How does a startup scale? It all starts with a great product that solves a real problem. And sometimes that means taking the slow and steady road to startup success.Recorded at Trillium Brewing in Boston, we sit down with Adi Dalvi, the VP of Sales at OSARO, a company that specializes in robot piece-picking and machine learning solutions to automate warehouse tasks. With minimal marketing in the early days, OSARO managed to grow and scale operations to deliver holistic systems to solve real warehouse challenges. The secret? Rather than rushing technology and products to market and hoping someone bites, OSARO spent years perfecting products before deploying. We hear about how its founders, with backgrounds in industry, achieved calculated growth and targeted the right customers from the beginning. Adi shares his view on the four types of people you need on your startup team, how OSARO set 3-step criteria for finding the right customers, and Adi's approach to getting great case studies from customers. In this episode, find out:Adi gives a breakdown of what OSARO does – developing vision software and machine learning to integrate with articulating arm robots in the warehouseWhat “calculated growth” means at OSARO and the importance of taking the time to develop products before deploying Why Adi wouldn't describe OSARO as a startup anymore and instead a company in early-stage growthWhy companies shouldn't rush to get products out when they're still in the research project stageThe benefits of having founders come from industry The three-step criteria OSARO used to pick the right customers in the beginningHow startups can extend their runway and keep investors updated with the progress Adi's method for getting customer case studies in the early negotiation stages with customers What four types of founder backgrounds bring to a startup and why you benefit from having them allHow OSARO managed to achieve growth without marketing in the early days by focusing on perfecting the product Adi's advice for startups just trying to get early customers so they can grow and scale successfullyThe best part about running this podcast and how things have changed since going down the entrepreneur routeEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:"Really testing your product, making sure it's robust with actual products that you're going to pick is very important as you move from very early company to somebody that can scale.""They wanted to have a deployable product before they actually deployed to a customer site... You don't want to deploy a research project into your customers' warehouses where they're actually fulfilling orders for their customers.""What [someone with a VC background] brings is they've seen a lot of competing technologies and understand what those technologies are doing well and what they're not doing well."Links & mentions:OSARO, manufacturer of robot piece-picking and machine learning solutions to automate warehouse tasksAdi's Pittsburgh brewery crawl, including Grist House, Dancing Gnome, Pittsburgh Brewing Co., and

This week, I sit down with a very special guest and his name is Chad Medved. You read that right. Chad is ANOTHER CHAD MEDVED from Pittsburgh. Over the last few years, I've had a few people ask me “Do you work at Grist House?” and I never understood why. Was there someone else trying to be me?! Finally, I searched Chad Medved on Facebook and low and behold there was in fact ANOTHER Chad Medved that did work there. I knew immediately I had to get him on the podcast and talk about what life was like growing up as another Chad Medved and I am just so happy I did. Last night, I sat down with Chad and we talked about growing up, what his bedroom looked like compared to mine, bmx, skateboarding, how he got into the beer industry, and how he got his foot in the door at Grist House. This episode is sensational. Such a fun talk. I know you're going to enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks again so much for always listening and supporting what I do.

This episode, we’re talking about people who are coming to Pittsburgh, whether it’s for work or just visiting.We’ll break down a report that suggests the city might be a better fit for tech workers than the mecca of the digital economy, Silicon Valley (gotta love our standard of living). We’re also talking about a recent article that probes the need for a new hotel at the convention center. (Hint: The answer isn’t very simple.)In between, we welcome the Breaking Brews Podcast’s host Jason Cercone for a chat about the business of beer and Pittsburgh’s place in the industry.This episode is sponsored by WordWrite:Centuries before cellphones and social media, human connections were made around fires, as we shared the stories that shaped our world.

Because sometimes 100 words just isn't enough for a great story. Logan:Hello, and welcome to a brand new episode of the P100 podcast. You're here with myself, Logan Armstrong, and co-hosts Dan Stefano and Paul Furiga. Guys, how are you doing?Paul:Great, Logan.Dan:Emphasis on the co-host there. You're the host with the mostest there.Logan:I try to be. I do what I can, but-Paul:Yes he does and he does it well.Logan:I get my mostest from the people I'm surrounded with. On today's episode, we're going to be examining tech jobs in Pittsburgh, and there have been a few recent articles for some vying to leave and some vying to stay that you may have seen. So we're going to be talking about that and seeing how Pittsburgh ranks compared with cities and metros around the country in tech jobs.Logan:Then we're going to bring in our good friend Jason Cercone from the Breaking Brews podcast. He takes a drink from breaking, excuse me. He takes a break from drinking beer and talks about the business side of it.Paul:Wait a minute, that wasn't in this segment. There was no beer drinking?Logan:Unfortunately no.Logan:We asked him about it and he said that he'd be happy to rejoin us.Dan:Logan, let's remember we're talking to the CEO of our company within the office, so no. There's no-Paul:Well that's fine. Let's chat.Dan:We don't have a video of this, but if you could see the winking eye. No, there is no-Logan:No beer during this segment.Dan:Drinking during this segment.Paul:Of course not.Logan:Okay, and then finally we're going to wrap up with what's missing from downtown.Paul:Oh.Logan:Indeed, mysterious.Paul:Question.Logan:That's right. You'll have to stick around to see what we're talking about, but we're in for a great episode so we hope you stick around.Dan:I hope it's not my car or anything.Paul:Okay guys, time to do one of our favorite things on the podcast. Talk about Pittsburgh getting another great national ranking.Dan:Another list, right?Paul:We're on another list.Dan:Yeah.Paul:This one's a good one. Although, if you're in the Silicon Valley area, maybe not so good.Dan:Right.Paul:A couple of weeks ago, Wallet Hub, which is an online service provider that looks