The Beer Mighty Things Podcast Kyle C. Rheiner

Since 2024 is going to take some paying attention and improvement to drive revenues and create margins, we're bringing in Dan Hornbrook of BrewLogix to help guide us on this journey.



We're discussing the Brewlogix platform and the evolution of serving the craft community in the on-premise world, emphasizing how their FREE marketing tool "Market My Brewery" has helped brewers promote their brand, location, and products to consumers, ultimately driving consumer traffic.



We're highlighting how the Brewlogix draft management system provides real-time data, automated inventory management, and the potential for increased efficiency and time savings for brewery operators.


Dan and I drilled down on Sensor Technology and how BrewLogix can detect unauthorized weight changes, inventory planning and overall beer quality.

After thoroughly enjoying a number of delicious beers from this brewery, I had to connect with Steve Parker, Co-Founder & Head Brewer of Fidens Brewing Company (Albany, NY)


We jump into Steve's love of beer and taking the leap from Phys-Ed teacher to professional brewer and business owner.

Due to the pandemic, their business plan had to shift from taproom to a to-go model, and that created an unexpected surge in demand.

We discuss the challenges of managing the taproom, and expanding at the right time and pace. The demand was so great, so quickly, that customers were sleeping in the parking lot!

We discuss inspirations, such as Tree House, Trillium, Bissell Brothers, and Other Half and we also hit on the the evolving trends in the beer industry, including the growing popularity of lower alcohol options and the exploration of new hop varieties.

Steve emphasized the significance of finding the right staff and prioritizing quality over quantity, highlighting the impact on sales and customer satisfaction.

Lots of great tidbits in this one, enjoy!

I had to repost! This was a fun conversation from St. Patrick's Day 2022 with the team at Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore MD. I have since visited and was welcomed with open arms.

In this episode, we're talking with the National Brand Ambassador, Ryan Wagner and Head Brewer of the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Baltimore Maryland, Sean Brennan.

First things first, we pronounce “Sláinte” properly and what it actually means.  We discuss the history of the Nitro Pour, a 9,000 year lease (!) and the Guinness Book of World Records.  The more you know!

We dive into the plethora of breweries Guinness has that you didn't know about, including Open Gate in MD, their 1,000,000 visitor(!) and all of the 20+ other beers you were unaware of.  Oh, and they have a new brewery in Chicago, IL!

Happy St. Patty's Day and, well, Slainte!
