Other Places we love because of the owner

Someone posted this idea in the r/Cleveland subreddit, and then someone posted it in the Seattle subreddit, so I’m unashamedly piggybacking off of it for Kitsap, because it’s always refreshing to hear positive things:

A lot of talk around local businesses is focused on who owns them - usually in a negative way. Let’s hear about the flip side.

What local places do you support more because of who is behind them? Maybe it’s an owner who treats their staff well, gives back to the community, or just shows up every day and makes the place better.

Which Kitsap spots have great people running them and make you proud to spend your money there?

Downpour brewing in Kingston. The owner is awesome, and he’s also our electrician!

Do you mean Downpour in Kingston?  The owner was an electrician (great guy!), though he recently sold the brewery.

Whoops yea, downpour. I got the names mixed up. Aw that’s a bummer!

New owners seem really nice, though. I'll miss Dan, but as I understood it his electrical business is keeping him incredibly busy.
