Podcast appearances and mentions of john kimmich

With great power comes great responsibility. Jen and John Kimmich have that power, earned through the creation of their iconic Alchemist Brewery and equally as iconic Heady Topper and Focal Banger beers. More importantly, the pair very much understand and embrace that responsibility. This has never been just about brewing for the Kimmichs, even though John rose to fame for literally creating hazy IPA as a style. Since opening as a 60 seat pub in 2003, the Alchemist has become a brewery known worldwide for not only white whale beers, but also for their multi-platform focus on sustainability. A certified B Corp, the Alchemist has become a gold standard. Jen and John Kimmich have been at the forefront of what the craft beer industry is and what it could and SHOULD be.

Randall and Elm Streets in Waterbury felt like a raucous New Orleans funeral on Thursday. Residents and businesses lost so much when the waters of the Winooski River inundated parts of the downtown, flooding some 40 homes and six businesses. But scores of volunteers came from everywhere to give so much back.Prohibition Pig, the popular restaurant and brewery at the corner of Elm Street and Main Street, was the center of cleanup activity. By midday, the staff were serving free food and pizza donated by American Flatbread. A who's who of Vermont craft beer brewers, including John Kimmich, owner of the Alchemist brewery — which operated a pub that was flooded out of this location when Tropical Storm Irene hit in 2011 — dropped off coolers full of beer for the volunteers. A public works crew from St. Albans drove around with a giant vacuum truck — dubbed the “suck truck” by grateful residents – that pumped out flooded basements, a backbreaking job that took days when Irene flooded these same homes.Behind the celebratory vibe, there was also a somber reality. ProPig would be closed for the foreseeable future and owner Eric Warnstedt had to tell its 49 employees that they were laid off. The brewery was flooded and 3,000 gallons of their famous craft beer was lost.But the buzz, enhanced by the excellent beer, was palpable.I spent Thursday walking around the neighborhood talking to the people who were hard at work and elbows deep in mud.

This week Jonathan Ellsworth was back at The Alchemist in Stowe, VT, to sit down with its founders, Jen and John Kimmich, to dive into their philosophy on sustainability — in all of its forms — and to hear how they created a company that is leading the way on a number of these fronts. It's an impressive story driven by shared principles, and we hope this conversation serves as an inspiration to other companies across many sectors. (And of course, along the way, we also talk a good bit about making great beer and keeping the bar high.)TOPICS & TIMES:When did you get interested in sustainability?

Jim Conroy, Lead Brewer from The Alchemist, joins us to talk about the brewery and the beer that basically changed the craft beer landscape. Jim walks us through his beginnings with The Alchemist and how they struggled to keep up with production, up to now as they have expanded and have been able to make more beer. We talk about old school lot beers, how Heady has become the official beer of Phish lots, and what the future holds for The Alchemist.

After numerous failed attempts, we finally caught up with the legendary Fred Cormier of Hopfenstark at his taproom and bar, Station Ho.st, situated between The Village and Le Plateau neighbourhoods. Fred has been brewing for a long time, he came up with some of the most lauded brewers in Vermont like Shawn Hill, John Kimmich and Sean Lawson, and brews some exceptionally made beers out of his new expanded production facility. We ran through a ton of beers on a snowy Tuesday afternoon, and the chat was so fun we were almost hit 3 hours. Stick around, it's worth it.

