Culture of beer: John Barley at TEDxNaperville

John Barley is the co-founder and CEO of Solemn Oath Brewery, a Naperville-based production brewery that began in 2012. Considered one of the fastest growing breweries in the country, Mr. Barley and Solemn Oath continue their mission with a focus on Belgian-inspired and barrel-aged beers. With no year-round offerings, each year the brewery moves swiftly through dozens and dozens of beers across a range of styles in search of what's new.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Great name for a brewer. What's called the other co-founder? Mike Hops?

This was well put sir. Chances are you won't receive this comment. But... As a home brewer, I so agree with these facts you speak of. We stick together to help each other. Sharing info helps us all to be a better brewer. I guess what I'm trying to say is well... BEER IS GOOD. Keep the great work. Thanks and Cheers =)
