John Null, Co-Founder of Afterburner Brewing Company and a part-time Indiana SBDC ION Program Veterans Business Advisor. John and a couple friends dreamed of starting a brewing company post retirement from the military. They acknowledged their biggest obstacle was a dream without the know-how. They participated in the West Central Indiana SBDC's “Start-Up Boot Camp” and took advantage of a suite of tools provided at no-cost to develop their business and marketing plan. Afterburner Brewing Company opened their doors to the public on November 2, 2022.