at financial things, very popular with millennials.Dan:They make many lists.Paul:They make many lists of many different things. Top places to live in the country for tech workers. Pittsburgh, number five. Silicon Valley, not so high, which caused the San Jose Mercury News, which San Jose's a community that's smack in the middle of Silicon Valley, to write sort of a cheeky little article. Pittsburgh is better for tech workers than Silicon Valley? Question mark. Well, yes, if you want to live affordably, apparently it actually is.Dan:That's completely accurate. Yeah. The Bay Area, it's got to be one of the highest costs of living-Paul:It is actually.Dan:In the country.Paul:It has the highest cost of living in the country. And Logan, you were looking inside some of the rankings, and Pittsburgh ranked in the top 15 in a number of categories, right?Logan:Yes. So the three categories were professional opportunities, STEM friendliness, and quality of life. And Pittsburgh ranked 13th, 14th, and 11th in those, respectively. And some of the reasons that places like San Francisco and the Bay Area didn't rank so highly is that they would rank very high in one or two of these categories. So for example, San Francisco ranked third in both professional opportunities and STEM friendliness but then ranked 63rd in quality of life for reasons we were alluding to earlier. So it's good to see that Pittsburgh ranked in these lists as being as an all around. Maybe it's not top five or the best in STEM friendliness or professional opportunities, but it's well-rounded and our quality of life here is, according to this list, far better than some of our counterparts.Paul:And certainly as the community here has continued to transform, and I'm thinking now of Uber, and Apptive, and Apple's got a good presence in the city. Facebook's virtual reality company, Oculus, is wholly sited here in the Pittsburgh region. We're trying to attract more tech workers and we've got these great university programs, CMU and Pitt at the head of the pack, but others as well, where we're building this tech community. And I guess it does still surprise people in the more traditional communities, but it's legit. There's something going on here.Dan:Right. For better or worse, Pittsburgh will always kind of bring that blue collar atmosphere, that blue collar mentality, a bit rough around the edges. I talk about it all the time, but my wife's family, who, they grew up in California, they all lived in California for a while. They came to Pittsburgh here and they said, "Wow, I had no idea it was this green." So there's always going to be a bit of a stigma that the city carries around, but I think these lists show that to that the news is catching on here. And Pittsburgh is basically known now for the meds and eds and now tech. The reputation is definitely growing here and starting to overcome that stigma.Paul:That perception.Dan:Yeah. But there's ... Well, not to be Debbie Downer or play devil's advocate here, there are still the legacies of that history here that carries on, especially in our environment.Paul:Yeah. We still have work to do, that's for sure. I can remember when I first moved back to this region from the Washington DC area. I had a job in the south side and what is now South Side Works was still a working steel mill, and as I would drive across the Birmingham Bridge every morning, the smell of burning coke was my appetizer before breakfast.Logan:Morning coffee.Dan:That'll wake you.Paul:And there's been plenty of coverage, and legitimately so, that we still have environmental problems in the region. And certainly one of the reasons why the Bay Area, Silicon Valley, is disadvantaged on a list like this, is because there's such a huge economic disparity there. It's the most expensive metropolitan area in the country. Ours is not. Part of the reason Pittsburgh's so affordable, the collapse of the steel industry and heavy industry. So there's all this housing stock and we didn't have the kind of inflation maybe that a place on the coast like San Francisco has had, but we have economic disparity too, and that's something that we have to work on too.Dan:Right. I think that's being recognized now. We talked about a couple episodes ago here, that the city is starting to take a hard look at itself, especially in terms of the racial inequalities that exist here.Paul:Yes.Dan:Again, the three of us aren't the best people to speak to this. We don't live the same experiences that a lot of people do in this city, but we can play a role by listening and being active and playing a part in recognizing that. And trying to create opportunities, being part of the solutions here. It's going to take a long time for Pittsburgh to completely shrug off some of the legacies that came from the 20th century here, some of the stuff that might be dragging down the city, but we can do it.Paul:We absolutely can. And if we can, we'll put in the show notes, there have been a couple of interesting public source articles that have dug into some of these issues, and I was reading-Dan:Quite a battle in tech, here.Paul:It was a battle in tech, and there's one written by a fellow named Noah Theriault, I believe that's how his name is pronounced, and he's at CMU. And the conclusion of this article, which you found, Dan, I thought was really interesting. He said "Here many of us who come here for opportunities in the city's universities, hospitals, and tech firms, do so in a state of willful ignorance. We take advantage of the low cost of living, we relish the walkability of the neighborhoods. We gentrify. Many of us smugly believe that we are the city's rebirth, the salvation from rust and blight. Too few of us learn about the historical and ongoing realities that make it most livable." And I think that's something that's really at the heart of what we need to remember. It's great to be on lists like this, but really there is no Nirvana -Dan:Right?Paul:That exists among places to live in this country. We have work to do too.Dan:It's hard to put a number on somebody's personal experiences here. I think that's the crux of what you were talking about there.Paul:Exactly. Exactly.Dan:All right. We're here with Jason Cercone. He's the chief brand officer at Breaking Brews, also the founder there and they're a content network and digital resource platform for people in the beer industry. Not only that, he hosts the Breaking Brews podcast, which takes a pretty unique look at the beer industry. They focus a lot on the business side of things. So Jason, thanks for being here.Jason:Thanks for having me guys.Dan:Awesome. Okay. As we mentioned, what you like to do with Breaking Brews your podcast and kind of spins off of your business. You look at a pretty different side of things in the spirits industry, in the alcohol industry there, that people don't think of all the time and that's actually selling the stuff and getting it out there, right? Yeah.Jason:Yeah. What