Thirsty Business: The People Behind the Tap
Hosted by Jennifer Hauke and Phil Thomas, Thirsty Business is an interview podcast dedicated to the people who make the beer industry work.
From the brewhouse to the bar, from strategy to service, each episode explores the decisions, experiences, and craftsmanship that ultimately show up in the glass.
This isn’t a podcast about products; it’s about people, the choices they make, and how those choices are executed in the real world.
Because while every pint has a story, the individuals behind it rarely get the spotlight.
Thirsty Business exists to uncover those stories, share hard-earned lessons from across the industry, and give a voice to the people quietly raising its standards every day.
If you work in beer and care about where it’s going, this podcast is for you: real conversations with the leaders, builders, and problem-solvers shaping the industry, one story at a time.
