Starting a Brewery and Distillery in the Middle of a Pandemic!!

Chris Kesler, the founder and principal of Black Flannel Brewery and Distillery, will share his startup story.  He assembled a team to launch Black Flannel in 2019 with plans to open in July 2020.  Little did he know that a global pandemic would intervene in March 2020.  He will share the story of his effort to help transform the outlook for the Essex Experience and to build a world-class brewery and distillery.
