Building & Expanding a North Texas Beer-centered Hospitality Endeavor with the Priory Team

This time around we sat down with some crafty brews and our very own Ben Walter of Priory,  long time teammate and Culinary Director of our Pizza Kitchen, to learn about the backstory and future vision of their beer collab & beer dinner business, The Priory. Joining alongside Ben, were our friends Big John McCurdy & Collin Zreet (Advanced Cicerone) also of The Priory. These guys are doing exciting work with this startup brand whether it be collab brews, beer dinners, or beer related events in general. We got to know all about what the future holds for their brand!  Thanks for giving this episode a listen. We hope to see you in-house soon for great industry insight you won't find anywhere else, and to enjoy this podcast the way it is meant to be heard... live in the tap room with a delicious cold beverage and a hot slice of pizza in hand.
