Author: Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine August 19, 2025 Duration: 1:15:04

The best beer isn’t brewed in a vacuum—it’s brewed with your guests in mind. Every pour, every seasonal release, every new recipe starts with one question: What do people actually want to drink?

In this episode, we dive into how breweries are using real taproom data to answer that question—and brew what sells. From tracking style velocity to spotting daypart trends, our guests break down how they translate point-of-sale insights into production plans that make sense for their business and their fans.

Guests on this episode include:

Juan Torres, cofounder and chief operating officer, Tripping Animals (Doral, Florida)

Brandon Stirewalt, director of operations, Town Brewing (Charlotte, North Carolina)

Ben Wolff, customer success manager, Arryved (Denver)