she didn’t want to compete with Sam Adams and the other great beers 25:15 – She found that there wasn’t a craft alternative to Bud, Miller, Coors, or Corona; she decided that she wanted a light beer 25:49 – New Century Brewing Company was created, and the beer was called Edison; it was made from scratch to be light, not watered down 26:15 – She launched it on the eve of 9/11 and that started her 10-year “doom loop” 26:35 – She ran into a lawsuit from the Edison family which ultimately led her to close down the business 27:00 – She incorporated New Century Brewing company while literally on the way to the hospital to deliver her 3rd child 27:38 – The capital markets were a mess during that time; she spent $70,000 fighting for the Edison name 28:30 – She discovered that she had stage 3 breast cancer and that she needed a mastectomy 29:11 – She created the first ever premium beer with caffeine, Moonshot; they patented the process of adding caffeine to ale 29:50 – Dr. Owades was dying and referred her to someone else who used their patent to make Four Loco and Panther Juice drinks 31:03 – The FDA banned those 2 companies and hers because they were using her patent 31:55 – Her eldest brother passed away suddenly during this “doom loop” time as well 32:25 – In 2012 Rhonda raised $2 Million to kick off Boston Harbor Distillery 32:48 – Origins of Boston Harbor Distillery and why Rhonda made the switch to whiskey 33:00 – When the FDA started their inquiry, no one came to her support and she lost heart in the beer industry 33:55 – She was always a whiskey drinker; to her, whiskey is the evolution of beer 34:35 – Whiskey as the next emerging category 34:53 – Spirits have been stealing share from beer for the last couple of decades; beer is flat (no growth) except in craft, which has slowed substantially 35:25 – Whiskey is picking up that consumption; Putnam whiskey (rye and single-malt) is like beer (grain-forward) 36:30 – Putnam whiskey offers a grain taste that give a spicy smoothness 37:03 – They distill 5 varieties of Sam Adams beer twice, make their cuts, lay it in used barrels, and get the amplified flavors of the beer in their whiskey (230 gallons of whiskey from 3,000 gallons of beer) 38:10 – They call it the “Spirit of Boston” 38:30 – Jim is personally supportive, but they don’t spend too much time together 38:55 – She now has a coffee liquor that has more caffeine and alcohol than Moonshot ever did; this is a much better decade than the last 39:28 – Rhonda’s vision: She wants to be both locally revered and nationally acclaimed; she believes the two don’t need to be exclusive 39:45 – The beauty of whiskey is that it stays good for a long time and can go anywhere 40:23 – She is focused on being part of the community; they are in a beautiful historical building that has history 40:55 – They have to go through lots of hoops just to get to the consumer; in the 1980s it was easy to get through, today is so different because you can get anything anywhere 41:55 – You have to believe that what is inside the bottle is better than anything else you can get 42:38 – Rhonda feels like she’s been training for this role for her entire life and she’s found her passion in whiskey 43:05 – She’s had a decades-old love affair with alcohol; she loves the complexity, layering, flavors, how it’s made, the ingredients, how it tastes, and its effects 43:25 – At her core, she’s an entrepreneur; she believes in herself and her abilities enough to take the risk 44:20 – Her journey from secretary to executive of a billion dollar company (and as a woman) 44:36 – It’s lonely and hard; she feels like if she was a part of the “boy’s club” she’d be a lot further ahead 45:03 – This year was the first time that she felt an emerging support system for female entrepreneurs so she’s excited for the future and what it looks like for women 45:40 – EO support system for women; Rhonda would a great mentor, inspiration, and role model for women 46:50 – What drives Rhonda to prove herself; what’s broken that makes her want to keep getting up 47:45 – She believes in herself and doesn’t have financial freedom so she has to work and figures she should in an industry she knows 48:00 – Her grandparents were immigrants that came with nothing and were survivors; she believes that burning sensation to succeed is in her DNA 48:50 – How to try Putnam Whiskey and Rhonda’s other products: Go on their website or visit their distillery in Boston Key Points:     Don’t let challenges stop you from moving forward and pursuing your dreams. Believing in your product and it’s quality will make you stand out in a time where the consumer can get anything anywhere. Know yourself and your abilities and use your passion to fuel your mission.

Our guests are Jen and John Kimmich of The Alchemist in Waterbury, Vermont. NOTE: you're a d-bag if you don't recycle, call John Kimmich up asking for his recipe for Heady Topper and/or call Cori out for every incorrect thing she said during this show. Rough start on this one.... Corrections: Producer Tyler, not Producer Matt. The Alchemist is located in Waterbury, not Hardwick. Waterbury, Vermont is 2.5-3 HOURS outside of Boston, not 3 minutes! :::FACEPALM::: I've been a bit discombobulated since Matt's exit (compounded by some really cool UMH-related stuff that I can't share just yet), but I am pretty sure I've found my groove with my new guys now... Uh, I hope! More importantly, the Kimmichs are completely lovely and their Heady Topper is as good as everyone says it is! C. Music: Juice - Keep It Moving
