IPA breweries in the Northeast are very prosperous these days
A co worker of my wife married one of the founders of one of Tree House out here in Western MA. They started it in the garage of one of their friends. That company not only produced good beer, they built their breweries into “DisneyLand-like” destinations throughout MA.
I interviewed for a job there once. I had zero chance of getting it, but I wanted to meet these people and see their operations. The management were some of the most “focused” people i had ever met in my life. I got the impression that they worked 100 hours a week….But they had a vision and they were going to be successful.
That was very early in their growth. They are all multi millionaires now. I am sure their success is studied at all of the major Business schools.
They were early, good, focused, and disciplined. That is the basis for success anywhere.
And they welcome kids and families.
