The Taste of Emporia Q&A – Big John’s Brewing Company
by Casey Woods, Executive Director | April 16, 2015
This is Part 5 in a series of The Taste of Emporia vendor Q&As that will lead up to the event on April 18th!
Diane Harris is the Office Manager for Big John’s Brewing Company.
Q: What can you briefly tell us about Big John’s Brewing Company?
A: We were established in 2013 in Salina, KS. We have a tasting room that seats over 100 people, so it’s a great place to hold events, family gatherings and reunions. We currently have 8 beers we make on tap and are always adding a small batch of something along the way for variety. We have a pizzeria located in the same building as us.
Q: What has your experience been like at previous Taste of Emporia events?
A: Last year was our first year at the Taste of Emporia and loved the idea of having breweries, wineries and distilleries. This gave people more choices in their tasting.
Q: What do you look forward to most at this year’s Taste of Emporia?
A: We look forward to more variations than just the breweries.
Q: What products should this year’s participants expect from you? Anything new?
A: We will be bringing our Rye Ale and Oatmeal Stout this year.
Q: What new products do you have coming available that we should know about?
A: New things we have coming available will be a Vanilla Porter, Mai Bock and Chili Blonde Ale.
Be on the lookout tomorrow for the last Vendor Q&A!
