About this Event
Bringing together military connected startup founders & small business owners with civilian supporters & leaders to build community.
Each session will feature a brief fireside chat with an experienced military connected or civilian business leader followed by an open networking opportunity. This will allow attendees the chance to get to know the guest and each other with the goal of leaving with valuable new connections and, hopefully, a new mentor.
At 12 Fox Beer Co., every pint has a story—and every visit builds community. “12 Foxtrot” is the U.S. Army designation for a Combat Engineer—the role that trained Joe Hogge, founder and our speaker for this month, to clear minefields and work with explosives. That path took him from Fort Hood, Texas, to Bosnia, and eventually to the legendary beer town of Bamberg, Germany—where everything changed. It was there that Joe discovered a deep appreciation for traditional European brewing: clean, intentional, and rooted in craft. What started as curiosity turned into years of hands-on “research and development,” shaping a philosophy we still follow today: Keep it simple. Make it exceptional. Today, 12 Fox is more than a brewery. It’s the home of Fireside Chat Support Network—a growing community where veterans, first responders, and civilians come together to share stories, build friendships, and support one another around the table. Come hear Joe’s story as an entrepreneur and community leader and learn more about his vision for 12 Fox!
Active duty service members, veterans, military, spouses, and military family members are all invited along with community supporters. Partners include: Capital Factory & Station Austin, IVMF Bunker Labs, Texas Veterans Commission, JP Morgan Chase and others.,
