Heroes of the New Economy
Heroes of the Covid Economy celebrated those business owners who somehow stayed open during the war on COVID. The war is over (in its full blown iteration) but small business owners continue.
This podcast continues to create a forum to learn from each other, to shout out your passion, your why’s, and your how’s.
We invite owners to share how they’re doing, what possibilities they are creating and celebrate their business and their journey.

S1E3 Bierly Brewing FULL
JP Bierly is the Beer Man of Bierly Brewing... hmmmmm... just a coincidence? I don't think so!
Bierly Brewing is located in McMinnville, OR. JP and his wife started Bierly Brewing because they both needed to be Gluten-Free. So they purchased the machinery and ingredients and started testing and ultimately choosing a formula they loved. Then they thought, hmmm what goes with beer? Oh gluten-free pretzels! Better yet - gluten-free doughnuts!
JP discusses how the Covid Economy affected the business. It is surprising!
JP tells us that business is good. Yes, he did have some adjustments that were needed. He now does self distribution, online ordering, and contactless payments. His best selling beer, Felix Pilsner, named after the oldest of his 2 son's, is now packaged in cans. Turns out, cans sell 3 to 1 better than bottles. JP, as with most entrepreneurs, wears "stacks of hats" (love that term).
