Finding Purpose in Every Pint with Megan Greenwood

Today, I'm talking to Megan Greenwood, founder of Greenwood Brewing, where she's making woman-owned, woman-inspired real beer for all.  Megan was an enthusiast and a homebrewer before venturing on her own as an entrepreneur. So, how did she get from Boston to Phoenix and from 8 taps in a garage to 14 taps downtown?  In this episode, Megan shares the story of her entrepreneurial journey, the challenges she faced along the way, and why beer has to be better than good to succeed in an ever-crowded industry.     Key takeaways: How homebrewing went from a hobby to a profession for Megan–and why her backgrounds in industrial engineering and manufacturing proved hugely helpful.   The steps Megan took to get her product into bars and to customers when she didn't have her own facility.  How Megan found power in telling her business's unique story in a male-dominated industry.  What happened when Megan was finally ready to open at the height of the COVID pandemic.  How Megan navigated growing pains as her business grew, manages an ever-growing staff, and continues to create opportunities for herself and her staff.    Interview Resources Greenwood Brewing  Greenwood Brewing on Facebook  | X/Twitter | Instagram | Pinterest Megan Greenwood on LinkedIn | Instagram Samuel Adams Boston Lager Sierra Nevada Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Fat Tire First Draft Book Bar Fresh Start Women's Foundation
