What does it take to start a tap room and brewery that is loved by the local community but can also run as a sustainable business?
Beer and brewing is a hobby for many, but taking it to the next level and making a living out of it is a big step. It's one that John Jackson did not take lightly.
John's brewery and taproom - Wild Parrot Brewing Company in Pasadena, California, USA - took a while to go from concept to actuality, because he took his time and did it right.
His story is fascinating and funny at times, but also instructive and thought-provoking. Beer and community are in his heart, but his head is screwed on tight.
There are brewing, business and life lessons galore in this episode... plus once you've listened, you'll truly understand why "pandemonium" is in the title of the episode.
Enjoy.