I discovered was there are a lot of podcasts dedicated to drinking beer and reviewing and having fun and those podcasts are all great, but I wanted to bring something different to the podcast world. And I started looking at the fact that we don't have a ton of podcasts that are dedicated to the business side. Which talks about sales and marketing and distribution, all those different facets that are very important and very critical to the beer world. That was where it really started to ... or where I really started to make it take off. And I talked to a lot of industry professionals that felt the same way. They said when they're cleaning kegs and doing some of the horrible work that goes on in the brew houses that they want to put on a good podcast and listen to something that they can learn from, and that was the resource I wanted to put out there for them.Dan:Right, well the industry's really exploded as far as the craft production or the craft beer segment goes. I think ... I'm just looking at some facts here from the Brewer's Association, retail sale dollars of craft beer in 2018, I think the most recent year of stats was $27.6 billion. You said you've seen that since you started the Breaking Brews podcast yourself, you started about four years ago, or is that just your business?Jason:Breaking Brews itself started back in 2014. This is actually my third iteration of a podcast. I actually did one, like I was saying before, where we just sat around and drank beer, and that got old after a while.Dan:Why aren't we doing that right now?Jason:That's a very good question. I know. I was quizzed on that when I walked in the door, why I didn't bring beer and I'm starting to regret that.Dan:We'll just have our first kegger podcast, here.Logan:Yeah, well that'd make for some good conversation, that's for sure.Dan:That's a great idea.Jason:I'm always happy to come back for a second round if you guys want me to bring some-Dan:Right.Jason:Good drinks.Dan:Great idea. But yeah, as we were talking about the industry is just enormous right now. We're seeing that too in Pittsburgh, right?Jason:Absolutely. Yeah. I mean when I started things in 2014, there was probably maybe a dozen local craft breweries and now you look at the landscape, there's over 50 throughout the region. It's incredible. So many of them are doing great products and getting it out to bars around the area and also creating an awesome taproom experience too.Dan:Why do you think that is?Jason:Pittsburgh loves its beer, man.Dan:Yeah.Jason:But overall I think that ... I mean we haven't ... we hear the talk about the bubble a lot and has craft beer reached its saturation point. And I've always been a firm believer that we haven't even come close because we're not even close to the number that we had, or number of breweries we had before prohibition.Dan:Yeah.Jason:I mean we're creeping up, we're getting close, but the population of all these different cities and states across the country is so much higher. And when I go out to events and I do samplings and I talk to beer drinkers, a lot of folks still really aren't aware of what's going on in the craft beer industry. So there's still a lot of education that we can provide and that was one of the main drivers of Breaking Brews was putting some education out there so people can better understand what's going on in the industry and what's going on with these products.Logan:That's an interesting benchmark that you mentioned there that the number of brewers before the prohibition. Is that a common milestone in the craft beer business? And are there things that were happening back then that are happening now? The same way?Jason:I think it's, it's obviously changed a lot in regards to how beer is made. Brewers have pushed the envelope to the furthest degree possible and then a little bit more. You see a lot of crazy ingredients going into beers that probably pre-prohibition they weren't putting donuts into stouts and Twinkies-Logan:What were they doing?Jason:Breakfast cereal. I know it's like they weren't living their best life at all. However, a lot has changed. It's just the question of people's tastes have changed too and it's what do they want? And that's what these brewers are constantly trying to stay on top of, is what does the beer consumer want to drink today? And that's why I think you see such a variety out there in the market.Dan:Is it fair to say that it's easier to start a brewery round now or at least, somebody can be in their basement and actually trying to kickstart their own beer?Jason:That's probably the biggest misconception is that it's so easy to start a brewery because it's like any other business.Dan:Look, I've seen the Drew Carey show and he had a brewery in his basement. I know how this works .Jason:That's one of the big problems when you see some of these breweries that come out and their beer really isn't that great. They're standing around with their friends in a circle and all their friends are drinking their beer saying, "This is the best beer I've ever had. You need to start a brewery." And that's all well and good, but if they don't have a business sense that goes along with making a good product or even a subpar product, if they don't manage it properly, it's just not going to succeed. So it's just like anything else. I think that the barriers to entry are a little bit less because a lot of people have done it, but the smart thing to do would be go into it knowing that it's a business and you have to do all the things that you would normally do to run a business, or partner with somebody that can handle that end of your business for you.Logan:Partner with someone like Jason, Jason Cercone.Jason:I am for hire. I am here if anybody needs assistance. I'd be happy to help.Dan:Have you ever, you yourself, have you ever actually started ... Well maybe not started your own brewery, but have you ever brewed your own drafts?Jason:I've partnered and done some collaboration beers with a few different breweries across town. I did an event last year where I partnered with Yellow Bridge Brewing out in Delmont. I just went out and brewed with them for the day and I was able to say that I helped and I call that a collaboration. And I've done that with a couple of other breweries too. And that's fun. I mean that's the brewing side of it for me. I've always been more of a beer drinker and I like to obviously talk about it and promote it and market it. Brewing it just wasn't really something I wanted to do full time. It's a hard job. I think that's where a lot of people look at that like a glamorous thing and brewers will tell you, those are long days. It's very industrial and they work their asses off to put together a good product. End of the day, they are dog tired.Dan:Sure.Jason:So yeah, important. If you're going to be a brewer, know you'll be working hard.Dan:Right. We talk about hard work there. We're talking about having a good business sense. What do you see