Episode 053 - Zac Triemert - Brickway Brewery & Distillery

If his voice and his story sound vaguely familiar it is because he was our very first guest on the Market The Brew Podcast 52 episodes ago. Since then, he has grown both professionally and personally. One of the biggest changes came recently and the podcast notes show him with his new wife as they honeymooned on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Great weather, picturesque views, amazing food and something he doesn’t make, yet, fine wine…

During the first podcast we learned of their Beer Amnesty Week in which you would bring in a 6 pack of BAD beer (macro brews) in exchange for a 6-pack of their beer…no questions asked. They would then find unique and interesting ways to use the BAD beer, such as a slip and slide or a beer pool on the roof, just to name a few. 

We also learned how his mother was upset about his decision to switch from pre-med to brewing until he started distilling vodka.  After the University of Wisconsin, he spent several years working for a brewery and decided that is what he wanted to do and took off to Edinburgh Scotland to get his master’s degree in brewing and distilling. 

Well, if you want to learn more about our guest, re-listen to the first podcast. If you want to hear what he’s been up to since his first appearance on the podcast listen in and Danielle and Travis chat with Zac Treimert of Brickway Brewing and Distillery in Omaha, Nebraska.
