Some highlights include: * Why Cody Craft never wanted to run a kitchen...and still doesn’t * When to say yes (and when to say no) to distribution offers * The state of change of craft beer and what’s causing a shift toward “beer that tastes like beer” If you’re curious on what it takes to run a brewery in a small(er) market while growing at your own pace, this episode’s filled with stellar insight and grounded advice you’ll actually use!
