Jordan Bass had lost his "drinking buddy". His wife was expecting their first child and it was a little awkward for him to down a few double IPA's on the couch while his lovely bride was abstaining.

Necessity being the mother of invention, as they say, he and his co-founder did something about it and made a beer with benefits! Using his background in eCommerce, HOP WTR was born. In this episode, we crack open his playbook and learn how he did it.
