How NOT To Start A Damn Brewery: the podcast
Kelly KfM MeyerPeople of Earth, I would like to welcome you to the How NOT To Start a Damn Brewery: the podcast. In this podcast I consider it my duty to share the sometimes gory but always honest truth hidden in the craft beer industry. Mainly that it rarely operates like a business. Margins are trash, distributors are garbage and capital expenditures are a raging dumpster fire. But many of the people are badas... more

- Good In Short Bursts
The good: It’s nice hearing other people’s experience in the industry and hearing people excited about work they produced
The bad: The host doesn’t push back on guests at all. Always lobbing the same questions every episode, getting the same answers every episode, and not diving deeper than surface level. Every guest has the exact same story i.e. I didn’t want to brew beers people liked and am shocked I closed, blaming Untapped, blaming their location, blaming landlords, customers, etc., and th... more

From the episodes I’ve listened to, it just seems like a pitty party of the exact people that should have never opened a brewery to begin with and blaming outside factors more so than the fact they are more the reason things failed.

Apple Podcasts5cwoodley987United Statesa year ago - Extremely insightful
My ADHD took me down the brewing path and I’m currently in brew school at Saint Louis University. I started this podcast around June this year to really hone in on the business aspects of brewing. I’ve recently finished listing to every single episode and feel well equipped with the knowledge that I need. I wouldn’t say I was convinced not to start a brewery, but I just won’t at this moment. I’ve learned about the market and margins of brewing and now just isn’t a good time to take the leap.

Apple Podcasts5Leadership Dr.United States2 years ago - Absolutely no value to be found
The most negative piece of media I’ve ever heard. I get the concept and understand the baseline of what this show is trying to do, but it goes far past that and is insulting to an entire industry.
In the spirit of this show, I’ll continue my review in the same vein of its episodes: The host sounds, and talks, like he’s a pre-teen in the midst of puberty. Every guest can be summarized into 3 talking points: “1: I refused to make beers people would drink even though I know I should have. 2: The en... more
