Does purchasing an existing brewery actually make functional sense? It could include all sorts of equipment and infrastructure that you don’t want or need – and it may not be in good shape. Our guests for Episode 027 help you to untangle these and other related Equipment & Infrastructure challenges by sharing their stories, experience, and resources. Join Jon Carpenter with Openso Consulting and Owen Woods of ABS Commercial with your hosts for an hour of thoughtful insight…which includes reassurance that our craft beer community still supports and helps each other.
