Ep 24: Kelly Hanseth of Lumberyard Brewing Company & Beaver Street Brewery

This episode I am joined by Kelly Hanseth of Lumberyard Brewing Company and Beaver Street Brewery in Flagstaff, Arizona. Kelly’s parents, Winnie and Evan Hanseth opened Beaver Street Brewery, Flagstaff’s first craft brewpub, in 1994. Kelly was a young girl when the brewery opened and has grown up with the brewery as her family’s business. When the city of Flagstaff was looking for ideas on what to do with their historic lumberyard, the Hanseth Family pitched the idea of turning the facility into a production brewery and restaurant. Lumberyard Brewing Company opened its doors in 2010, after the family remodeled and converted the facility. 

 Kelly is now the Marketing Manager for both breweries and the Vice President of the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild. 

 We discuss growing up with a brewery in the family, marketing two breweries, converting a lumberyard into a production brewery, and more.
