Becca and I stopped by the local drive-in and got a root beer float the other day. I always take home some root beer by itself when we go. You can see the product in this video. B & K Root Beer Stand is one of those old school drive-in, eat in your car type places from the 50’s and 60’s. When your product and your brand are so good and so old, You can sell your it in clear plastic milk jugs, And people still know what it is. B&K has been in business for 85 years. This is an amazing accomplishment for ANY businesss. Average age of a Fortune 500 company? 15 years. That’s an amazing figure to me. That means there are things I can learn from a business like B&K that I can’t learn from one of the big companies. IMHO, the first place to start is the product. It’s the best root beer I’ve ever tasted, and that fact has kept me coming back my entire life. Literally. When Becca and I bought this house, one of the deciding factors was its proximity to our B&K Rootbeer Stand. No joke. It wasn’t the most important thing, but it was a deciding factor. It’s a e-bicycle ride away now! I can’t believe my good fortune. #StayinAliveWithRootbeer 🫚🍺 Music by: The Bee Gee’s, “Stayin’ Alive”

🌩️ Hey LinkedIn Community! 🍻 As some of you might know, we at Big Storm Brewing Co. have been on an exciting journey. Over the past three years, we've expanded beyond brewing to embrace the art of distilling spirits. It's been an amazing ride, and now we're at a crossroads about our brand identity. We're contemplating a name change to better reflect our dual passion for brewing and distilling, and we'd love to hear your thoughts! Here are some ideas we've been brewing up: (1) Stick with Big Storm Brewing Co (obviously doesn't tell the story of what we do beyond beer), (2) Transition to Big Storm Brewing and Distilling Co. (long, wordy, and god for bid what happens when we launch cider in 2024), (3) Drop the products entirely and only go as Big Storm, (4) some hybrid of the words like Big Storm BrewStillery (met with a lot of hate internally lol). But hey, these are just our initial thoughts. We're open to suggestions and would love to hear any creative ideas you might have. What name (listed above or entirely new) do you think captures the essence of our expanded venture(s)? Your insights and opinions are incredibly valuable to us. After all, it's not just about a name; it's about the story we're telling and the community we're building. Drop your suggestions, thoughts, or any wild ideas in the comments. tagging some of our trade associations in case someone knows another company that went through this conversation as their insight would be very helpful. Brewers Association American Craft Spirits Association (ACSA) American Distilling Institute Looking forward to some great conversations! Cheers! 🥃🍺 #BigStormBrewery #NameChange #CommunityFeedback #BrewingAndDistilling #CraftSpirit #CraftBeer

Forbes Best Beer Books Of The Year has awarded First Place to 'Ted Mack and America's First Black-Owned Brewery: The Rise and Fall of Peoples Beer' by Clint Lanier. "Beer has existed as long as society has. Often, the history of people can be linked to the history of beer. Written by Clint Lanier, assistant professor of English at New Mexico State University, this NAGBW-winning book tells the story of Ted Mack, who was born a sharecropper, but would eventually purchase the Peoples Brewing Company of Oshkosh, WI. Extensively researched and beautifully written, this book is as much about overcoming hardship and entrepreneurism as it is about beer." @forbes Available for purchase on Amazon. Crack a beer and read a book🍻
