Business and Beer

“The currency of real networking is not greed but generosity.” – Keith Ferrazzi, author of Never Eat Alone

Join Cresco’s Pete Emes as he sits down with local business success stories in our Business & Beer series—an inspiring, down-to-earth interview format hosted in local pubs over a cold beer (or drink of your choice).

It’s more than a conversation, it’s a chance to connect, learn, and grow with like-minded professionals in a relaxed, engaging environment. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, business leader, or just curious, this series is your invitation to network and be inspired. Let us know if you’d like to join us at the next session or if you’d like to recommend a great local story worth sharing!
