Welcome to the second and final episode of the Beer Edge extended interview with Peter Bissell of Bissell Brothers Brewing in Portland, Maine. If you haven’t heard the first episode, I’d recommend going back and giving it a listen. With that said, you can also just listen to this one. Do whatever works for you.
In the first episode, we talked with Pete about hockey, his relationship with his younger brother and partner Noah, and how their shared vision for the Bissell Brothers business developed and evolved over time.
In this episode, we dig a little deeper and wax a bit more philosophical about business, beer, and life. Bissell discusses his influences, both in the beer industry and business in general, the importance of having one thousand true fans, and why it’s important that some people hate you.
Pete is an avid consumer of books on business and philosophy and he’s prioritized a rare combination of introspection and regularly taking in the view from 30,000 feet. The beer business moves quickly, even before COVID. Pivoting, responding, keeping your head down and grinding is the everyday reality for nearly every brewery owner. Too few take much time to consider their circumstances and consider how and whether to change them
