Breweries across the country—from California to North Carolina—are using game nights to draw in diverse crowds, welcome new guests, and expand their communities.

In honor of Veterans Day, we’re highlighting a few veteran-owned breweries from across the United States. These breweries represent just a few of the dozens of veterans who have transitioned from serving their country to serving their communities. Their success speaks to the unique leadership and management skills that these veteran-owners picked up during their military service.

14th Star Brewing, St. Albans, Vt.

Vermont’s 14th Star Brewing arose from Steve Gagner’ and Matt Kehaya’s need to alleviate boredom while stationed in the remote mountains of Afghanistan and their desire to imagine a post-war future.… Read the rest “A Salute to Veteran-Owned Breweries”
