What I Learned Launching a Brewery
Matthew McLaughlin is in a very unique position right now in craft beer. On one hand he is an industry veteran helping new and established breweries navigate legal decisions. But on the other hand he is a rookie having just launched his own brewery after helping so many others do the same. So what did he learn from starting up a brewery for himself?

You can hopefully put the lessons learned as well as lessons reinforced from Matthew’s own journey towards brewery ownership to good use as you pursue opening your own brewery.
