Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hopleaf, 34 Years and Counting
Q: Way back, Detroit starting in the industry, what was it like and what got you started in the first place?
I started as a waiter and then a night manager in Detroit bars, fell in love with tavern life, and gradually built experience that showed me hospitality beats and where I wanted to take it—toward a place focused on beer, community, and atmosphere rather than just being another generic bar.
The Preiss is Right
Q: How did you start and grow the business with a lean team?
Henry explains starting with delivering and learning through hard knocks, gradually gaining licenses, and building a focused team around strong brand relationships, which enabled 50 distributors nationwide.
Live From Lone Tree
Q: What keeps your core IPAs focused on drinkability and a West Coast profile despite market trends?
The guest explains a deliberate emphasis on a dry, hop-forward West Coast IPA with clear goals around balance and drinkability, while acknowledging occasional forays into hazy or other styles, but maintaining a core identity based on tradition and palate response.
Live From Lone Tree
Q: How do you approach new staff training and ensuring quality in a busy production environment?
The guest emphasizes first teaching that it's okay to screw up, then focusing on mastering one task at a time, building problem-solving ability in packaging, and maintaining a culture that values humility, continuous learning, and consistent process control.
Live From Lone Tree
Q: So let's take me back to the beginning. When did you come in and how did the early beers evolve?
The guest describes meeting John, the founder, over 20 years ago, and discusses starting with a diverse slate of beers including Helles, Belgian Blonde, Irish Red, and an American Stout, establishing a well-rounded base and the adaptation to local markets over time.
