That may have been the moment that solidified the future of Oregon’s Flat Tail Brewery. 

But the story of success, failure, embezzlement, money laundering and rebirth on the timeline of Dave Marliave’s craft beer career has so much more to teach us. 

So I sat down with Dave to discuss what he’s felt, what he’s learned and how you can protect yourself from thieving partners and monopolistic distributors. 

While the public demise of Flat Tail still swings in the breeze as one of craft beer’s bloodiest white collar true crime cases, the rise of New Spring and Dave’s impressive technical achievements are an inspiring look at how we can all make this industry better. 

And here is the story of Dave Marliave, the late Flat Tail Brewing and the new New Spring Brewing.
