A great deal has changed since 2013 when Tommy Vandervort launched the concept for Enlightened Brewing Company, a brewery concept that – a decade later – is part of an engaged community of local breweries, each of which contributes to the ever-growing craft scene in Milwaukee.
This week, we sat down with Vandervort and Enlightened Brewing co-owner James Larson to take a look back, not only at the origin of the brewery but the blood sweat and tears that led to the establishment of their current 14,000-square foot brewery and taproom. Along the way, we discuss the ups and downs of brewery ownership, the evolution of the craft beer scene and numerous other topics, including … soccer, bbq and what beer fans can look forward to in 2023 and beyond. Grab a cold brew and listen in!
