Oral history interview with Joel McClosky (2018)

We've got some great breweries here in the Piedmont Triad, and so being able to give everybody a collective voice, it matters. And it matters from the number of people who come and sit at our taproom, or sit at Natty Greene's taproom, or sit at Proprietor's taproom, or sit at Foothills taproom. To be able to say that we have a collaborative effort, and you need to go see these guys too, it makes sense.

Joel McClosky, co-owner and CEO of Four Saints Brewing Co. in Asheboro, NC discusses the brewery and its connections to the community. Topics include: opening the brewery, crowdfunding, working in the brewing industry, community engagement, the city of Asheboro, and the Triad Brewers Alliance. Mr. McClosky is a past president of the Triad Brewers Alliance.
