Does the world really need another craft brewery? Honestly, no\\u2014but Daniel Mu\\xf1oz and Jeremy Grinkey think the world just might need\\xa0their\\xa0brewery, which is coming very soon to the city of Orange in Orange County, California. It\\u2019s called Everywhere Beer, but they\\u2019re not just stopping at beer. The two co-founders, along with their partners Stefan Weber and Keith Pumilia, hope to create a space that\\u2019s comfortable, welcoming, and approachable for everyone in their community, something that unfortunately still remains a relative rarity across the craft beer industry.

In today\\u2019s conversation, Jeremy, Daniel, and I discuss the future of Everywhere, but also their pasts. Listeners might know of Jeremy as the long-haired and long-bearded director of production at The Bruery, or as @Sour_Jesus on Instagram. Both of them are veterans of the wine industry as well as The Bruery, where their partners also worked before banding together to form Everywhere. What led four guys to leave The Bruery to start their own? As it turns out, lots of things, including a shared need to write their own legacies instead of perpetuating someone else\\u2019s; the search to find their own voices as artisans; a pandemic-inspired realization that our time on Earth is finite (so get busy living); and finally, a desire to expand representation in a mostly white culture. How do four dudes in Orange County plan to accomplish that? You\\u2019ll just have to keep listening.

You\\u2019ll also hear about the ups and downs of finding their space, which beer styles and breweries inspire them, what consumers they hope to attract, which types of beers to expect (as well as beverages outside of beer, like wine, hard seltzer, and maybe even craft soda), and why they feel philanthropy is a crucial element to supporting their local community. The sky\\u2019s the limit: Or at least, their 20-tap system is. Everywhere Beer is tentatively slated to open in August 2022. Let\\u2019s hear about how they\\u2019re going to make that happen and where it will go from there.
