About this episode
The episode discusses expanding a brewery's beverage options and outdoor taproom spaces with guest Chelsea Rhodes from Alley Brewing.
Expanding your brewery's beverage program beyond beer can be tricky, but rewarding as a way to widen your customer audience. Expanding your physical footprint from indoors to outdoors when weather allows can also be a challenge with similar business rewards when done well. On this episode we have a conversation with Chelsea Rhodes of Alley Brewing in Denver about how and why a Nano brewery can also offer much more than beer on the menu and the evolution of using outdoor taproom spaces in better weather.
