We caught up with John Fayman of Melvin Brewing to talk about the challenges for mid-sized craft breweries and his time in Japan at the American Craft Beer Experience in Tokyo, 2019.

We started talking a little about the market for mid-sized breweries and some of the missteps they have made in the past. We talked about how to focus on the changing markets and how to consider new markets as well as focusing on your people. Making quality beer is only part of the equation as a mid-sized brewery and challenges are always growing.
