Balancing Contract Brewing and Taproom Growth with Jeremy Duffy of Isle Brewers Guild

On today’s episode of The True Craft Podcast, we sit down with Jeremy Duffy, co-founder of Isle Brewers Guild (IBG) in Pawtucket, RI. IBG is a 100-barrel contract brewing facility that also runs three successful retail locations under The Guild Brewing Company brand. Jeremy gives us a behind-the-scenes look into large-scale production with a strong retail presence focused on food, events, and sales (without sacrificing margin!)

Highlights:

  • What a diverse beverage lineup looks like in 2025
  • How to pull off 373 events in one calendar year (!)
  • Making the transition from food trucks to an in-house kitchen

If you’ve been curious what it’s like to run a high-capacity brewhouse while building a consumer brand, or you’re looking for ideas on how to tackle your business’ retail strategy…you won’t want to miss this episode!
