Cigar City Brewing founder Joey Redner joins us in this episode of the BeerWise Podcast.
Growing up in the city of Tampa, Joey Redner built one of the most iconic breweries in Tampa’s history, but that is not what he intended when writing Cigar City Brewing’s initial business plan. Joey insists that he never intended for the brewery to grow as big as it did, and Joey shares what he has learned and some business thoughts on craft beer.
Joey and Mark also talk about Joey’s origin story in craft beer and the early days of Cigar City Brewing up to the day that Joey sold the brewery and a little bit on what he’s been doing since the sale. They also talk about the birth and growth of Hunahpu’s Imperial Stout, Hunahpu’s Day, and the ill-fated 2014 Hunahpu’s Day.
Joey also answers the BeerWise six pack of questions at the end of the interview – check out his answers on the show!
