Ep. 79 - Chris Powers (Trophy Brewing)

Back in the Fall, I made my way back to my home state of North Carolina which is where I met up with today’s guest, Chris Powers. Much in the way of previous guest, David Weiss, Chris and I realized we’d met before at the store I had been working at right after college. Today, Chris owns Trophy Brewing, one of my favorite Breweries in North Carolina. Having worked for large companies as well as some more local establishments, Chris took his expertise into a fairly casual conversation with a friend about starting their own thing, and well, they certainly made that happen. Trophy has grown somewhat exponentially since they started, and it was not only fun to learn a bit about the beer world of Raleigh, but also to get into the weeds of how to start such a business. Chris was incredibly open regarding sharing information about their 4-person partnership, the acquisitions of real estate and how Trophy plans to keep reaching the tastebuds of those in & around the Southeast. We also discuss their new distillery and later touch on Chris’s history with cars, being a dad, and automotive-inspired pizza? You’ll hear about it...Links:STANDARD Hhttps://standard-h.com/@standardh_@standardh_podcastTrophy Brewinghttps://www.trophybrewing.com/@trophybrewingChris Powers@powershourPassion Fine Jewelryhttps://passionfinejewelry.com/@passionfinejewelryIndependent in Timehttps://www.independentintime.com/@independentintime This is a public episode.
