Always do your homework. That’s the advice Castle Island Brewing founder Adam Romanow had for other entrepreneurs during this week’s Brew Talks meetup, held inside of his aforementioned and soon-to-launch Boston-area brewery.

Way back in 2011, Brewbound met a pair of entrepreneurs who, at the time, were planning to open a small craft brewery in South Boston under the name Critical Mass Brewing. More than four years later, the startup, now known as Castle Island Brewing, is finally on the verge of an official launch. The extended timeline of getting the project off the ground has left founder Adam Romanow with plenty of dos and don'ts. At tonight’s Brew Talks meetup, happening inside of his soon to open brewery in Norwood, Romanow will share a myriad of entrepreneurial lessons.

Brewbound is pleased to announce that a trio of successful Boston-area craft brewery entrepreneurs will speak at Brew Talks New England, taking place at the soon-to-launch Castle Island Brewing in Norwood, Mass. on September 28. Trillium Brewing founder Jean-Claude Tetreault, Notch Brewing founder Chris Lohring and Jack’s Abby co-founder Sam Hendler will join Brewbound editor Chris Furnari in a panel discussion focused on brewery businesses in transition.

Brewbound is pleased to announce that Brew Talks – a traveling meetup for beer industry professionals – will return to the Boston area on Monday, September 28. The event, which will feature conversations with local craft brewers, will be held inside of the soon-to-launch Castle Island Brewing Company, located at 31 Astor Ave. in Norwood, Mass.
