Summary
From coffee to kombucha, wine, and spirits, there are a lot of different ways brewers are offering beverages beyond beer. There are some natural connections between some of the categories, but also a lot to learn. Often it comes with experience, passion, and a good push. This month, we're glad to be talking with Rich Michaels, who is the co-founder of Second Act Spirits in New York. As the name suggests, this is a new chapter for him and his wife Stacey. You’ll hear about his background in brewing in a moment and how he found his way into distilling and the work that goes into changing gears. There are a lot of important nuggets in this conversation that you’ll pick up along the way. If you’re thinking about adding a new fermentation program to your business or looking to make a switch, Rich is here with some guidance.
