On this week’s edition of the Carolina Outdoors, Our host Bill Bartee is joined by David Hamme, the founder of the Lost Worlds Brewing Company. Today David and Bill talk about where Lost Worlds received it’s inspiration. Welcome David!
Inspiration
The genesis for what is now Lost Worlds came from David Hamme. Finding frustration in his life in Corporate America and wanting to turn his focus toward something innovative, he set his sights on brewing. Knowing that to separate themselves from other brands the product would have to back it up, David and Lost Worlds invested into the absolute best equipment, personnel and location to bring forth the best possible craft beer product.
Secondly, they invested in the brand. It was something most companies weren’t doing at the time, and saw it as a chance to set themselves apart. And so they made the decision to choose a compelling brand and stick to it in everything they do. Travelers, archaeologists, explorers and historians, and more make up the DNA of their brewing. It’s on the walls- and in everything they do.
Lastly, the third central tenant of the brand was to make a place anyone (of age) could feel at home. There’s a lot to do in the world, but sometimes having a beer in a welcoming environment is what you need.
Future
“You never know what’s around the corner” says Hamme. So we know the industry of craft brewing is always evolving and changing. With their vision and brand clearly defined, they can see the future clearly.
