Description

This week on The True Craft Podcast, we’re joined by Brian Walker, the co-owner of Cody Craft Brewing in Cody, Wyoming. A former tech professional turned brewery owner, Brian shares how he made the leap from cybersecurity to craft beer, and how he and his team have built a destination-worthy taproom in a town of just 10,000 people.

Some highlights include:

  • Why Cody Craft never wanted to run a kitchen...and still doesn’t
  • When to say yes (and when to say no) to distribution offers
  • The state of change of craft beer and what’s causing a shift toward “beer that tastes like beer”

If you’re curious on what it takes to run a brewery in a small(er) market while growing at your own pace, this episode’s filled with stellar insight and grounded advice you’ll actually use!
