My Interview with 56 Brewing
I had a wonderful chat with Micah Godfrey (Co-Owner) and Zak Granata (Head Brewer) at 56 Brewing back in August. They invited me into their taproom and we recorded an interview that spanned the continuum of topics from the beers and THC drinks they brew to how they have moved on from an awful member of their ownership team after a racist incident that came to light in 2020.
I have always enjoyed the beers that I have had from 56 Brewing. I was happy to finally sit down and hear more about their story. Micah and Zak were gracious with their time and honest with their words. I hope that you enjoy hearing their story. Cheers!
A Conversation About Sobriety in the Craft Beer Industry – A One Pint Stand
I sit down with Kabel Lefto (Head Brewer at Wabasha Brewing) and Nate Schneider (Vice President of Invictus Brewing & Co-Owner of Trove Brewing) at Arbeiter Brewing to talk about how working in close proximity to alcohol can be challenging for the wellness of people in the craft beverage industry. We talk about taking a break from alcohol or becoming sober altogether. The conversation is enlightening because of Kabel and Nate's extensive experiences in and around the Minnesota craft beer industry. The industry has a responsibility in making the community that we all love and cherish a place for everyone, including those who are choosing a lifestyle that does not include alcohol. This is the first of many conversation we will be having on this podcast about wellness and shining a brighter light on the importance of mental health in the craft beverage industry. I hope you find the conversation thought-provoking. Cheers!
