A great deal has changed since 2013 when Tommy Vandervort launched the concept for Enlightened Brewing Company, a brewery concept that \\u2013 a decade later \\u2013 is part of an engaged community of local breweries, each of which contributes to the ever-growing craft scene in Milwaukee.\\xa0

This week, we sat down with Vandervort and Enlightened Brewing co-owner James Larson to take a look back, not only at the origin of the brewery but the blood sweat and tears that led to the establishment of their current 14,000-square foot brewery and taproom. Along the way, we discuss the ups and downs of brewery ownership, the evolution of the craft beer scene and numerous other topics, including \\u2026 soccer, bbq and what beer fans can look forward to in 2023 and beyond. Grab a\\xa0 cold brew and listen in!
