Carl Weaver talks about business maturity, business cycles, and uses Beer Drop as an example. All businesses go through a three-part cycle, and Beer Drop has clearly gotten to the second stage: maturity. However, they still have room to grow, The big thing is that they learned to scale and have standardized their specialty packaging. Also, they are welcome to sponsor they podcast or just send free beer.

Many thanks to the sponsor, Mr. Weaver.

I had the opportunity to talk to the fine folks at Black Dog Beer Shop in Vienna, VA because I was curious what they are seeing in terms of beer trends. It was interesting to hear their thoughts. I have read a number of articles from pundits and others, but these are the people ordering and selling beer and responding to customers, so it is a different viewpoint.
