Podcast appearances and mentions of jacob mckean

On May 11, Brienne Allan, a brewer from Massachusetts, turned to Instagram after a bad day at work. While she was on the job, two men had questioned her expertise, and she wondered if other women in the craft beer industry had similar experiences. It turns out they had. Thousands of stories poured in, ranging from sexism to racism to sexual assault. San Diego was mentioned more than once, and Jacob McKean, the CEO of Modern Times, stepped down amid numerous allegations. Two months later, the industry is still working on the issue. Nichole Sykes is a veteran of the industry who has written about her experiences in the Union-Tribune. Veronica Beverly works at the Tap Room and is a member of a newly formed task force.

Episode 3: Jacob McKean of Modern Times Beer on Running a Rapidly Growing Startup, Creating a Utopia, and What Budweiser is Really Selling Welcome to Episode 3 of Products of the Mind. I’m excited to bring you the first full-length interview. On this episode, I speak with Jacob McKean, founder of Modern Times Beer. An Extremely Brief History of Craft Beer According to the Brewers Association, in 1978 there were 89 breweries operating in the United States. Today we’re at about 4,000, and that number is growing by about 500 per year. Basically, every day in America, a new brewery opens. Almost all of these are referred to as craft breweries, which has a complicated definition, but it basically means everything other than the big brands: Budweiser, Miller-Coors, you get the idea. Modern Times In 2013 Jacob founded Modern Times Beer and it’s been wildly successful from day 1. They keep doubling their capacity over and over again, but they still can’t make enough product to meet the demand. In the very crowded field of craft beer, Modern Times stands out, both because of the characteristics of their beer and because of their distinct branding. Most of their beers are named after historic and imaginary utopian communities. Their marketing copy reflects Jacob’s strange sense of humor. Jacob has created his own little corner of the world according to his particular vision of how things should be. He’s not afraid to share his opinions, as you’ll hear on this episode. What’s it like running a wildly successful startup on a day to day basis? How does Jacob deal with those moments when things seem to be spinning out of control? What are Jacob’s thoughts about the recent purchases of small breweries by the major beer companies? We talk about all this and more on this episode. Thanks for Checking Out Products of the Mind!
