Jack Miller, a friend of yours, has beer brewing in his blood. After years of providing beer to local block parties and community events, the Miller family opened Jack's Brewery, named by Malinda and Jon (Jack's parents) after their beloved son. The company headquarters, a small commercial space, is located in Austin, TX. Jack works for the company, but only in the brewing department, not sales or distribution.

At Jon's recent birthday party, Jon and Malinda announced that they were officially retiring and leaving the business to Jack. Although Jack loves beer brewing, his expertise is in the brewing itself, not managing the business. Despite his lack of experience, Jack is dedicated to making the business a success.
