Debโs business cards say: โFounder/Muse.โ Itโs a role she started practicing for a long time ago. At age 8, Deb made her mom a card that read: โMotherโs Day is almost here; so it must be time to have a beer.โ A wise youngster, indeed.
Flash forward a few decades, and Deb is giving moms (and dads, and everyone else) plenty of reasons to raise a pint in celebration. Deb is the ultra-creative โIdea Personโ around here. She thinks big and isnโt afraid to fail. That brand of gumption made her willing to jump in to brewery ownership with both feetโeven when it raised a few eyebrows. โSome people actually felt sorry for Dan and me because they were sure we were going to lose everything,โ she says.
Debโs happy to be proving them really, really wrong. And howโs this for full-circle? This Motherโs Day, Debโs daughter posted a social media tribute raving about how cool it is to have a beer maven for a mom. Cheers to that.
