S3E2 Creativity In Chaos With Sanitas Brewing Company

Author: Small Batch Standard August 23, 2021 Duration: 1:32:40
For the first two seasons we’ve reserved the second episode to discuss what we called atypical times, but things have changed since then. Depending on where you are, things may be returning to “normal.” So today we’re talking about this post-COVID world we live in. Adam tells us what he considers one of the most important factors from lockdown times, how distributors reacted to closing down, and the chaos of adopting a COVID-puppy. Then we bring our guest, Michael Memsic, co-founder and CEO of Sanitas Brewing Company out of Boulder, Colorado. Michael tells us some of the creative ideas they utilized to adapt to the shutdowns (including an adult ice cream truck), about the new territory of working with way more liquor and grocery stores, and a bonus EOS geek-out session. Enjoy!

Every week on The True Craft Podcast, hosts Chris Farmand and Katy Noel pull up a chair for the kind of frank talk you’d usually only get in a private office or after hours at a trade show. This isn’t about surface-level success stories. Instead, each episode features a genuine conversation with a craft business owner, digging into the real and often messy details of running an operation. You’ll hear about the specific hurdles they’ve faced, the unexpected opportunities they’ve seized, and the tough, daily decisions that define life as an entrepreneur in this hands-on world. Created by Small Batch Standard, the podcast serves as an essential resource for practitioners who want to move beyond theory and into the practical realities of management and growth. The discussions are grounded, insightful, and focused entirely on the experiences of people who are actually doing the work, making it a unique listen for anyone building a business with their own hands. Tune in for a dose of honesty and actionable perspective that cuts straight to the heart of what it means to be a craft owner today.
