Listen "Ep. 150 - Christian Weber of Common Roots Brewing"
Episode Synopsis
"The fire was fast moving and devastating, and even standing outside the rubble in the immediate aftermath Christian Weber knew that Common Roots would rebuild. The brewery in upstate New York had become a community hub and the loss was devastating, not only for the customers, for Weber’s family – which founded and built the brewery – but also the employees who relied on the company. So from day one Weber said they would be supported and the brewery would be back. Last week I had the chance to sit in that rebuilt brewery, now with an expanded taproom and restaurant, and to see the plans for additional growth just across the street. It’s a remarkable journey for this brewery – which is centered in the Adirondacks - but available in 10 states. Weber talks us through it all."-John Holl This Episode is Sponsored By:Harpoon BreweryDid you know that Harpoon IPA is New England’s Original IPA?Brewed in Boston and Vermont for decades by their Employee Owners.Hoppy, crisp, perfectly balanced.Harpoon IPA: New England’s Original IPA.Denver Rare Beer TastingHeading to Colorado for GABF?
