 Cultivating a Craft is a real time account of the launch of Fertile Ground Beer Co., a brewery-in-planning in Jackson, Mississippi set to open in 2021. In each episode, the founders of FGBC take you on their journey and highlight integral facets of opening any startup business including defining your “why”, building a team, and developing a brand. This 10 episode season starts with the idea of a brewery, and ends with the sharing of a cold beer in the newly-opened Fertile Ground Beer Co. taproom. Join us as we discuss the journey from start to finish.Copyright © 2021, Fertile Ground Brewing Company, All Rights Reserved. Art Cooking Economics Food & Wine Leadership Management & Leadership
