In this episode of Local Legends, I sit down with Rawley, the multifaceted force behind Rouleur Brewing located in Carlsbad, CA. Rawley isn't just a rider; he's a talented brewer and a dedicated community builder.

Rawley shares the intriguing story of how he ventured into beer making. Was it a hobby that turned into a profession, or was it always part of the plan? We discuss his evolution as a brewer and get a glimpse into the vibrant brewing scene in San Diego. He also opens up about the inspirations and influences that have guided him along the way.

Rawley is heavily involved in the community through RTNGR and his contributions to race events, providing both support and excellent beer. He elaborates on these efforts and what they mean to him.

Rawley’s dedication and skill have earned Rouleur Brewing an impressive 30 awards, including four medals at the prestigious Great American Beer Festival (GABF) and one World Beer Cup award, the two biggest competitions in the world of brewing.

Rawley reflects on the most rewarding aspects of his journey so far and shares valuable lessons learned as an entrepreneur.
