Marketing? Advertising? Branding? PR? Call it what you like… the bottom line is customers need to know you exist. In this episode we start off with Adam giving us the background behind the clean look of the Reuben’s Brews logo, he tells us about the 10 by 10 test and how it helps with shelving choices, along with an overview of some early branding decisions. Then we bring our guest, Bret Hamilton, co-founder of Stone Corral Brewing out of Richmond, Vermont. Bret tells us the story behind the name Stone Corral, he talks about the effect of being around some of the big Vermont beer behemoths, and how marketing ties into the vision and environment in the brewery. 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.
