There is no handbook to opening a
brew supply store; no guides, no advice to seek out or business
plans already generated. Welcome to an episode discussing How to
Start Up a Home Brew Supply Shop with our
guest BOB “my
bud” Marske from 815 Gardens and Brewing. We get into the ins and
outs, peaks and valleys, and rabbit holes of putting together a
home brewing supply offering, including determining your
demographics, suppliers, influences and clientele. It's all about
word-of-mouth to get it going and find out what your customers
really want, like tapping into the local home brew club, holding
tastings and brew days and networking the community!
Tis the season for Christmas Beers as we review a nice current and accessible list from 52brews.com thatincludes a wide variety of spiced up winter and dark treats for your holiday celebration. We also do some tastings from Pig Minds Brewing "The Jude Abides" Milk Shake IPA (Yum), Begyle Brewing Imperial Pajamas Stout barrel-aged with coffee (dreaminess!), Struise Pannepeut (Belgium) Old Monk Ale (2011) and Brent's home brew beauty Whiskey Stout (a night cap utopia for all your bourbon freaks).
We'd be reminisced to adjourn without thanking our gracious sponsors for all of their support this year and want to remind you to check out both Pig Minds Brewing and Artale & Co. for all of holiday drinking needs. They have a plethora of new and exclusive holiday beers, wines and spirits to brighten up your holiday celebration...#drinkitup
