CRAFT BEER PODCAST INFO:

Brad and Kerri started B. Nektar as a side gig to take Brad’s passion of meadmaking and turn it into something fun and different.  But since 2008 the ebbs and flows of life have caused them to constantly have to audible their lives, their business plans, and what will happen in the future.  Brad talks about historical ingredient supply issues, changing his business plan from side gig to full time, and how he reacts when the market is in constant flux.  As a business owner this is a great episode to learn how to stay calm, go with the flow, and being open to adjustments has lead to the success that is B. Nektar.  We talk about different state laws for shipment and distribution and how it has effected their products too.

MICHIGAN SERIES: Having brought in guests from all over the country this past two years, we wanted to still be true to our roots, so we have began the Michigan Series. A series of Michigan Brewery owners, employees, brewers, and sales reps, talking about what is happening here in the state and what is happening at their facilities.

Ken

A craft beer fan since 19, used to look for your non-regular beers on frequent trips to downtown Windsor with friends, at 21 Ken basically took over an entire refrigerator with monthly visits to Merchants. With 5 years of podcasting prior, Ken decided to create the brand and show Better on Draft in the spring of 2015, and began creating his dream of a beer-centric website that wasn't too full of itself. He now runs the board and does a lot of the back office stuff while the show goes on, keeping everyone in line, and the beer flowing!
