About this listen

So You Want to Start a Brewery? is the first-person account of Tony Magee's gut-wrenching challenges and heart-warming successes in founding Lagunitas Brewing Company.

In just 20 years, the company has grown from a seat-of-the-pants, one-man operation to be the fifth largest--and the fastest growing--craft brewer in the United States. This equal part memoir, narrative, and business story is an illuminating yet hilarious account anchored strongly in time and place as a one-of-a-kind, made-in-America journey that culminates with the success of one of the nation's most popular and enduring craft beer brands.

Interesting but only scratched the surface

Whilst this was an interesting read (listen) I was often left with the sense that the author would write some details regarding the business and then throw everything down to luck or a summarisation of everything into a single paragraph. Not the business book I was expecting, but an interesting story of a startup none the less.

Worth it

While planning to start a brewery I came across this book. Is it a guide to success? No not at all. But it's a small insight intro the world of craft breweries and it helped me understand some of the challenges I would come across. It's an entertaining book, very American style, and I'm short it was worth reading it

very interesting business book but not focussed

there's a lot of repetition in this book and it is not very brew focussed. it's more a generic business book with the author tooting his own horn quite a lot. interesting enough but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it
