Keeping your restaurant guests 'hoppy'

Learn from an insider what the craft beer business can do for your restaurant brand.

May 30, 2014 by Nate Riggs — CEO / Owner, NR Media Group

Did you know 77 percent of America's hops come from the state of Washington, yet most Americans live within 10 miles of a craft brewery? In episode #041 of the Social Restaurant Podcast, I welcome Jarod Kelly, Chief Happiness Officer of Hopjacks, a Pensacola, Fla., based restaurant with five unique locations vested in the craft beer business. Yes, you read that title correctly- Jarod is in charge of keeping everyone happy from 112 taps at one location to an interactive wine menu at another.

After 17 years in the restaurant business from fast food to fine dining, Jarod has found his niche in a combination of family dining and late night eats. You’ll also want to hear more about The Tin Cow, a Hopjacks location with spiked milkshakes to complement their great burgers.
