We're kicking off 2025 with Phil Humphrey, Founder of 608 Brewing Company in La Crosse, WI. From launching a lean startup in 2018 to opening a second suburban taproom in 2023 (that is outperforming their original location 20%-40%!), Phil shares his story of determination, creativity, and pushing boundaries in craft beer.

Some highlights include:

• How Phil got 608 Brewing off the ground with a budget under $500k (!)
• The operation behind brewing 400+ unique beers in six years while trying to stay ahead of industry trends
• An inside look at 608’s thriving suburban taproom and their bold leap into hemp-derived THC beverages

Phil’s journey shows that combining the charm of a suburban pub with bold vision, creative recipes, and a knack for adapting can transform a lean startup into a thriving craft beer success story. We hope that you enjoy this episode and we look forward to bringing you more True Craft in 2025!
