Craft. Community. Karma. In this episode of Talk of the Town, Von sits down with Shaun Reeves, Founder and Director of Hip Hops Brewers in Brendale. Shaun shares his inspiring journey from business advisor to brewery owner, offering insight into his transition into the world of craft beer and the challenges and success he faced along the way. We also dive into an important conversation about men’s mental health, as Shaun discusses his own personal struggles and the motivation behind his vision for the brewery playing a role in fostering these tough but vital conversations. The brewery aims to be a place to hold events like the upcoming, The Great Mate Check-In - a community initiative aimed at encouraging men to open up about their mental health.


Join us as we explore the intersection of business, brewing, and mental well-being, and learn how Hip Hops Brewers has become more than just a place for great beer, but a space for meaningful conversations and community connection.
