This is who I am
Nathan Pierce touring Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Chico, California, July 9, 2013.
Hi, I’m Nathan Pierce.
Read the Founder’s Page to learn more about the man who started MicroBrewr and how I carried it on for him.
I had a great job with good pay. I was doing something I cared a lot about. I worked there for 7 years, but I had to move on.
Over the course of about a year, we had a complete change of management. Many of my coworkers were suddenly dreading coming to work.
Maybe you can relate.
Like I said, I really cared about the work I was doing. But still, it wasn’t my own. I’ve always had a yearning to make something. I want to help others, inspire others, and create something new in this world.
Meanwhile, my doctor told me to take a month off due to stress. It wasn’t good for me and that, in turn, wasn’t good for the people around me.
They say your job isn’t worth your health, so I put that theory into practice first-hand. It was a shock and it was also a relief.
The craft beer industry is such a great place. The people are so open and helpful. Besides the “craft beer renaissance” that’s happening in the U.S. and spreading across the world, craft beer is a really creative space.
I want to open a brewery. I know I’m not alone in this dream.
My dream is to open a regional package brewery. Rather than serving customers only at the physical location, I would feel more pride just walking down the grocery store aisle and seeing my product on the shelf. How awesome!
Only one problem: I’m not really qualified.
I’m taking a step back, making it more of a longer-term goal. In the meantime, I’m learning what it takes. I’m talking with others in the industry. I’m asking them what to do, what works, what doesn’t work. What should I do, what should I avoid.
This is what MicroBrewr is to me. It’s a learning process about how to start a brewery.
I’m an open book, I don’t mind sharing what I learn with others. So if you want to start a brewery, but aren’t quite sure how to do it, then you are in the right place.
