008 - Craft Beer & Premium Coffee with The Lost Shoe Brewing & Roasting Company

<p>Are you looking for a casual environment where you can host a business meeting with your colleagues or simply grab a drink with your friends? Our guests this week share what it’s like to go from a home brewing and roasting hobby to the commercial space and how they cultivated a community around the idea of sharing drinks and creating memories together.</p> <p>This week, I am talking with JP and Melynda Gallagher, owners of The Lost Shoe Brewing &amp; Roasting Company. Founded in 2017, The Lost Shoe Brewing &amp; Roasting Company is an independent craft brewery and coffee roastery with an onsite taproom located in Downtown Marlborough. With Marlborough’s unique history, this inviting taproom is a place for the community to come together to enjoy locally brewed beer and freshly roasted coffee in an environment reminiscent of the city’s past as a shoe manufacturing center.</p> <p>In this episode, we discuss the benefits of supporting local businesses, the importance of collaboration through a global pandemic, and how The Lost Shoe Brewing &amp; Roasting Company is supporting the Black Lives Matter movement in a creative and unique way.</p> <p><strong>Topics Discussed:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Leaving the corporate world to pursuing entrepreneurship</li> <li>Creating a work-life balance</li> <li>Pivoting and shifting through COVID-19</li> <li>The importance of collaborating with local business</li> <li>How this brewery is supporting the Black Lives Matter movement</li> <li>Utilizing small space for efficient workflow</li> <li>Why creating consistency matters for the community</li> <li>Understanding the design and creativity behind crafting beers</li> <li>The importance of stepping back and reviewing past accomplishments</li> </ul> <p><strong>Connect with JP &amp; Melynda Gallagher</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Website: </strong><a href="https://lostshoebrews.com/"><u>https://lostshoebrews.com</u></a></li> <li><strong>Facebook: </strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/lostshoebrews"><u>https://ww
