On today's episode of the Let's Meet For a Beer Podcast, I met up with Jen Rogers - Chief Awesome Officer, Brewer, and Founder of  Wild Winds Brewery. Jen has already had an amazing journey in the beer industry - she's worked at Village Brewery, Last Best Brewery, Railyard Brewery, and back to Village.  Jen is now building her own brewery - Wild Winds Brewery - with her husband Tim in Pincher Creek, Alberta.  What's even more impressive is that Jen only graduated from the Olds College Brewmaster Program in 2019 … with distinction of course!Jen grew up in Newfoundland and moved to Alberta after graduating from Memorial University.  After working in Oil & Gas for years, Jen and her husband Tim decided to follow their dreams and start a brewery.  After years of research, additional education at Olds College, and practical experience at various craft breweries, they have finally secured financing and are ready to make their dreams come true!Pincher Creek will be the home of Wild Winds Brewery, which Jen is hopeful will be operational in 2022.  They fell in love with the town while touring the province - and it sounds like the town is pretty excited to be home to a brewery soon too!  With a passion for outdoor activities like snowboarding and hiking, Pincher Creek is the perfect basecamp for Jen and Tim.  I'm excited for their new adventure and grateful that Jen shared her story with me on the podcast - I hope you enjoy it!Alberta Beer Festivals: website | twitter | instagramWild Winds Brewery : website | twitter | instagram

This episode of Branding Matters is a little different. The conversation takes a bit of a detour away from branding and veers into more of a spiritual direction. The reason being is that just over 4 years ago, my guest was given one year to live. But against all odds, this unicorn is still here and living what he describes as “a life with purpose.” His name is Jim Button, and he is the Co-Founder of one of Calgary's favourite breweries - Village Brewery. A true leader in marketing and community building, Jim's passion for community investment has earned him impressive accolades which include a philanthropy award from the Canadian Association of Fundraising Professionals, TWO “Top 40 Under 40” awards with Avenue Magazine, and Community Builder of the Year award from the Alberta Small Brewers Association, just to name a few. I invited Jim to be a guest on my show today to discuss why he thinks it takes a village to build a brand. I also wanted to discuss Jim's new fundraising program that focuses on the mental health of kids living with cancer. 

For today's episode of the Let's Meet For a Beer Podcast, I met with the two newest members of Village Brewery - Jeff Popeil (their newly appointed President) and Fraser Abbott, (Vice President Marketing & Community).  We discuss the brewery's legacy and what the future looks like, as Village Brewing prepares to celebrate 10 years of brewing beer in Calgary!Jeff's diverse background includes experience in the food industry with Tropicana Pepsico and the Campbell Soup Company, to working with Beakerhead Creative Society as their President.  This range of experience will all come into play with Village and makes him a great fit to be their new President.  For Jeff, this new chapter in his life is very personal, as he put it, “Village is more than just a company - to me, it represents a philosophy.”I've known Fraser Abbott for a few years and I was excited when I found out that he was joining Village.  Fraser and Jim Button (Village Brewing Co-Founder) have been friends for a long time and I think that Fraser will bring a certain intangible quality to the brewery that Jim is famous for.  As Fraser commented, “Our main task is to find ways to build on this impressive foundational legacy and continue to lead.”  No pressure Fraser!!Like many companies, Village Brewing is working through some challenging times.  I am grateful that Jeff and Fraser took time to share their stories with me - I hope you enjoy the conversation.Alberta Beer Festivals: website | twitter | instagramAlberta Small Brewers Association: website | twitter | instagram | facebook |

Andrew and Damon, the brothers behind Common Crown Brewing, join The ABF Podcast to share the story of their journey that has resulted in being recognized as the 2020 Canadian Brewery of The Year!Their interest in brewing beer started years ago with Damon's passion for home brewing.  Always a loving brother, Damon was nice enough to let Andrew help pay for the equipment and clean kegs so that he felt like he was contributing.  Their love for making beer grew, and in 2014 the brothers made the decision to start a brewery.  From the beginning, they knew they would need help to make their vision a reality and visited some of the new startups that were opening in Calgary at the time.  The brothers recall how critical breweries like The Dandy Brewing Company, Tool Shed Brewing, and Village Brewery were to their early success.  At one point Damon remembers saying to Andrew, “If everyone is like this then starting a brewery is not something we should do - it's something we have to do.”  Finally, in November of 2016, Common Crown poured their first pint and the dream became a reality.  Because the brothers didn't have experience in the beer industry, they knew that they needed to build a strong team to succeed.  With their Tagline of “Team One”, Damon and Andrew have built a strong culture with buy-in from people in all areas of the company from production to packaging and sales.  Their goal is to continue to make beer that is true to style and that everyone who is part of the Common Crown team can be proud of.  Common Crown Brewing is an important part of Alberta's beer community and well-deserving of their title as the 2020 Canadian Brewery of the Year.  —Alberta Beer Festivals: website | Twitter | InstagramCommon Crown Brewing: website | Twitter | Instagram | facebook

On today's show, we explore the science and art of brewing beer through the reuse of safely treated wastewater. The University of Calgary and its Advancing Canadian Wastewater Assets (ACWA) program teamed up with Village Brewery in Calgary and Xylem to create a batch of blonde ale, made possible with advanced water treatment technologies from Xylem. Guests Christine O’Grady of the University of Calgary, Jackson Stuart of Village Brewery, and Stephen Rothwell and Kevin Flis of Xylem discuss how the partnership came to be, the beer they developed, how it can be used to help change perceptions of reuse water, and more.

This episode we're joined by Jim Button of Village Brewery and later by Luke Harford of Beer Canada.Jim Button says that he was lucky to learn early on that he was a bridge, or a conduit. He takes pride in the fact that he is the one to connect people, which is why he always "knows a guy." With that in mind, it makes sense that Jim is one of the masterminds behind Village Brewery, and as he goes on to tell us, beer isn't just a social lubricant, it is a currency of its own. Later in the interview, Jim opens up about his journey with cancer, and how his blog Gather With Jim has helped him and others in their journey.In the second half of this episode, Luke Harmon of Beer Canada discusses his tenured history with the organization, the goals of Beer Canada, and the surprising fact that cheese pairs better with beer than wine! "It's an exciting time for beer," in no small part due to the work that Luke and his regional partners do to make time to answer questions for any brewer who calls, whether they're a member or not.letsmeetforabeer.comalbertabeerfestivals.comvillagebrewery.comgatherwithjim.combeercanada.com
