Hawkins Farmhouse Ales - Philip Davis

<p>Philip Davis isn&#39;t some mamby pamby little wanker that just opened up the Brewery-builder&#39;s playbook and picked one of the 3 standard brewery models. </p> <p><br></p> <p>He didn&#39;t open up in an industrial park, didn&#39;t pimp himself out to a group of stuffed shirt investors and he didn&#39;t read the report to find out the moisture content of the endosperm of the grains he brewed with. He sure as fuck didn&#39;t use Ai to design his recipes or automation to brew his beers. He was a dynamic artist and he had something to say. Maybe something to scream, whisper and insinuate since he considered himself progressive rock. </p> <p><br></p> <p>It took Philip years to dream-up, design and build his farmhouse brewery on 33 acres. But like you&#39;ll hear over the next hour and a half, it only took 6 months to learn what the rest of us all know. Specialization is dead. Most of the population doesn&#39;t get what we do. Profit isn&#39;t in the cards.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Philip did things his way on his terms. He was driven, artistic and creative. He also has a likeable personality and an infectious blend of hubris and self-reflection. I think you&#39;ll like Philip, but I know you&#39;ll love the story of his brewery and what he learned about how NOT to start a damn brewery. </p> <p><br></p> <p>And now, on with the show.</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://www.hawkinsfarmhouseales.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Hawkins&#39; Website</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hawkinsfarmhouseales" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Hawkins&#39; Instagram</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069861424586" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Hawkins&#39; Facebook</a> </p> <p><br></p> <p>Special Appearance by <a href="https://craftbeeramethyst.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Ruvani de Silva</a></p> <p>Episode Sponsored by:</p> <p><a href="https://brewerydirect.com/">⁠Brewery Direct⁠</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.simpsonmotorcyclehelmets.c
