In this episode of Midwest Microbrew, we head to Central City to chat with Scott Whitson from BIT Brewery. BIT (which stands for Best In Three) was founded by three friends with a simple mission: brew great beer and build a space the community loves.
Scott takes us through the journey of opening a nano-brewery in a small town, the art of the perfect wood-fired brick oven pizza, and the creative process behind their rotating tap list.
In this interview, we cover:
The "BIT" Philosophy: How three friends (Jason, Jeff, and Scott) built the brand.
Community & Membership: The "Brewer In Training" program and their legendary Mug Club.
Small Town, Big Flavor: Why Central City is the perfect home for their renovated historic taproom.
The Menu: From the dark, rich Black Betty Stout to their famous Taco Pizza.
