George Sistrunk is a partner at the law firm Hamilton Stevens Steele + Martin, and co-founder of Town Brewing Co. Sistrunk’s journey into real estate law wasn’t exactly what he anticipated, finding his niche through genuine connections and mentorship.
Yet it was his shared passion for home brewing with three other lawyer friends that sparked the creation of Town Brewing Co., evolving from a hobby in his garage to a thriving business in Charlotte’s Wesley Heights neighborhood.
With a knack for balancing the complexities of legal practice with the creative and operational demands of a brewery, Sistrunk brings a wealth of experience and insight on this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast. He also discusses:
Getting into real estate law.
His transition to brewery ownership.
The home brewing process.
Challenges in brewery ownership.
Adapting to brewery industry trends.
His reflections on his career and mentorship.
Sistrunk received The Ledger’s 40 Over 40 Award in 2020.
