Today the gang sits with legendary brewer Sean Lawson, founder of Lawson's Finest Liquids.

About this episode: Sean talks about his distribution arm, The Beer Guy, which has started distributing an artisanal gin and tonic made by Bar Hill. The company is open to adding other non-competitive products such as wine, other beers, or spirits to their distribution arm in the future, with the focus for now on the gin and tonic Artesano cocktail. They may also consider distributing craft beer from other breweries that are complementary to their brand. The conversation touches on the brewery's ranking in the craft beer industry and the challenges of starting and growing a craft brewery.

Today the gang has a fascinating conversation with Rob Sehllman, director, Chill State Collective (cannabis-infused beverage co-manufacturing and distribution in Minnesota), and Lisa Hurwitz, co-founder and president, Happi (cannabis-infused seltzers), one of six members of Chill State Collective's portfolio.

Minnesota is an interesting state in that they have a different approach to cannabis regulation (even if it was accidental), and we dive deep into how that has manifested in the marketplace and where it could go, given that the state is looking at ways to codify what is naturally happening.
