Ep. 20 - Jeremy Danner of 4 Hands Brewing Co.

Jeremy Danner has held a lot of jobs at breweries including a stint as a cork sorter at Boulevard Brewing Co. Now, as an on premise account manager and brewery ambassador for 4 Hands Brewing Co, he talks about personal identities intertwined with professional ones, how to navigate beer Twitter, and more.

Show Notes

If you've spent even just a casual amount of time on Beer Twitter, you’ve come across Jeremy Danner. He's the passionate, outspoken, and thoughtful guy with an unending amount of Kansas City pride, a great love of family, and a near-constant live stream of beer. 

 

He was the public face of Boulevard Brewing up until a few months ago when he was suddenly let go from the company. Now, people come and go from places all the time, but because he was such a visible part of that brewery in his role as ambassador brewer, the news sent waves through the industry. 

 

He quickly bounced back and is now an on-premise account manager for 4 Hands Brewing Company as well as a brand ambassador. 

 

In this conversation, recorded at the Big Beers, Belgians, and Barleywine Festival, host John Holl gets into what it means to have your personal identity wrapped up in a brewery you don’t have ownership in, and what happens when it's suddenly taken away. We get into what works and what doesn’t on social media – something we could all use a refresher on.

 

Then it's a transition into how Danner's new role in sales has helped round out his beer education and what we all can learn from that. 

 

But first, Holl wanted to know how Danner first came to beer. Turns out, just like so many of us, it came through a friend.
