Ep. 115 – Erin Broadfoot Talks Little Beasts Brewing and Obstacle Course Racing

Posted on July 17, 2018 by Margaret Schlachter

Erin Broadfoot the co-founder and co-owner of Little Beasts Brewing in Whitby, Ontario. A 10hL brewery that produces craft beer. They brew a variety of hoppy ales and saisons and pride themselves on consistency and quality. A strong understanding of microbiology and chemistry has really helped me in my brewing career.

This is a second career for Broadfoot, she was an ND that focused on gynecology and obstetrics previously. She began brewing professionally in 2014 and subsequently won a scholarship to Siebel Technical Institute for brewing which essentially sealed her future.

After working in the industry for a few years she decided to work for herself and opened up Little Beasts in October 2017 after two years of planning with her friend and business partner John Henley.

In her spare time, she spends as much time as possible with my husband and 3 children and is pretty involved in obstacle course racing. She trains at her local OCR gym and through Yancy Camp. She has become pretty obsessed with endurance OCR and runs a number of races yearly including a recent Toughest Mudder, an 8-hour overnight obstacle course race where she qualified to be a contender at the 2018 World’s Toughest Mudder obstacle race. In the podcast, we talk all about beer, the process, and opening a business.
