Examining Craft Beer Co-ops with Andy Martinec and Shawn Becker

The Business Of Craft Beer

Please join us this week for a conversation about Craft Beer Co-ops with Andy Martinec, Brewer at Black Star Co-op Pub and Brewery, located in Austin, TX and Shawn Becker, Board President of Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery, located in Seattle, WA. Flying Bike Cooperative Brewery set out “to foster a cooperative craft beer community to learn about, create, and appreciate a diverse selection of quality beers.” Black Star Co-op is the world’s first cooperatively-owned and worker self-managed brewpub. We are owned by a community of more than 3,000 individuals and organizations, and we're democratically managed by our Workers' Assembly. The phone lines will be open and you are welcome to call in at [phone] to join the conversation.
