Today, I'm talking to Megan Greenwood, founder of Greenwood Brewing, where she's making woman-owned, woman-inspired real beer for all. Megan was an enthusiast and a homebrewer before venturing on her own as an entrepreneur. So, how did she get from Boston to Phoenix and from 8 taps in a garage to 14 taps downtown? In this episode, Megan shares the story of her entrepreneurial journey, the challenges she faced along the way, and why beer has to be better than good to succeed in an ever-crowded industry. Key takeaways: How homebrewing went from a hobby to a profession for Megan–and why her backgrounds in industrial engineering and manufacturing proved hugely helpful. The steps Megan took to get her product into bars and to customers when she didn't have her own facility. How Megan found power in telling her business's unique story in a male-dominated industry. What happened when Megan was finally ready to open at the height of the COVID pandemic. How Megan navigated growing pains as her business grew, manages an ever-growing staff, and continues to create opportunities for herself and her staff.

"This week on Beer Sessions, Jimmy Carbone makes a long awaited return to the studio! He is joined by John Holl, an award-winning journalist covering the beer industry and author of the newly published book, Drink Beer, Think Beer: Getting to the Bottom of Every Pint. We also hear from Justin Phillips, Megan Saxelby and Noah Levin who make up the team at Beer Table, a specialty beer shop in New York City. Jimmy and his guests discuss trends in the beer industry, trying to get to the bottom of which are meaningful and which may be fleeting. John Hull argues we should step away from modifiers like ‘craft’ and ‘independent.’ Everyone is interested in the ways the local food movement is impacting breweries as many begin to grow their own grain and malt. What seems to matter most, is how consumers are making personal connections with the beer they drink. Beer Sessions Radio is powered by Simplecast

Did you know beer was once consumed as a healthier alternative to water? The fermented beverage has been around for 4000 years. Brewing sustainably will ensure we can drink to our health for centuries to come. Breweries have a big footprint so there are opportunities everywhere to effect change. In this episode, we discuss brewing, regenerative agriculture, the flavor profile kernza, and forming partnerships with other sustainably minded food companies (Bcorps). Christian offers insights into the challenges breweries have when making the decision to go green. Water usage, waste reduction from spent grains, and energy consumption are pretty major when producing beer. Ways you can get involved: Get in touch!