are some of the secrets to say these successful craft brewers and the people that maybe ... even some of these breweries that say are smaller, let's think about Southern Tier years ago, nobody knew who they were. Now they've got their own brewery on the North shore and what are some of the secrets to some of these businesses that have made it?Jason:I think it's understanding how to grow and being very deliberate about it and not trying to just shoot the moon right out of the gate. Obviously you have to establish a loyal fan base and make good product at the same time. But if you try to go too heavy, if you're a small local brewery and you try to make a statewide distribution, your number one priority, chances are you're not going to succeed because you don't have the liquid to supply the markets. So there's a lot of different aspects that you have to look at, but probably the most important is to use a popular phrase of our time, stay in your lane, and understand what it takes to build that brand from the ground up.Jason:Don't try to get too far ahead of yourself before you're ready. And then once the time comes where you've established that brand, then you can start looking at ... popular thing now other than distribution is looking at secondary spaces. We're starting to see some breweries in the Pittsburgh area open up secondary spots so they've proven that their brand is good enough to support it and we wish them the best in carrying that out.Dan:Who would you point to as some really good success stories in the Pittsburgh area then and what they've done successfully?Jason:Oh man, that list is long.Dan:Yep.Jason:Yeah. One of the breweries that I work with, the Spoonwood brewing in Bethel Park.Dan:I was there just this weekend.Jason:Awesome. What'd you think?Dan:I loved it. It was my second time there. I had a great time.Jason:Yeah, they're doing great beer. Great food. It's a great tap room atmosphere. You really can't ask for much more than that. They've been ... they're coming up on five years.Dan:Wow.Jason:And I've been working with them since pretty much the beginning and we've been building that brand and we don't do a ton of distribution, but a lot of the beer that we put out there ultimately was just to build that brand and give people an opportunity to taste it. To where they might say, "Wow, this is in Bethel Park. I'm going to go down there and see what else they have to offer." Another brewery I work with is Four Points Brewing out of Charleroi. They've ... just under two years old at this point, actually just about a year and a half now and they're killing it. They're doing some great beer and then you've got a lot of the names that people hear of all the time, like your Grist Houses and your Dancing Gnomes and Voodoos and Hitchhikers of the world. Again, we could sit here and do a whole podcast where I just rattle off the list because there's a lot of good beer happening.Dan:Well, you're in luck, our next segment, we're going to list breweries for the next 25 minutes. All right.Jason:Yeah. Close off with reading the phone book.Dan:Exactly.Jason:Riveting radio.Logan:Now you've learned a lot of these techniques and methods. You have over 20 years’ experience in marketing and sales. Did that start off in beer, or and if not, how did you navigate into the beer industry from that?Jason:That was ... I mean that was broken compasses for days, man, that was ... No, it did not start in beer. I've been working in the beer industry – counting what I did with starting Breaking Brews – for going on six years now. I sold cell phones right out of college, landed at Enterprise-Rent-a-Car for several years after that. Ran Hair Club for Men here in Pittsburgh for about four years. And with Breaking Brews, when I started it, it was ultimately just to build something that I felt was a good resource that could teach people how to gravitate to these beers in a very approachable way. Because as I learned, a lot of people just weren't aware of what was happening around them. So I was able to parlay my skillset from all my years in the professional world into a business that now I can help the breweries and help the different businesses that I work with do sales and marketing and create a good customer experience. All those good things, all things that are very important to building a good brand.Dan:Bring it back a little bit locally here to ... Pittsburgh I feel like is ... we've got a pretty special relationship to beer here. And it's some pretty big names in terms of, you think of Iron City, Duquesne, there's obviously Rolling Rock used to be around. How do you feel like the city's adopted and adapted to this craft brewing? I don't know if you could call it a Renaissance because it hasn't been around until right now, but this upsurge right now that people are ... they are doing with craft brewing.Jason:Yeah I think with the breweries now, I mean obviously as we spoke about earlier, we've got over 50 across the region now. It says a lot for the fact that people are going to go to a good brewery regardless of where they're at. It's become very neighborhood centric where you look like an old neighborhood pub, that's in some respects, being replaced by the local neighborhood brewery. You're seeing them essentially on every corner, quote unquote. And I think that helps with the fact that these guys are able to grow their brands so well because then it expands beyond their neighborhood as well. But yeah, we have a very rich history here in Pittsburgh with beer going back years and years back to ... I mean, Iron City was the beer.Jason:And I think now you're starting to see more of a shift towards the craft brands and many of them have been here for ... You look at East End, they've been here for 15 plus years now and they really were setting some good trends for what could happen and how people could gravitate towards a craft brand. Same with Penn Brewery. I believe 1986, was when they hit the scene. So a lot of good things have come along that have really helped push it forward. And now Pittsburgh is becoming one of those hot beds and I shouldn't say becoming it already is. And probably our closest rival in the state, just like everything else, is Philadelphia. And I think both of us have a tremendous beer scene that we can be proud of.Dan:Yeah. I think if you ever see a Penguins, Flyers game, it looks like more than a few people have beers.Jason:Well now, you see breweries have gotten in with the rivalries, like Grist House, and I'm forgetting the brewery that they partnered with out of Cleveland, they did a Browns, Steelers rivalry beer.Dan:Oh did they really?Jason:Rivertowne and Sly Fox had partnered up a couple of years ago for the stadium series. And they did a ... Glove Dropper was the name of the beer. And they worked together on that and sold it in both markets and worked out really well.Dan:All right Jason, well thanks so much for being here with us, for everybody at home.

