Small Town. Big Dreams. Bigger Pours

In this special hometown(ish) episode, Ben sits down with the passionate team behind Yard 65, Kiel’s new brewery and events space that’s already turning heads in the Wisconsin craft beer scene.

Although Ben didn’t grow up in Kiel, it’s the town where he graduated high school — and one that still holds a special place in his heart. So coming back to sit down with Corey, Jason, and Jenny, the trio behind Yard 65, was more than just another interview… it was a full-circle moment.

We talk about:

🍺 The inspiration behind Yard 65

🏛️ Reviving the historic AA Laun building

🔥 The challenges of launching a brewery from scratch

🎉 Creating a space that’s more than just beer — it’s community

💡 Dreams, laughs, and some seriously tasty pours

This is a story about vision, hustle, and hometown pride — the kind that defines what Business Over Beer is all about.
