We recently connected with Billy Dieli and have shared our conversation below.

Billy , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to go back in time and hear the story of how you came up with the name of your brand?

It’s a play on Blockbuster. They were the largest movie rental chain, so since my bar rents out movies I thought Beerbusters would be cool.

Billy , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am just a huge fan of craft beer movies and a lot of things in nerd culture. I wanted a place that offers all of the things I enjoy at the same time. I am proud of the selection we offer already and it will only get better as the business grows. I am always trying new things and ideas to grow my regular customers.

Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?

I cashed out my 401K and had a successful Kickstarter to help fund the opening of my business.

How did you build your audience on social media?

A local page called Ilovetheburg helped us gain a following on social media. Now we just try to come up with fun posts that will hopefully bring people in and grow our network.
