Location. Location. Location. It’s so important that we say it three times. When you’re thinking about starting your small brewery, moving to a new location, or re-doing your space there is a lot to consider. 

We have two guests this month with unique perspectives on brewery locations.

First up is Dustin Hauck of Hauck Architecture in San Diego. He has advice on layout and look, and how to best make your brewery space a welcoming location for both customers and employees. 

Then we’re off to Minnesota to talk with Scott Stroh, the co-founder and brewer of Chaotic Good Brewing, a specialized nano that opened up a few years ago in a shed in Stroh’s backyard. From the pros and cons, to his Frankenstein system, to future plans, it’s a brewer’s profile you won’t want to miss.
