Podcasts about craft beer industry

This Day in Maine for Friday, February 14, 2025.

Brewery openings around the country slowed in 2024. We had a conversation with Kelly Dudeck, executive director of the Brewers Association of Maryland, to see how the craft beer industry is doing.

With the recent announcement of 25% tariffs on Canadian goods in the USA by President Trump, and the subsequent retaliatory tariffs on American goods in Canada by Prime Minster Trudeau, the craft beer industry is arguably the most aggressively affected. Thankfully they were paused for 30 days in early February, however, it felt right to do a deep dive into what they are, and what they mean for the industry. Shehan De Silva of Lost Craft, High Park and Local Spirits joined Cee (who is currently in Florida) to how the tariffs will affect key beer products including aluminium and hops, how it affects the supply chain, how it will affect the US and Canadian industries differently, they touched on the impact that Canada's high taxes have on the beer industry, trade barriers internally, large brewer monopolies, and how negative press continues to degrade an already suffering industry. Since this wasn't a planned pod, the beers weren't matched up but Shehan got into Lost Craft's Old School Pilsner and Espresso Stout, while Cee rocked Burial's Donut Skillet Stout and Other Half's BA Double Sunset - Cloud Cover Layo Terage stout.

In December of 2023, Adam Henderson (Superflux Beer Company), Sam Payne (The Parkside Brewery, Rewind Beer Co.), and Nick Black (Strange Fellows Brewing) joined me to discuss the (seemingly dire) state of the beer industry. Now, just over a year later, the trio of local brewery pros have returned to drink a few beers and discuss the changes, adaptations and growth the industry has seen since we last spoke. Tune into an insightful, humorous, and overall fun-filled episode all about a possible new era for B.C.'s craft beer industry.The Great Craft Beer Reckoning is Here - The GrowlerIf you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email at trackandfoodpod@gmail.com

We've got a new episode of Good, but not the best... a Dancing Gnome podcast hot n' fresh n' ready. We kick things off with some Halloween talk before taking a Look Back into October and a Look Ahead into November in the world of Dancing Gnome. Then, we have a "State of the Industry" discussion spurred by the closing of another local brewery and some online chatter from friend of the podcast, Andy K at Hitchhiker. Next, we are joined by our guest, Tyler Hunter, who tells us how he got into homebrewing, his involvement in the local homebrew clubs (T.R.A.S.H and T.R.U.B) and much more. In the spirit of Halloween, we "resurrect" a segment from my old "Craft Beer Industry" podcast before finishing out the show with a round of "Watch, Listen, Learn."

There are nearly 100 active craft breweries in Idaho — about four times as many as in 2012. But the industry is facing challenges.

Nova Scotia has lost a couple of legends in the alcohol industry. Kevin Keefe died earlier this month. He started the Granite Brewery in Halifax in 1985. Earlier this year, we lost Roger Dial.

Entrepreneurship is a journey filled with highs and lows, successes and failures, and it's okay to feel overwhelmed. But here's the thing: failure isn't the end of the road. It's a valuable teacher. Sure, the road to entrepreneurship is paved with obstacles. Financial metrics, like return on investment, can seem like foreign concepts. And the craft beer industry? It's fiercely competitive. But don't let that discourage you. In this episode, Kelly Meyer, a Sales Professional & Podcast Host, shares his journey from a seven-figure exit in the fitness industry to pursuing his passion in the brewing world. Join us in this episode as Kelly talks about his experiences opening and then selling a craft brewery at a loss after nearly ten years of operation, the challenges of the craft beer industry, and the importance of understanding financial metrics and attention to detail.

Has the bubble burst? 

This week we are joined by the CEO of the Independent Beer Association (IBA), Kylie Lethbridge for a great chat on the current state of the Australian craft beer industry. Join the Facebook group to discuss the pod.

I sit down with Kabel Lefto (Head Brewer at Wabasha Brewing) and Nate Schneider (Vice President of Invictus Brewing & Co-Owner of Trove Brewing) at Arbeiter Brewing to talk about how working in close proximity to alcohol can be challenging for the wellness of people in the craft beverage industry. We talk about taking a break from alcohol or becoming sober altogether. The conversation is enlightening because of Kabel and Nate's extensive experiences in and around the Minnesota craft beer industry. The industry has a responsibility in making the community that we all love and cherish a place for everyone, including those who are choosing a lifestyle that does not include alcohol. This is the first of many conversation we will be having on this podcast about wellness and shining a brighter light on the importance of mental health in the craft beverage industry. I hope you find the conversation thought-provoking. Cheers!

When we think about Public Relations, a lot of questions come to mind. As a craft beer business, should you care about public relations? And what the heck does "public relations" really mean?  How can you get started with PR??? So many questions... In short, YES! You should absolutely care about PR. To help us understand why and to unpack this marketing concept for the craft beer industry, we're joined by Kevin York. Kevin is one of the few people who has done PR, social media, and content marketing at both the strategic and tactical levels. Prior to founding KYC (Kevin York Communications), he worked at Edelman Digital and Voce Communications, a Porter Novelli company, where he served as head of Porter Novelli's global digital technology practice. He also founded and managed The Couchletes, a national sports editorial site with seven regional writers. KYC is hosting a new conference all about marketing in the craft beverage industry called Beer Amplified. The idea is to bring marketing people from lots of different industries (not just beer) and have them share their insights to craft beer industry people. The conference takes place this March in Boston.