We are talking about what is known in the travel trade as a headquarters hotel. In other words, if Pittsburgh were to host a very large convention, a large hotel would be designated as the headquarters hotel. In many cities, this is a large hotel that's attached to the convention center.Dan:Right.Paul:And that typically has somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand rooms.Dan:Right.Paul:Pittsburgh – yinz don't have one of those n’at.Dan:Oh, they do have a hotel connected to the convention center, right?Paul:Yes, yes. We do the Weston and actually Dan, I'm glad you mentioned that.Dan:Yeah.Paul:Because in the original plans for the convention center development, that hotel was supposed to be about twice as big as it is and if it were, it would be the size of a headquarters hotel.Dan:Sure. Well, I think that is, it's interesting that you're bringing this up and I think we rewind a little bit. The reason we're bringing this up is, on February 3rd, in the Post-Gazette, Craig Davis, who used to be the CEO of Visit Pittsburgh.Paul:Yes.Dan:Yeah. Visit Pittsburgh is the local-Paul:It's the Convention and Visitor's Bureau in part supported byPaul:Our tax funds and they promote the city to businesses like conventions.Dan:Right, yeah.Paul:But also to leisure travelers.Dan:Draw people into the city. Yeah, it's important. Yeah. This article, what it did with, again with Craig Davis here, he had a piece of parting advice for Pittsburgh is how Mark Belko, the writer introduced this and he did a really nice job with this piece. Craig wanted to build a convention center hotel.Paul:Right.Dan:And that's what we're talking about here. And there's a lot of back and forth about whether it should be done, whether ... what kind of impact it would bring on the city here. And he had some really good information about it, yourself, but a lot of people, they want to see more here. And that's what we're talking about today.Paul:Right. So in the tourism and convention industry in Pittsburgh, this is the third rail of politics. Nobody really wants to talk about it. And I look at this article in the Post-Gazette, Visit Pittsburgh, great organization. Craig Davis, very effective leader and he's been hired to run a similar organization in Dallas. Smart person. He's in Dallas now, so he can kind of say, what maybe he couldn't say before when he was in Pittsburgh. And for people in his business, his line of work, you need to have a convention center hotel. The thing is, to build that would cost about, Oh, kind of like the same amount of money to build PNC Park or Heinz Field.Dan:Right? Yeah. In this article here, they have an estimate of $350,000 to $400,000 a room to build.Paul:Or in other words-Dan:That's all.Paul:Yeah. $240 million.Dan:Right. That's for a 600-room hotel.Paul:Exactly.Dan:Yeah.Paul:It's a lot of money. And it was not easy to get PNC Park and Heinz Field built. There was actually a referendum on the ballot one year that failed. It was called the Regional Renaissance Initiative. I mean we put renaissance in the name of everything, don't we? And it was after that, that a deal was brokered. A lot of critics said behind closed doors and smoke-filled back rooms that wound up producing Heinz Field and PNC Park. There doesn't seem to be a lot of political appetite for spending that kind of money, again.Dan:Right.Paul:On something like a convention center hotel.Dan:Again here, Mark did a great job with this article here and he put it pretty succinctly here. He said, "In recent years, Davis' pitch has landed with all of the enthusiasm of a root canal."Paul:Yes.Dan:I don't know about you guys, I get too enthusiastic over root canals, but I suppose not many other people do, but the article does bring up a good point. That there's been a recent hotel building boom in the region, in the downtown area, particularly across the river. Some other smaller hotels that have cropped up here and there, the Marriotts and whatnot.Paul:Many. You could throw a rock from where we sit right now, we can hit the Monaco.Dan:Absolutely, yeah.Paul:Throw it across the way, hit the Embassy Suites. We've got the William Penn, which has been here for a long time. The Drury is in the old federal reserve building.Dan:Right and that's just a block away from the convention center. But the kind of full service hotel that, again, this is from the article here that Mr. Davis would see here, that would require huge public subsidies. And that's-Paul:Yes.Dan:I think the sticking point that it comes down to.Paul:That is the third rail part.Dan:Whether we want this here and I think it's one of those things where you balance. You say, "How much are these conventions going to be worth compared to the costs, the investments that you have to make in a city here." And it could take a while until the scales tip one way.Paul:Well, and what's very interesting about this is, there are statistics, there don't seem to be any statistics readily available to say, "Yes, Pittsburgh, you should do this." What we tend to fall back on, are a couple of really great seminal events. First was the Bassmaster Classic several years ago. And still of course people who don't know Pittsburgh want to depict it as a smoky mill town. And we had this freshwater national competition for bass fishing. And it went off really great. And that's led, as Mark Belko's article points out to Visit Pittsburgh getting into seeking sports events. And we've had, I can't believe this, I didn't even realize this number, 22 NCAA championship events have been held in Pittsburgh and we've got more coming.Dan:Yeah. Just recently they had the National Women's Volleyball championship out here.Paul:Yeah.Dan:And I think a big part of that comes down to, they now have a world-class arena to do it in.Paul:Yes.Dan:Where Civic Arena definitely showed its age after a while.Paul:Right.Dan:That plays a different part here. But certainly the downtown hotel building boom assists with that.Paul:Absolutely. Absolutely.Dan:Convention centers is ... that's a little different. And again, I think what, Craig Davis is trying to say here is, having it connected to the convention center, people love that. It's very convenient just to grab an elevator, have a little sky walk over to the convention center. It's not always a feasible immediately though, it's nice to think of these things, but it's hard to find room for it. And whether you're going to supplement what is already there or again, it takes money.Paul:Well, my point about Bassmaster, the other thing that happened of course was the G20 in 2009. Those two events put Pittsburgh, reputation-wise, on a world stage. In the article, Mark Belko talks about Milwaukee, which is a nice enough town and they have a baseball team that has a better record over the last decade of a postseason-Dan:They spend more than the Buccos, but that's a-Paul:They do.Dan:That's a whole other podcast.Paul:However, in terms of the hotel market, not quite the same size as Pittsburgh and they're getting the Democratic convention this year.Dan:Absolutely.Paul:Why does Pittsburgh not have that sort of convention? And if we did, aside from the monetary benefits of the convention itself, what would it do for the city in terms of raising the reputation even more and bringing more convention business to Pittsburgh? It's hard to say. It's also hard to argue that it was really cool to have Bassmaster or certainly the President and world leaders for the G20. That was awesome exposure for Pittsburgh. This is kind of a question of how much is the region willing to spend? And apparently it's going to have to spend something, in order to create that kind of environment.Dan:I think what's important when you look at these national conventions, particularly in the political arena, that is strategic by the parties too.Paul:Oh yes.Dan:Wisconsin's very important in this upcoming election to the Democrats. As is Pennsylvania.Paul:Right.Dan:But they were also in Philadelphia not that long ago, so do they want to spend so much more time in Pennsylvania and look, Wisconsin, the people ... whenever they do the Monday morning quarterbacking of that election, they