the days before and the days to come.  Shawn believes craft beer is a bridge creating those special snapshots in time. When he’s not working, he loves to cook, take long bike rides with his wife Megan, and take their dog Mila to play disc golf.  Get a craft beer and get outside!

As Art Director & President, Lisa Cabin Boy’s in-house designer, heads up marketing, social media, helps coordinates events, part-time HR, and works on the company’s big picture. As a painter, illustrator, and full-time dreamer, Lisa tries to spend a couple days a week creating art in her studio. Usually, it’s for the latest beer label, but occasionally it’s for a personal project! Her work is pluralistic, often combining abstract elements with figurative imagery. When she’s not consumed by the possibilities of lines, colors, and shapes, she is more than happy to talk your ear off over a good beer.

Lisa received her bachelor’s in fine arts from Oklahoma Christian University in Edmond, OK in 2011. Since then, Lisa has worked, lived, and shown art in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, OK; Chicago, IL; Mito, Japan; and Munich, Germany. She has served on the Brewer’s Association HR Committee since 2022 and is honored to be serving on the Oklahoma Craft Brewer’s Association board in 2023. When she’s not working, she enjoys travel, yoga, hiking, cooking, and beer tasting.
