Going Behind the Scenes of a Craft Beer Tour Company 03/29/2023

Going Behind the Scenes of a Craft Beer Tour Company This is one of our Digtal Delights episodes where we talk to a business owner who shares tips to help your dream life take flight. Today, I’m talking to Captain Kurt, the man behind Epic Beer Trips. As if the promise of traveling the globe drinking beer isn’t enough to entice you, I asked Kurt to share tips for anyone who might be interested in setting up a tour business. We talked about retiring early, taking time to do the things you love NOW -rather than waiting - and why he structured his business so giving back is a priority. There is a longer version of this interview over at Power UP Your Performance, so if you want more behind the scenes from Epic Beer Trips, be sure to listen to that episode too. Connect with Kurt and Epic Beer Trips: Captain Kurt created Epic Beer Tripsm to combine three things he enjoys: traveling the globe, drinking beer and having fun! Kurt’s passions sent him to France, England, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and eventually to Scotland for an extended stay in the summer of 2019. During these trips, Kurt enjoyed the beauty of Scotland, and the other destinations in Europe. He also met some really cool people and savored many excellent craft beers! After much thought and a few beers, the idea was born to share all this goodness with others.