did not spend all the time there. So it's ... they're showing ... it's a quite a statement that they are spending the time in Milwaukee for this upcoming convention. But it also shows that if Milwaukee can host something like this, then, so can Pittsburgh.Paul:Why not Pittsburgh, yeah.Dan:I think Pittsburgh actually held the very first Republican convention that was back in the 1860s or so. And we had the hotel rooms for that one, I guess. You know.Paul:We did.Dan:Yeah.Paul:Well, country was a little smaller then.Dan:Indeed. Yeah.Paul:Might be a difference, but I think this is a topic we're going to come back to again, so we wanted to put it out there for everybody. Again, props to Mark Belko and his article and the truth speaking, shall we say, of Craig Davis. We'll have to watch the skyline and see where this one goes.Dan:Well, most importantly, just as a final coda to this, and Mark's article did describe this a bit at the end, for the leaders that want to see this kind of change, that want to see a hotel down here, they have to show their work. It has to be ... You have to come to ... with studies from respected institutions, respected people, who are proving that, "Okay, hey, when Milwaukee hosted this type of thing, if they had a hotel here, this is the impact that they would have got."Dan:There are other areas here in Louisville and Columbus that are building hotels. What will those hotels do for their ability to draw conventions? Are they stealing them from Pittsburgh? You have to come up with that information. You have to present it to the leaders, not only in our government, but the community to approve ... like, "Hey, okay, some of tax dollars should go to this."Paul:Absolutely.Dan:And if you can do that, if you can convince enough people, then maybe it happens. But that stuff takes some time too.Paul:Well, and just a final thought on this since Craig Davis left Visit Pittsburgh, they are engaged in a search for a CEO. So I would expect that once a new CEO is named, one of the first things that we should be looking for, is some thinking around this topic.Dan:Absolutely.Logan:And we are well beyond 100 words today.

SESSION SUMMARY: As has become the routine on the Breaking Brews Podcast, we aim to deliver content that can help in all aspects of beer marketing. From social media to email marketing to event management to everything in between, the goal of each session is to provide some tips, strategies, and knowledge you can implement into your own practices - no matter where you're listening to this podcast from. In today's session, host Jason Cercone is joined by Bailey Allegretti, Marketing Manager for Grist House Craft Brewery in Pittsburgh, PA. Bailey has been working with the brewery in this position for over a year as of the release of this podcast and has helped implement several strategies and initiatives that have helped solidify Grist House as one of the most popular breweries in the Steel City. Bailey shares some background about her experience in the beer industry, starting off with obtaining some well-rounded experience in organization, social media, and brewing in her role at Copper Kettle Brewing Company, an on-premise brewing facility that once functioned in Pittsburgh that allowed individuals to schedule appointments to make their own small batches of beer, then package and take home their finished liquid upon completion. After a brief stint outside the beer world, Bailey knew she wanted to be in the industry and the role she earned at Grist House helped her do just that. Since taking over the role of Marketing Manager, Bailey has helped streamline Grist House's online approach and has added consistency to all initiatives. She has utilized each network to communicate with the thirsty beer community in Pittsburgh and also shares relevant content about the brand, including their expansion project that will see the brewery renovate and move their beer production to a former Nike missile control center in Collier Township in the near future. Bailey and Jason discuss many facets of beer marketing throughout this session, including: Ways to build an effective newsletter that people will want to read The power of Facebook's event management platform and how a well-managed event entry can not only lead to a successful event, but help your brand visibility overallThe importance of appealing aesthetics in can artWhy clean glassware is important (yes, this topic came up again)Things to do and things not to do with your social media accountsOther areas where you can effectively build your brand presence besides the popular social media networksIf you'd like to check out Bailey's work via the Grist House digital presence, the links to do just that are right here:Website | Facebook | Instagram | TwitterMUSIC CREDIT: All music in today's session of the Breaking Brews Podcast is courtesy of purple-planet.com.

Podcast 38: The Yearly Re-cap We do a year in review! (Shocker!) Everyone go check their untappd year in review and follow along with us! Dog friends Hercules and Jackson join us by destroying dog toys! Beer #1: Brut IPA - New Belgium (6.8% Brut *duh* IPA) Alex said the beer guy at Liberty beer said this was very forgettable. Very light body and seems under carbonated for the style. We talked about all our New Year celebrations. Alex had a rowdy time. Alex made some calculations about how much we all spent at Dancing Gnome this year (Hint: it's more than we would all like to admit) and our favorite beer people. Our first segment was about beer trends in 2018. - Sours were up first - Hazy IPAs were the top dog for sure - Milkshake IPAs Beer #2: Sparkler - Sixpoint (7% Brut IPA) Pours very cloudy but definitely has a lighter color and a lot of carbonation. Ryan discussed his favorite beers/breweries from his travels this year. Noble Creature was one of his highlights in Youngstown, OH. Alex had some fun in Cleveland this year. We all appreciate his discovery of Platform beer. Ryan recounted his trip to Jacksonville and how impressed he was with everyone in the chain restaurants having local state beers on tap. We explore the idea of online reviews and how much weight they carry in choosing your nightspot or food or whatever else. Segment 2: Favorite beers of the year! Sara: Underscore Passionfruit (Dancing Gnome), Stackhouse Imperial Stout (Charles Towne Fermentory), Permutation #52 (Trillium) Nick: Blueberry Cobbler J.R.E.A.M. (Burley Oak), Gnome's Soul (Barreled Souls/Dancing Gnome), Permutation #52 (Trillium) Ryan: dodged the question and said he liked can designs. Alex: Toucan Slam (Strange Roots), 3 Scoops Passionfruit/Lemonade/Mango (The Answer) Jake: Permutation #52 (Trillium), Very Green (Treehouse) Least Favorite beers: Sara: Mike (Magnify/DG collab) Alex: Lemon Ginger Saison (Platform) Nick: Gorilla Snacks (Burley Oak) Ryan: Nothing particular but he's not a fan of Christmas beers. Jake: His own homebrew was the worst, Backlash beers were very underwhelming, We covered the beer festivals we went to and the good/bad/ugly that came with them. From there we launch into some of the cool bars we visited this year. Segment 3: Podcast Trends Hairwatch 2018 - The story of one man's hair control or lack thereof Catchphrases - “Hello, and welcome!” Merch in 2019 - we're speaking this into existence Memes were fire this year. We hated some words this year Everyone chimes in on our love of Hitchhiker brewery and we're really excited to see what they bring in the new year. Our opinions were very mixed on them and we discuss our thoughts on what they should do. Dancing Gnome was up next on the roast. Some people think they need to sit on their beers a little longer. IPAs need to be fresh, but letting some DG beers sit in your fridge for a week allows it to develop differently. Jake joined us for the end of the cast, and even with good service his service still sucked. Segment 4: Looking forward - 2019 beer trends, festivals, guests and things Travel: Alex wants to get to Bend, OR, Columbus, OH, Ryan is going to Breckenridge, CO Dancing Gnome's Bird series (replacing the Flower series), Dead Sleep, Underscore and Black Clouds.

