Night Owls by Night Shift Brewing: Recent Episodes
Hosted by: Rob Burns & Michael Oxton
CRAFT BETTER: It’s a mindset that’s been with us since 2012, when we turned our nocturnal home brewing hobby into Night Shift Brewing. It’s also our promise to you — to craft better beverages and experiences no matter where our journey takes us. On this podcast we dive into conversations with entrepreneurs about ideas that keep us awake and all the ways we can keep crafting better.
Our latest Night Owls episode is a roundtable with the HR directors at Night Shift, Lord Hobo, and Downeast Cider. We talk about everything from fast growth to company culture to fostering diversity to navigating a pandemic.
We sat down with co-founders of Rhode Island Spirits, Kara and Cathy for a truly spirited discussion. Does a martini have vodka or gin? What's your go-to suggestion for an easy cocktail recipe? How do you scale your foraging model as you grow? How is it running a business as a married couple? What does it mean for your business to be both women-owned and gay-owned in an industry that is traditionally dominated by men? What was it like opening during a government shutdown? Do you think the craft distillery movement will mirror the growth of the craft beer movement? And most importantly, where we can find Rhodium spirits? These questions and more with Kara and Cathy on Episode 4 of Night Owls!
In this episode we talk with Olivier Edouard, Founder of 67 Degrees Brewing.
What’s it like opening into a pandemic? What sparked your interest in brewing? As a Black-owned brewery, what’s your perspective on race and diversity in craft beer? What’s the meaning behind the name 67 Degrees? These questions and more with Olivier Edouard, Co-Founder of 67 Degrees Brewing.
Why did you join Night Shift? How do you balance recipe cost against market demand? Is there a disconnect between what brewers and fans love to drink? What is craft and what is not? What are these things called Cryo hops? These questions and more in Episode 2 with our Head Brewer, Joe Mashburn.
What do you miss the most about the early days? What are you glad is over? Worst beer we made? Most surprising success? The Night Shift Founders Rob, Mike, and Michael discuss the past, present, and future of NSB!
