In this episode, we sit down with Jess Griego, Chief Operating Officer of Bosque Brewing, to explore what it takes to lead one of New Mexico’s most beloved craft breweries. As a COO, mother, and woman in a male-dominated industry, Jess shares her journey, the challenges of scaling a brewery, and how she balances leadership with family life.
We dive into the evolving role of women in craft beer, the importance of company culture, and how motherhood has shaped her leadership style. Jess also shares advice for women looking to break into the brewing industry, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and of course—her go-to Bosque beers.
Whether you’re a craft beer lover, a working parent, or someone looking for leadership inspiration, this episode is packed with insight, authenticity, and a little bit of hops. Grab a drink and tune in!
