If we look hard enough, or far back enough, we are all connected to an immigrant story. Businessman and restaurant owner Andrew Revy drew upon his Hungarian roots to name his successful Lakewood brewery and restaurant, Immigrant Son Brewery. In this episode we talk about how our upbringing and family stories inform and drive us to create and share what we love. In a few weeks ISB will have a sister restaurant called Sofia’s Kitchen and Bar (named for his daughter) that will expand on the warm hospitality and good food for which he is known. We talk about award-winning beer, collaborations with other locals, Hungarian food, and the importance of a gathering place open to all.
