About this product

Product Information

What do you get when you cross a journalist and a banker? A brewery, of course. "A great city should have great beer. New York finally has, thanks to Brooklyn. Steve Hindy and Tom Potter provided it. Beer School explains how they did it: their mistakes as well as their triumphs. Steve writes with a journalists skepticism as though he has forgotten that he is reporting on himself. Tom is even less forgiving hes a banker, after all. The inside story reads at times like a cautionary tale, but it is an account of a great and welcome achievement." Michael Jackson, The Beer Hunter® "An accessible and insightful case study with terrific insight for aspiring entrepreneurs. And if thats not enough, it is all about beer!" Professor Murray Low, Executive Director, Lang Center for Entrepreneurship, Columbia Business School "Great lessons on what every first-time entrepreneur will experience. Being down the block from the Brooklyn Brewery, I had firsthand witness to their positive impact on our community. I give Steve and Toms book an A++!" Norm Brodsky, Senior Contributing Editor, Inc. magazine "Beer School is a useful and entertaining book. In essence, this is the story of starting a beer business from scratch in New York City. The product is one readers can relate to, and the market is as tough as they get. What a fun challenge! The book can help not only those entrepreneurs who are starting a business but also those trying to grow one once it is established. Steve and Tom write with enthusiasm and insight about building their business. It is clear that they learned a lot along the way. Readers can learn from these lessons too." Michael Preston, Adjunct Professor, Lang Center for Entrepreneurship, Columbia Business School, and coauthor, The Road to Success: How to Manage Growth "Although we (thankfully!) never had to deal with the Mob, being held up at gunpoint, or having our beer and equipment ripped off, we definitely identified with the challenges faced in those early days of cobbling a brewery together. The revealing story Steve and Tom tell about two partners entering a business out of passion, in an industry they knew little about, being seriously undercapitalized, with an overly naive business plan, and their ultimate success, is an inspiring tale." Ken Grossman, founder, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

    Beer Business 101

    Awesome book outlining every aspect of starting and seeing a beer business or really any business through to the point of selling it off. A must read.

    Beer School

    Great story, part business start-up, all beer. Nice to know a couple of regular guys could come up with an idea and follow it through and suceed in the beer business. These guys give you the good with the bad, show you how they did what they did and how things went good, bad and otherwise. I'd love to be as good at what they do. Now if I just had a pile of money to try and start my own brewery, they make it sound like a ton of fun.
