On this week’s show I talk to Sam Howard, the wandering brewer.

We follow his journey from Connecticut to Vermont off to Hawaii over to Berlin, and, at last, to a Monastery in Bavaria. If your dream is to travel the world and drink great beer, Sam’s story will be incredibly inspiring.

We cover everything from brewing in a Hawaiian valley that has no power or running water to the impact of the Reinheitsgebot on brewpubs in Berlin.

On this week’s show I talk to Stuart Timmons from Farrell Distributing.

We have a great chat about what a distributor is looking for in a brand and, also, what a brewery should look for in a distributor.

We then discuss the all-important question of how a brewery knows when it’s time to look for help in distribution.

On this week’s show I talk to David Dolgninow, one of the co-founders of Shacksbury Cider in Vergennes, VT.

David is an absolute wealth of knowledge.We chat about the history of the cider industry and how things have changed in the last decade.

We also take a deep dive into what it’s been like to start a cidery with a partner and what it’s been like to include contract canning in their business plan.
