Mike Detar is a creative motherfucker. 

Whatever he did in whichever career in which he did it, he was going to throw passion, fire and grit everywhere he went. Like many of us who are slaves to our creativity, he worked with a mix of attention to detail and a ‘grip it and rip it’ philosophy that took him right to the edge of innovation. 

When he opened his brewery in Washington State, he quickly found out that he was going to need every one of his unique talents to fight for profitability. Against rising expenses, city permitting, distribution, the beer drinkers in his local market, liquor laws, his partners. And, of course, a worldwide pandemic. 

For part of his story he lost his money, his brewery, his friend and even his wife.

But now he’s on to the next chapter and while not sure where the path leads, he knows he’s got the experience and tenacity to walk it with confidence. 

Sit back and listen to the story of the rise and fall of Spokane Washington’s Hidden Mother Brewery.
