Two Perspectives, One Pour (The Kishwaukee Brewing Experience)
Business Over Beer is FINALLY back in a brewery… and this episode was apparently so nice, I had to film it twice. 🍻After falling behind on editing, life chaos, schedules, and me apparently forgetting how calendars work, I’m excited to finally share this special episode featuring Kishwaukee Brewing in Woodstock, Illinois.This episode ended up becoming something unique. I sat down with Cara on one day and Dan on another, giving this conversation two completely different perspectives on the brewery, the beer, the creativity, and the business behind it all. Honestly, it made the episode even better.We talk about:🍺 Brewing philosophy🍺 Building community through craft beer🍺 The story behind Kishwaukee Brewing🍺 Award-winning beers🍺 Running a brewery as a team🍺 Midwest beer culture and why local breweries matterHuge thanks to Dan and Cara for being patient while I crawled out from underneath my editing cave to finally release this one.🎧 Follow Business Over Beer:Instagram: @bizoverbeerpodcastTikTok: @bizoverbeerX: @bizoverbeerFollow Ben:Instagram: @ben_surrattFollow Passages to Success:Instagram: @passagestosuccess🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Bizoverbeerpodcast🌐 Website: www.bizoverbeer.com📧 Contact: bizoverbeer@gmail.comFollow Kishwaukee Brewing:Instagram: @kishwaukeebrewingFacebook: Kishwaukee Brewing Company🌐 https://www.kishwaukeebrewing.com#BusinessOverBeer #KishwaukeeBrewing #CraftBeer #WisconsinBeer #IllinoisBeer #MidwestBreweries #Podcast #BeerPodcast #SmallBusiness #CraftBeerCulture
