content: Oral history interview with Samuel "Sam" McNulty, chief beer taster of Market Garden Brewery in Cleveland, Ohio. McNulty speaks about growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, and attending Cleveland State University in the early 1990s, where he studied urban studies and managed a restaurant. Starting in the early 2000s, McNulty opened several businesses in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland, including a Belgian beer bar, Market Garden Brewery, Bar Cento, and Nano Brew Cleveland. McNulty was inspired by the proliferation of microbreweries in Ohio, citing Great Lakes Brewing Company as especially influential. He discusses the range of beers brewed at his breweries and their use of a yeast propagator to maintain more than a dozen yeast strains. He also talks about his confidence in the private sector as an engine of development and growth in urban neighborhoods like Ohio City.
