Before Cal Coast Beer Co ever poured its first pint, Doug Burkett took possibilities to a whole new level. In this episode, we sit down with the founder and owner of Iron Oaks Winery to talk about what it was like to bet on a vision in 2019, when our space was more of a greased up garage than destination.

Doug shares stories from those early days, the unexpected chaos that came with opening, and how his leap of faith helped shape the culture on the Cal Coast Campus. From behind-the-scenes shenanigans to building two businesses side-by-side, this is a story about community, guts, wine and a whole lot of shenanigans.
