Philly Brewery’s Apprenticeship Program Leads to New Jobs & New Beers
Triple Bottom Brewing on Spring Garden Street has the perfect beers (and perfect beer names) for the spring – there’s Tumbling Sun, the New Zealand Style Pilsner, and Sunny, the Zwickelbier. But what makes this brewery particularly unique is its apprenticeship program for Philadelphians who need a second chance after incarceration or periods of homelessness. The 16-week program leads to jobs – and new kinds of beer. In this conversation that first aired in December, host Trenae Nuri is joined by Tess Hart, co-founder and CEO of Triple Bottom Brewing, and Chenoah McDonald, a recent graduate of the program, about building a community around beer.
