The Session No. 75: The Business of Brewing

Holy hell does it feel like last months Sessions post was just last week. April's was a good topic as is the one for May. I'm just not sure if I have much to contribute.

The May edition of The Session is penned by Chuck Lenatti of All Brews. His subject? The business of brewing beer. I've certainly assisted in many of mine and my father's homebrew concoctions. I've also certainly fantasized about being a brewer. After all, don't we look at a lot of our local brewers as if their athletes or celebrities? At least it comes off that way to me.

The closest I've come to gong all-in and starting a brewery is telling my father to stop being delusional and to snap back into reality. He'll consistently spew off into his own tangent claiming we should start a brewpub/brewery. That's definitely not happening anytime soon.

If the beer selection was up to me, it would mostly be pumpkin and blueberry ales. We would be running to the bank really fast. Thankfully there are braver people out there than I. They can also make some awesome beer.

To make it short and sweet, I have no business being in the actual business of brewing commercially. I'd much rather leave it to the professionals.
