In this episode of Livelihoods, I interview Mike Reis, co-owner of Redfield Cider Bar and Bottle Shop in Oakland. Mike shares his journey from an early passion for fermentation and craft beverage culture, to running a neighborhood bar rooted in community and care. We talk about what it took to open Redfield, the hard choices he faced during the pandemic, and what he’s learning about leadership and letting go as he prepares to become a parent.
