You may not have heard of Kevin Abbott. But you’re not likely to forget him.

He’s a guy who’s brewed at three different breweries.

He was at Funky Buddha before the fairy tale exit that happened in 2017. He was the brewer back when they had a 1 BBL system in 2010, he was there for the 30BBL expansion in 2014 but he was safely gone when they sold for 80 million 4 years later.

He was at Due South during their formative years. Due South closed their tasting room a few months ago.

Then he worked his way from sweat equity brewer at Barrel of Monks Brewing to Partner & Operations Manager. He’s distributed nationally, then internationally. He started with traditional cork and cage and now is playing the fucking can game. He merged with another brewery.

The reason we needed to talk with Kevin is that Kevin knows some things. His insights should inform your plans and educate your opinions of what’s to come in this industry.

And he’s a Hell of a lot of fun to interview.