Podcast 35: A Strange Funk We're back with another guest this week! Nikki is in studio with us to discuss the craft beer industry and her experience with our Brewery of the Week - Strange Roots Experimental Ales. Nikki gives us a run down of her history in the industry. She was a bar manager for one of our favorite local restaurants, Mad Mex. She gave us some insight into how the craft selection was made and who she worked with to have on tap at her locations. With almost 20 years of food industry experience she has a few stories to tell. Nikki also works a couple days a week at Strange Roots currently. She was able to shed light on the shipping/purchasing of beer within PA, which is apparently a lot easier if you produce beer in the commonwealth. Beer #1 (Studio) - Ragnarok - Strange Roots (8.2% Wild Ale with Elderberries, Black Currants, Red Raspberries and Black Cherry juice) This one was a carry over from the days of Draai Laag and very much lends to the flavor. Wild fermentation makes this a very tart beer. Brown in color, lots of cherry/berry on the nose but not a lot of barrel flavor. Beer #1 (Jake) - Zing Pop - Strange Roots (9.1% American Wild Ale) Jake said think alcohol Sprite. Very carbonated and floral. We get into the beers Strange Roots makes and the theme here is experimentation and pushing the limits. Behemoth is a 20% barleywine which is crazy for a beer. Jake fires off some questions at Nikki about her favorite breweries and personal beer consumption. We hit on Dancing Gnome and Grist House for cool hang out spots and discuss a little bit about hours and demand. We took a hard right and discussed Ben Affleck's back tattoo. Google it. It's a train wreck. Hercules makes his presence known. Beer #2 (Studio) - Breakfast Superhighway - Platform/Hitchhiker collab (6.8% IPA with milk sugar, citrus zest and breakfast cereal) Nikki was not a fan of this one. It's very bready and fruity and the milk sugar is very present in this beer. From here we went over Platform and Hitchhiker and the experimental styles. We talk about adjuncts in beer, such as ginger, pop tarts, count chocula, etc. Jake dabs and then Alex accuses people of not being able to floss. Not the dance, but the dental care activity. Alex questions his youth because he didn't know what the floss dance was. Looping back to Strange Roots we talk a little about their business tactics and quality control. Nikki gave us her couple of favorite beers from Strange Roots - The Balloonist and Toucan Slam were her favorites. Beer #3 (Studio) - Double Disco - Funk Brewing (7.7% DIPA) A double version of their Silent Disco IPA. This one is hazy and hoppy. Dank and resinous tones but very crisp fruity finish. Nikki's Top 3 beer styles: Session IPAs, Stouts/Porters, Sours/Saisons/Wild ales. Jake gets back on his soapbox about how the brewery bubble is gonna burst, although he thinks Strange Roots is gonna stick around. Toward the end of the podcast, we go off topic and discuss tattoos and artwork. Beer #4 (Studio) - The Balloonist - Strange Roots (8.7% Sour Golden Ale with Orange Peel) Very carbonated. The orange peel lends to the sourness of the beer. Jake is excited about all the travel going on in the next few weeks. We stereotype the pacific northwest including bean boots, beanies and flannels. Nikki enlightens us about how the yeast in wild fermentation works. Hint: It's not an exact science but there is a lot of science involved. From there we get into the inner workings of determining alcohol content. Hydrometers and chromatography are the primary ways to measure ABV %. The debate on whether or not 100% accuracy really matters to the average beer drinker spawns out of this conversation. As we wrap up, we want to extend a huge thank you to Nikki for coming on and shooting the shit with us for an hour and a half. Look for our Christmas episode next week!

