<p>These are confusing times, and hard times to work in a small business. As Bart Watson of the <a href="https://www.brewersassociation.org/">Brewers Association</a> recently said, beer makers really dislike uncertainty. So, how can anyone plan when the global supply chain is changing minute by minute? On this epidode we talk about how to budget for the unknown.</p><p> <br>The last few months have seen a fire hose of news coming out of Washington D.C., a lot centered around tariffs and global trade. Admittedly, it’s difficult to do a show on the topic because of the chaotic nature of the rollout from the White House and how seemingly concrete plans crumble minutes after they are announced. </p><p><br></p><p>This obviously creates uncertainty in the markets and on main street. This episode features two conversations that center around what might be coming and how to best prepare. Bart Watson the president and CEO of the Brewers Association talks about the bigger picture and then Audra Gaiziunas of <a href="https://brewedforherledger.com/">Brewed for Her Ledger</a> tells us how you can best budget for uncertainty. </p><p><strong>The BYO Nano Podcast</strong> <strong>Episode 64 is sponsored by:</strong></p><p><a href="http://rahrbsg.com/gambrinus-ipa-malt/"><strong>RahrBSG / Gambrinus IPA Malt</strong></a><br>Gambrinus IPA Malt possesses an elusive color falling between very pale pilsner and golden pale ale malt.

<p>How can your brewery make the most out of the holidays? More than just slinging stout on St. Patrick’s Day, or a festbier during Oktoberfest, there are ways to create a welcoming vibe that will get people coming back year after year and can establish your brewery as a hospitable spot.</p><p>One person who has been working to crack the code is Sam McNulty. He has developed and operates seven restaurants and breweries on West 25th Street in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland's Near West Side. </p><p>Three of these concepts are brewpubs of vastly different scale: One a nano brewery where experimental beers are concocted, while another is a brewpub restaurant with close to five hundred seats, and in 2016 he rebuilt a 43,000 square foot warehouse that dates back to the 1800s and launched a full-scale production brewery sending <a href="https://www.marketgardenbrewery.com/">Market Garden Brewery</a> beers out across Northeast and Central Ohio.</p><p><br></p><p>He has lived largely car-free in Ohio City for the past 20+ years. And one of his guiding investment principles is to nest his businesses within a 15-minute bicycle ride from the Market Garden Brewery. As one of his former professors once said: “Sam is a beer entrepreneur fermenting the rise of a post-industrial frontier with opportunity galore. Sam is building on the Pride of Cleveland.”</p><p><strong>The BYO Nano Podcast</strong> <strong>Episode 63 is sponsored by:<br></strong><a href="https://fermentis.com/en/"><strong>Fermentis</strong></a><strong><br></strong>How can you make your beer stand out?

<p>While it is rewarding and exciting to own a small brewery, there is also a lot of worry that comes with it. Over time things can snowball, accumulate, and become a burden. Regular check-ins on mental health are important, and no matter who you are in the brewing space, or your role, taking care of yourself is paramount. That’s the focus on this episode. </p><p>Everyone is feeling the stress these days. From outside influences to internal worry, everyone is carrying a lot of weight on their shoulders. If you’re running a small business, the worry of your staff is on you as well. While there are many things in our control, there are also a lot of things that are simply not easily dealt with. Finding balance from within and managing what you can is important to mental health. Being pulled in a dozen different directions all at once rarely brings calm, but by focusing on what you can control and finding the moments - or longer - to take a break adds up to a better human experience. Of course there are other considerations to mental health in the beer space, and other challenges to navigate. </p><p><br></p><p>To get a better understanding on what is available out there and how to best access it, we're pleased to be joined by <a href="https://www.brewersassociation.org/author/j-jackson-beckham/">J Jackson-Beckham</a>, the Director of Member Resources for the Brewers Association, better known in the industry as Dr. J.</p><p><br></p><p>A former professor of Communication Studies, Dr. J dedicated her academic career to the study of American beer. She is an author, speaker, vocal advocate for the craft beverage community, homebrewer, and Certified Cicerone. In 2018, Dr. J was named the Brewers Association's first-ever Diversity Ambassador. In 2020, she was named Imbibe Magazine's Beer Person of the Year. Today, she helps craft beverage organizations develop practices that drive success, build communities, and empower individuals as the Brewers Association Director of Member Resources.</p><p><br><strong>The BYO Nano Podcast</strong> <strong>Episode 62 is sponsored by:<br></strong><br></p><p><a href="http://rahrbsg.com/gambrinus-ipa-malt/"><strong>RahrBSG / Gambrinus IPA Malt</strong></a><br>Gambrinus IPA Malt possesses an elusive color falling between very pale pilsner and golden pale ale malt.
