When Doug Appeldoorn got the inspiration to open his brewery, he wasn’t just any old home brewer.  He and co-founder Pietro first started a brewing collective that hosted events to champion creativity, inclusivity and the homebrew community of Toronto, Canada.  They followed virtually every home brewer’s dream and found a permanent space to create a brewery with the dream of taking their homebrew community with them on their journey to go pro. They hosted events for them, maintained taps for their beer and sponsored their everts. All while trying to grow their own fledging craft beer brand.  After opening in 2018 it didn’t take long for the financial part of running a brewery to take it’s toll on Doug. While his story and the story or People’s Pint hits some of the same notes we’ve heard already, I can assure you that his is a unique perspective that I’m proud to have the opportunity to share with y’all.  So please, settle in and enjoy the story of Doug Appeldoorn and Toronto’s People’s Pint Brewing Company. ⁠⁠⁠ People's Pint Brewing Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠People's Pint Brewing Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠People's Pint Brewing X⁠⁠ ⁠GTA Brews Homebrew⁠⁠⁠ Club Episode Sponsored by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Accubrew⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brewery Direct⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Simpson Motorcycle Helmets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Made To Measure Communications⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Somnifix⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (use DAMNBREWERY at checkout for 10% off) ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Where to get my Damn Book⁠ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/damnbrewery/support
