As breweries (and brewers) grow, develop, and change, sometimes the best path forward is off. This presentation addresses how to know when it’s time to transition off of the brew deck. Speakers share their experiences and perspectives with insight into what is best for the brewer and the brewery. Not only can moving off the brew deck open opportunities for others, but it will also allow you the flexibility to focus elsewhere. Use your talents and strengths and find your new place in the brewery. You might surprise yourself – and remember…brewing is like riding a bike, you can always jump back on.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how brewing less can help your brewery grow
• Take your production expertise and experience and share with sales and marketing
• Learn to guide a team and step back to look at opportunity and strategy
• Find a balance among innovation, creation, and delegation
