Our story
Craft Leadership started with a simple belief: great beer deserves great teams.
After years of working alongside breweries across the country, we saw a pattern. Many breweries had the passion, creativity, and technical skill to produce world-class beer - but struggled with the human side of growth. As teams expanded, communication slipped, alignment drifted, and once-energized staff began to feel the strain.
We built Craft Leadership to help change that.
Our work centers on developing people leaders - those responsible for shaping culture, guiding others, and keeping the heartbeat of the brewery strong. We use practical tools, shared language, and consistent rhythms that make leadership development accessible, not abstract.
This isn’t theory for theory’s sake. It’s the daily work of helping breweries lead better meetings, give clearer feedback, make smarter decisions, and build teams that actually enjoy working together.
Our goal is simple: To help breweries grow healthy people, strong teams, and lasting cultures - because the best beer comes from places where people thrive.
"In my 26 years experience within the industry I’ve had the chance to work for companies with global, national, regional, and local footprints. Never in my experience have I been as impressed with any training than I have been with Craft Leadership."
Seth Herman

"I have been mentored through Craft continuously since 2017 and it has made a major difference in my life, both personally and professionally… Today, I am a more confident and caring leader, husband, and father in large part due to Craft's influence in my life."
Adam Beauchamp

"I don’t think there’s a single day that goes by during which I don’t at least reference a tool that Craft taught me in my work with the people I lead. Thanks to Craft I’m well on my way to becoming the most liberating leader I can be."
Fenwick Broyard

"The coaching and guidance we received from Craft is paramount to the leader and manager I am today. From understanding everyone’s unique skill sets, mentalities, & approaches, to seeing business and day-to-day operations from all perspectives, made every day with Craft an eye opening experience for me."
Harlan Pocquette

"In a sentence, Craft Leadership has made our company better. Its content and guidance have provided us a common language with which to navigate the complicated realities of doing business. What’s more, it has helped remind us how healthy organizations (and employees) are supposed to operate."
