Today’s guest got bitten by the brewery bug in 2012. Back when there were less than 2500 breweries nationwide and you could still convince yourself that there was room for one more. Like many of us he thought, start small, build it up slowly and grow incrementally over time. Invest in growth, recapitalize and add market share along the way to success. But his multiple award-winning brewery got swallowed first by the massive growth of his massive brewery neighbors and then by an oversaturated industry overall. He made great beers, great friends and left a lasting impact on the San Diego craft beer scene. Join us as we discuss what it’s like to build a dream and watch it metamorphosize into a nightmare before your eyes. This is the story of Alex VanHorne and San Diego’s Intergalactic Brewing Company. It’s honest, raw and inspiring in its own way. And I’m honored to be able to share it with you.
