Podcast appearances and mentions of ryan soroka

Self-described "entre-brew-neur" Ryan Soroka is president and co-founder of the successful 8th Wonder Brewery, based in Houston's vibrant "EaDo" neighborhood. Hospitality graduate school and a passion for beer took him on his journey from home brewing to running a food truck to launching a popular brewery and brew pub.   Upon graduation from university, Ryan began his career in corporate finance, but after acknowledging his true calling, he pursued and earned a master's degree in hospitality management at the Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston. "Graduate school built my confidence and solidified my passion for this industry," says Ryan. It is also where he met his future business partner Aaron Corsi. "There was a natural progression in my business planning from food truck to brick and mortar restaurant and brewpub to brewery," adds Ryan.   In its 10th year of business, 8th Wonder produces a wide variety of classic beers and ales, including seasonal offerings. More recently, 8th Wonder has successfully expanded into spirits distillery under the brand 8 times Vodka and Texas Whiskey, as well as a line of non-alcoholic offerings under the brand  Wonderwaters.    In this episode, Ryan explains how he and his team manage a successful brewery operation — including production, taproom service, onsite events, product development, and community marketing.
