How NOT To Start A Damn Brewery: the podcast

St Somewhere Brewing - Bob Sylvester


Listen Later

I’d like to introduce you to Bob Sylvester, founder, brewer and all-around badass from South Florida’s Brasserie St. Somewhere.

Bob started brewing back in the early days of this last craft beer explosion. You know, back in 2008 when owning a brewery was still counterculture, hip and a bit radical. He managed to create a unique and interesting lineup of beers that garnered him international acclaim and a loyal fanbase of like-minded craft beer drinkers. He grew from meager beginnings into a beautifully imagined brewery with a separate tasting room and every reason to expect growth and success.

And then, just a few years ago, he watched it all crash down around him. First his tasting room and then his worldwide distribution footprint. After trying to hold on, refocus and refinance the business he finally realized it was beyond saving.

Today we’re going to autopsy Bob’s brewery, Brasserie St. Somewhere, to find out what happened and what you can do differently in your own career.
