The Continuing Saga of Hanging Hills

Here's an episode for anyone interested in the risky side of owning a brewery. In Ep 52, I sit down with Joe Ploof, owner of Hanging Hills Brewing, which nearly died a tragic death after closing its tasting room doors in Hartford, Conn. It's now in a second life, contract brewing at East Rock Brewing in New Haven, Conn. In this episode we talk about the problems that Hanging Hills faced, how COVID nearly struck a fatal blow to the company, and the resurrection of a brand. Thanks for listening, and tell a friend or 6 about It Starts With Beer. Contact host and producer Will Siss: beer.snob@yahoo.com, and follow him on Instagram and Twitter: @beersnobwrites.
