Jordan Egbert and Justin Lottridge, Ommegang Brewery

We are back for season six of The Changeup. What started as a project while I was bored at home during the throes of COVID is now over 100 episodes with smart founders sharing their journey along the way.

This season, we're continuing down the path of food and beverage with a focus on New York owned and operated companies. There's something about tangible items in the digital age that gets me excited and I hope the same is true for you. We kick off with one of the OG craft purveyors, Ommegang.

We sat down with their head brewer, Justin Lottridge, and brand manager, Jordan Egbert. We talked about the early mission of Ommegang, growth in the industry that gave way to consolidation, and how being acquired by Duvel Moortgat has given them a new spark in the industry.
