About this listen
Opening a craft brewery in 2025 takes more than good beer - it takes clarity, discipline, and real strategy.
In this episode of the Ready To Drink Podcast, Nate Fochtman sits down with Kyle Underkoffler, co-founder of Berg Brewing Company in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, to break down what it actually takes to build a brewery from scratch in today’s crowded beer market.
This conversation covers:
- How Berg Brewing transformed a historic building into a working brewery
- Why European beer styles, simplicity, and quality still matter
- The realities of running a small brewery and wearing every hat
- Building a business with family and maintaining trust
- Why founders need a clear vision before spending their first dollar
- How hospitality, leadership, and culture impact long-term success
This episode is built for craft brewers, beverage founders, and operators who want to understand the business behind the beer - not just the branding.
