S4E1 Crypto, NFTs, and Augmented Reality With Four Saints Brewing Company

S4E1 Crypto, NFTs, and Augmented Reality With Four Saints Brewing Company

Author: Small Batch Standard January 3, 2022 Duration: 53:40
Welcome back to The True Craft Podcast! We’re kicking off Season 4 with two main changes: First, this season will be about the conversation. In other words, no main topics for each episode. Instead, we let the natural flow of the conversation happen, and we really think you’ll like the result. The second change is there’s no co-host for this season, so just Chris and a guest brewery owner. Our first guest brewery owner of the season may seem familiar… We’re starting off Season 4 with a bang and welcoming back Joel McClosky from Four Saints Brewing Company. We start the episode off by taking a look at the unique event Four Saints held in their taproom last year, an interesting discussion on cryptocurrency, NFTs, and AR in the brewing industry, along with their plan to incorporate cocktails into the Four Saints portfolio. 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.
