128: Inside the Taproom at Brothers Craft Brewing: Crafting Community & Collaboration {Ep 128}

Laughers, get ready to dive into the fun and hip world of Brothers Craft Brewing, a popular brewery that was once a Coca-Cola bottling plant. Join us inside their taproom today as we explore their approach to creating a welcoming environment for customers at different stages of their "beer journey". Find out how they train their staff to provide a warm welcome and educate customers about different beer choices. We’ll also go behind the scenes with the tap room manager, Josh Harold, a former teacher with a theater background who shares his personal journey that led to finding his second home at Brothers Craft Brewing and much more. We learn about the brewery's variety of flagship beers, seasonal calendar, and their unique bottle club called the Horizon Society. But that's not all! Learn about their festive "Christmas in July" event where the brewery will be serving up delicious holiday-themed sour beers. Get a glimpse into their production process, how they experiment with flavors, and their popular bourbon barrel-aged Russian imperial stout called Resolute 26. As Virginia's craft beer scene continues to grow, we also explore the vibrant food and beverage community in the downtown area and exciting collaborations to do unique fusions including working with The Farmer’s Market and area non-profits for Cask For A Cause events. Plus, we get a sneak peek into upcoming events, including Oktoberfest, JMU Football Saturdays, Beer Release with The Hackens Boys and Resolute Release Day. Join us for a fun and informative episode as we raise a glass to the thriving craft beer industry in Virginia and the fascinating story behind Brothers Craft Brewing.
