Show Notes

Today on the show, I’m joined by Air Force Veteran Kevin Mead, from 1700 Brewing , A Veteran-Owned Nano Brewery based in Newport News, Virginia, that offers a high turnover on fresh brews with a relaxing atmosphere. Kevin is one of four co-founders, all military veterans, that came together to bootstrap the business, instead of taking out a loan. All the owners share a passion for brewing and drinking beer, and decided to launch the company while still maintaining their full-time jobs. 

On the Transition, Kevin talks about the origins of 1700 Brewing Company, the challenges of running the business while dealing with turmoil in his personal life, and  why despite all the hardships that come with running the company, he’s still having fun brewing beer.
