Drink Beer, Think Beer With John Holl

Ep. 73 - Shyla Sheppard of Bow and Arrow Brewing

Feb 24, 2021
50:36

Shyla Sheppard is our guest this week and she is the founder, president and co-founder of Bow and Arrow Brewing Co. in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The brewery just celebrated its 5th anniversary under the same circumstances that we’ve all been under over the last year, but they had some fun with it. Rather than letting the pandemic get them down, they are adapting quick and planning for the future. 


Before Sheppard  got into the beer industry she worked in finance, helping entrepreneurs establish loans that would help fund their dreams. In her words, she wanted to follow them, and do what she loved, and beer was the path forward. 

 

The brewery makes the most of the area that it is in and draws from family history, especially from her partner Missy Begay, who is the brewery’s creative director. The beers are put together by Ted O’Hanlan, who worked at breweries in Wyoming before going to the Southwest. 

 

From native ingredients, to business strategies, and a look towards the future, Sheppard offers up unparalleled insight.
