For episode 19, we had the pleasure to sit down with the incoming President of the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company, Tony Bugher. Established in Chippewa Falls, WI, in 1867. Leinie's is a 155 year old brewery, that is still family run! You don't survive that many years and get to that level of success without strong family leadership, innovation, and community support. We touch on all those points in this episode.
Tony shares a brief history of the brewery, along with talking about his path to become the next President of Leinenkugel's, taking the reins from his uncle, Dick Leinenkugel. Innovation is at the forefront of what keeps Leinie's relevant and successful. Hear how their new 7 barrel pilot brewery, in the Leinie Lodge, is doing just that. He talks about the unique dynamic Leinie's has due to their age, being owned by Molson Coors, and yet still having the autonomy to be family run. We talk about the beer and hear the impact Summer Shandy had on the growth of the brewery. Tony also shares a funny story about an "A-list" celebrity he met as a kid, back in 1984, when he toured the brewery! Hear about this and much more! The Leinenkugel's is worth the visit and you will not be disappointed! You can find them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and at https://www.leinie.com/
