On this episode of A One Pint Stand, I visit Unmapped Brewing in Minnetonka, Minnesota to chat with Co-Owner Derek Allmendinger and Director of Sales Harry Leadbetter.  We talk about Derek’s transition from Head Brewer to Co-Owner, how the landscape in craft beer continues to change and what that means for both taproom and distribution sales.  After listening, there will be no question about why the local community surrounding Unmapped Brewing loves and supports them so fiercely.  We also toast Falling Knife Brewing’s Tom Berg, a magnificent human who left us far too soon and has left an unfillable void in the craft beer community.

On this episode, I visit Shakopee Brewhall in Shakopee, Minnesota, to chat with Ben Salyards (head brewer) and Maddie Sullwold (Event and Marketing Manager).  I had a great time chatting about how Maddie thoughtfully puts together dynamic programming to create a third space for the Shakopee locals.  Ben, being a veteran of the Minnesota craft beer industry, is always great to chat with because of his thoughtful and measured perspective on all things craft beer.
