E113: De-Risking Craft Beer with Charlie Berger of Wilding Brands
In this episode, we sit down with Charlie Berger, co-founder of Denver Beer Company and now one of the minds behind Wilding Brands—the growing group that includes Denver Beer Co, Stem Ciders, Funkwerks, Howdy Beer, Great Divide Brewing Company, and (breaking news!) Station 26 Brewing Company.
Charlie shares how he and his team are bringing together some of Colorado’s most beloved breweries and cider makers to build something stronger, together.
Highlights include:
* What product diversity in a taproom looks like in 2025
* The 3-part growth strategy behind their next moves (hint: innovation, retail, and M&A)
* How Wilding Brands is helping “de-risk” the future of craft
As Charlie puts it, “I haven’t been this excited about the industry in years.”
At a time when many breweries are feeling the pressure, this episode offers a different kind of roadmap.
