The Beigies are back and headed down south! From boats and bikes to pigs and cows, you could call this one a wild ride.

Ken Grossman was experimenting with beer before he was old enough to buy it. As a high school student in the late 1960s, he bought his first home brewing kit and mixed the ingredients in a bucket, hiding his early batches from his mother. About ten years later, before most Americans knew what craft beer was, Ken decided to build a brewery in Chico, California. With $50,000, a few piles of scrap metal and some hand-me-down dairy tanks, Ken and his partner built Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, and crafted a beer with a distinctive, hoppy bitterness. Today, as the third largest craft brewer in the U.S., Sierra Nevada Brewing Company – like so many other businesses – faces unprecedented challenges due to the Coronavirus crisis.

Happy Sunday! More from Australia 2k19 :). Had a really great talk with Nick Bell about how to balance quality and growth when building a business, the importance of a global footprint and why I don't "turn off". Tweet me @garyvee with any questions or to say hi ;)