You and your employees' social, mental and physical wellbeing matter. The craft beer industry is in a time of reckoning with an all-time record of people leaving their jobs, and employers struggling to fill vacant roles. 1 in 5 employees left a job at some point in their career because of its toxic organizational culture. By one estimate, employee turnover triggered by a toxic culture cost U.S. employers nearly $50 billion per year pre-pandemic. What makes a brewery's culture toxic is often the elevated levels of stress, burnout, mental health issues and pain experienced at work or as a result of their work. While these types of experiences are often common, they are not talked about by and among peers in craft beer. The consequences of the endured pain and silence lead to disengagement in many forms. Two leaders in craft beer share their honest stories of quitting - leaving toxic behaviours, routines, and craft brewery cultures and finding their way to a balanced way of life working inside and living outside of craft beer. Where their identities are more than what they drink or the brewery they work for. Dana Kaluzny (she/her) is a Facilitator, bringing people together for projects that matter and the Co-Owner and Founder of Endswell Beer, a small-batch brewery for people who love beer with people in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. Tom Halaska has almost 30 years of Food & Beverage experience, and community has always been at the heart of his programming. Currently the National Sales Director for Ritual Zero Proof Spirits, Tom's focus is now on helping bar and restaurant owners to create a more inclusive beverage program for the modern drinker.

While Connecticut's craft beer industry has grown steadily over the last decade, the pandemic posed challenges to taprooms and wholesale retailers alike. Nearly half of the state's 125 breweries received federal relief funding, according to the Brewers Association. This hour, we hear from the Connecticut Brewers Guild about how staffing shortages, supply chain snags and price hikes are still a factor for the industry. WBUR recently reported a "carbon dioxide shortage is affecting Massachusetts craft production." Brewers Guild Executive Director Phil Pappas says the price of CO2, an integral ingredient in production and canning, has already gone up. He has concerns the shortage could affect Connecticut in the future. The Brewers Association's annual report found that, nationally, small and independent craft brewers had "rebounded" from the pandemic. While 12 breweries have closed in Connecticut since the start of the pandemic, 22 have opened. Plus, we hear about a new scholarship opportunity aimed at diversifying the Connecticut craft beer industry. New England Brewing Company's (NEBCO) Director of Marketing and Sales Jamal Robinson recently launched the NEBCO African American Brewers Scholarship. The goal was to finance one aspiring Black brewer annually, through Sacred Heart University's new 11-month brewing science certification program, they were able to support four young brewers. Robinson also organized this year's Change in the Air Beer Festival, the first Black-run beer festival in the state. Robinson says the Change in the Air Committee that has formed around the effort has submitted an application for non-profit status.

Florida's Craft Beer Industry is (happily) no stranger to making great releases to support important causes. We are featuring two such beers from two North Florida breweries on this episode. First is Watchstander IPA from Jacksonville's Veterans United. This beer is brewed to support and raise awareness to The Fire Watch--a Florida organization created to end veteran suicide.

This episode is for ALL you Craft BEER lovers out there. And yes, I am even talking to you Craft Beer haters! Taylor Reynolds and Ann Wohlstadter are two amazing women that are passionate about their place in the Craft Beer Industry. Both Taylor and Ann work at Savannah River Brewing Company (SRBC) which is one of Augusta's major breweries. Taylor, who works the front of the house (and occasionally helps out in the back) found her way at SRBC via a rather untraditional route; Beer Yoga. Ann, stirred her way into the back of the house as a badass assistant brewer and a Level 2 Cicerone (there are roughly 4,200 Certified Cicerones in the world. ONLY 120 ARE WOMEN). A pretty impressive accomplishment to say the least. If you want a peak behind the curtain that is the Craft Beer Industry, or perhaps want to know what life is like working in a brewery, this episode is for you!Follow  SRBC's Socials Below!IG: https://www.instagram.com/savannahriverbrew/FB: https://www.facebook.com/SavannahRiverBrewTaylor's IG: https://www.instagram.com/yogawithtaylor/Ann's BLOG: https://www.facebook.com/Adventures-of-a-Modern-Alewife-109973557409672Are you loving ForTheNation Podcast?

This weeks guest is Matt Kump. He is a talented Graphic Designer serving the Craft Beer Industry in Vancouver BC. @itskumpy There are not many projects that can offer the pure creative freedom that comes with designing a Craft Beer label. Sure there are breweries that keep it a bit more mellow and systematic. But the majority just kick down the doors and create some awesome stuff to stand out on the shelf or flex some massive personality. In this episode, Matt shares with us 5 different craft beer label designs he created for Boombox brewing. Some with raised gloss features, some holographic, and some taking advantage of printing on a metallic label stock to create something incredible. There is a lot of great stuff in the audio of this but if you want to watch the video of this interview, it's on YouTube (link below) and you can see the labels as we talk about them. Matt is a tonne of fun to chat with and is putting a lot of great content out for you beer lovers. Check out the links below to his Instagram, Twitch, and Youtube where he puts it all together!______________________________________________________The Craft Beer Label Design Course 2.0 launches on June 22nd.
