074 - Locally Sourced, Passionately Crafted With CraftRoots Brewing

Calling all farmers, maltsters, brewers, and beer lovers alike!

This week, I'm talking with Maureen and Robin Fabry, Co-Founders of CraftRoots Brewing. Taking root in April of 2014 in Milford, Massachusetts, CraftRoots Brewing is passionate about connecting craft beer back to local agriculture and crafting super-fresh community-inspired brews with their 7-barrel brewery and taproom, serving eight different beer styles daily.

CraftRoots Brewing is Milford's first brewery and is also the first 100% woman-owned "brick-and-mortar" brewery in the history of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. CraftRoots Brewing is grounded in a truly grassroots idea by encompassing a community-inspired brewery with sustainability at its core.

In our conversation, Maureen and Robin both share how they keep things creative and fresh at CraftRoots Brewing and the culture that they have cultivated inside their community. We also discuss the innovation in the craft beer industry and what it means to pursue your passion with the world.

Topics Discussed:

How CraftRoots Brewing got its name and the pursuit of sustainability
Overcoming obstacles and learning new skillsets from past challenges
Embracing diversity and inclusivity within the community
How Covid-19 impacted CraftRoots Brewing and how they pivoted quickly
