Almanac. Western Flyer. Fathers. Three breweries, one hour, and everything that never makes it onto the label.
The Business of Beer is this Saturday, 8/15, from 1:00 to 2:00pm at the Matt Rogers Innovation Hub, followed by cold ones at the Summer Wine and Beer Fest.
Nearly every beer lover has at some point entertained the fantasy of making it for a living, which may be why so few of us think of brewing as an industry, with margins to defend, distributors to satisfy, and shelf space to fight over. Learn what the label leaves out: what it actually costs to get a case out the door, why one brand wins the cooler while another waits in the back, and what tends to break first when a brewery tries to scale.
The Panelists:
Kevin Scoles, Chief Revenue Officer, Almanac
Logan Jager, President and Founder, Western Flyer Brewing
Joe Cloyes, Co-Founder and CEO, Fathers Brewing
The panel is free, and there's still room. Save your seat today at saintmarys.biz/beer