Podcast 34: The Maine Event! We're all back together and we're gonna hit it hard with some segments and anniversary parties! Abjuration and Cinderlands both celebrated 1 year this week! Shout out to @canspgh - follow them on instagram! They're posting all the can releases from local breweries so follow along and get some cans! This week's brewery of the week is Maine Beer Company! Fairly new to Pittsburgh, but you can find them at all the great spots around Pittsburgh and in Boston. Alex did his research and found out some very cool things they're a part of and how they've developed their brand. Beers: Lunch - IPA 7.0% (Jake) Another One - IPA 7.0% (Nick/Alex) Obviously we discuss the can [bottle] design and the simplicity is incredibly appealing and extremely recognizable. “Do What's Right” is Maine's motto and we discuss what that means and how they're part of the 1% to the Planet non-profit organization. Nick and Sara went to Cinderlands for their can release on Sunday after their 1 year anniversary Pajama Party on Saturday. They were first in line, btw. We discuss the can design and the anniversary glasses, which we're in love with. Saturday night Nick and Sara hit up Abjuration in McKees Rocks. If you haven't been, you need to get there. Really cool spot with super unique beers and a cool mix of independent brewing and the theatre in the building. Beers: RBWv1.1 - Rice Barleywine - 11% MIPAv1.0 - Milkshake IPA - 7.3% BA-RW v1.2 - Barrel Aged Rye Barleywine - 11.7% Abjuration still has cans of both the RBW and MIPA available. Alex wanted to make this an ASMR episode by eating a cucumber very close to the mic. So we're sorry. Sara and Nick give their reviews of the anniversary beers from Abjuration. Alex adds in his experience with Milkshake IPAs. In the mix with the milkshake IPAs we hit on Grist House's Kaboom Kandy series and how we're excited to try Kapow Kandy. Jake tells us the story of his most recent Treehouse visit. He got a new beer called Snow (a wheat double IPA) and he's really excited about it. He drank Trail Magic (German Pils) on the podcast. Jake reminisces over a year of Cinderlands and his absolute love of their beer. The next beer we sampled is called Just Baked by Hitchhiker. A beer brewed with Samoa cookies, this beer is super dark and flavorful. We launched into a conversation about our favorite Girl Scout Cookies. We set aside Just Baked and picked up Did We Just Become Best Friends? from Hoof Hearted. Thanks to Sean P! Extremely smooth and really hop forward. 8.0% DIPA Nick and Alex got a Nintendo Switch! We're playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and if you wanna play with us, DM us your gamertag and we'll add you! Nick talked about BCBS and the big beer releases. We then changed gears and discussed the Thank U, Next music video. Yeah, we did. Just tune out if you want? And of course this leads into a debate about Hallmark movies… ugh. We wrap up with a giveaway, so listen to the end this week and we appreciate all our listeners. Cheers!

Podcast 30 : Back to the Grind Nick and Alex went to Dancing Gnome. Jake had a visitor. We discuss pizza due to Alberta's and DG having a collab this week called Caligula. Jake said Leone's is no longer the best pizza near his place. Jake took our mutual friend Alexis to a bunch of places and had a much more moderate experience with drinking. Winter Hill was first on the list. Friday they hit up the new Trillium location in Seaport, a hotbed for what Boston has to offer. Beer #1 : Hop Juju - Fatheads (Imperial IPA - 9.0%) Super clear and really hop forward. We miss this kind of beer sometimes and its great to have a refreshing switch to all the hazy beers we're used to. We got off the rails a little bit and discuss our favorite Netflix comedy specials and some off of Netflix stuff too. Of course, the obligatory “Go Vote” conversation. Nick and Sara went to DG on Halloween. Costumes were very few and far between. Blue Sparrow food truck was there and they are awesome people and have GREAT food! We discuss fall/winter beers, again. Alex described his experience with Warlock from Southern Tier brewery. Beer #2 : Chameleon - Grist House (DDH NE IPA - 7.0%) Hazy and juicy, but with enough hops to keep it refreshing. Alex and Nick discuss Grist House's wide variety and the clientele. We went over some of the new beers coming up and we want to know what you guys all drank for National Stout Day! Coming up we'll be drinking a ton of stuff while we're celebrating Danks-giving. Beer #3: Oro Negro(2015) - Jackie O's Brewery (Imperial Stout with habanero - 10.5%) This one mellowed out incredibly over 3 years. There's a little bit of heat finish at the end but the balance is much nicer on this one. Sara joined in for a few minutes to try the Oro Negro. Jake has some comments on Henry Cavill's mustache which spawned a discussion of DC vs. Marvel and the movies overall. Nick, Sara and Alex attended The Community Pour at Lorelei in Bakery Square. We discuss the benefit of community and the ability to come together and support the victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting. In the end we discuss upcoming events and celebrations and we're looking forward to having some guests out and celebrating the holidays with our friends/family and of course, beer!

Sara and Nick hung out with Steve (head brewer) from Spoonwood Brewing (Pittsburgh, PA) and enjoyed Selfish Pleasure and Addict For Dramatics (Milkshake IPAs - Mocha and Vanilla respectively) We discuss coffee in beer and the wide variety of styles that can be infused with coffee. Beer #1: The Hanging Garden - Foreign Objects (7.0% IPA) Grapefruit and floral tastes make it an easy drinker for a mid tier IPA. Happy Birthday Sara! - She was mistaken for a high school student this week. Jake went to Trillium this week! He's really excited about Backlash opening soon! (We have no idea when they'll be open but they have killer beers according to Jake) Alex, Nick and Sara had a Saturday funday. They hit Dancing Gnome for Bee Balm, followed by Cinderlands (Lawrenceville, PA) and then Grist House for food and beer. Strange Roots and their sours are discussed. Alex likes their beer, but it's strange that they don't branch out more with their second location. Beer #2: Zombie Dust - 3 Floyds Brewing (6.2% Pale Ale) A very well balanced Pale Ale. Clear and malty but drinks like a west coast style ale. Jake tracked down Galactic Double Daisy Cutter in Boston which launched a conversation about Pale Ales. Shout out to Sean P. of Untappd fame for the pick up of Whole Punch: Tangerine from Hitchhiker this weekend! We hit up Cinderlands for Cosmic Cenote and it was a pickle tasting Milkshake IPA. We discuss the evolution of beer and the trends that occur including but not limited to the West Coast IPA and Milkshake IPA. Alex discusses the Hazy craze and the balance in the beer industry. We ask the important question about what is the next big trend? Hitchhiker is a great brewery and we would love for you to check them out! Great beer and great staff. Beer #3: Bee Balm - Dancing Gnome (8.5% IPA)Soft and fruity, but still hop forward... duh. Check out our follow up next week! Lots of releases and new cans incoming!
