    44 - Richie Tevlin, Space Cadet | Philly's newest brewery, balancing business + science, putting career on hard mode, small batch brewing

    Richie Tevlin's sights have been set high for a long time and with launching Space Cadet Brewing, he's aspiring to earn a James Beard Award someday, not just to make tasty beer. In this episode, Richie takes us on his journey from the runway (his business degree at Penn State to Philly Brewing Co to head brewer at Victory Brewing Philly) to the launch pad (conceptualizing and opening his own brewery). We chat about how he chose the model of a small batch brewery, what profit margins look like in the industry, how he's telling a story through can art, and what it's like to be your own event planner. Listen as Philly's newest brewery takes flight.

    42 - Matt Westfall, Counter Weight | Vintage British motorcycles, brewing school, "grocery store beers", people over profit

    We all need community, and community relies on accessibility. Matt Westfall drives that point home through his Cheshire, CT, brewery, Counter Weight. A sociology major, Westfall pivoted towards hops after college, but his degree serves as a foundation for what he has come to build. With an eye towards brewing approachable, high-quality beer as well as providing a welcoming environment, Westfall has opened his space to many community partners. Whether it’s a weekend barre or yoga class, a comedy show, or trivia, Counter Weight has become a weekly hang for many people. Westfall’s plan is working: brew good and affordable beer for people who want to have something to rely on while also inviting patrons in for a multitude of events. We all need community.

    41 - Jen and John Kimmich, The Alchemist | Antiracist storytime, how to have a happy marriage, psychedelics, nonnegotiable human values

    With great power comes great responsibility. Jen and John Kimmich have that power, earned through the creation of their iconic Alchemist Brewery and equally as iconic Heady Topper and Focal Banger beers. More importantly, the pair very much understand and embrace that responsibility. This has never been just about brewing for the Kimmichs, even though John rose to fame for literally creating hazy IPA as a style. Since opening as a 60 seat pub in 2003, the Alchemist has become a brewery known worldwide for not only white whale beers, but also for their multi-platform focus on sustainability. A certified B Corp, the Alchemist has become a gold standard. Jen and John Kimmich have been at the forefront of what the craft beer industry is and what it could and SHOULD be.
