The Riggs Brothers are back to discuss the unique aspects of Riggs Beer Company, including their use of locally-grown grains from their family farm, financial strategies, and their focus on sustainability with solar energy. They highlight the benefits of their location near a major university (University of Illinois) and the importance of keeping their farm and brewery operations financially separate.
