Family Business Club Networking Night at Personal Best

Rooted in multigenerational entrepreneurship, Anthony Cesari’s West State Street microbrewery is a true family-business story—transforming a building his family has owned since the 1980s into a taproom and beer garden that honors past and future. What began as a plan to share the space with his brother evolved during COVID into a full 8,000-square-foot brewery, reflecting the family’s willingness to pivot together and invest for the long term. Even the beer list nods to heritage: “Rental Shoes” pays tribute to Cesari’s great-grandfather Rossi, who ran a bowling alley in Elmira in the 1950s.
All are welcome to attend. Family Business Club members will receive two drink tickets. This will be a great opportunity to connect and network with fellow Cornell students who share an interest in family business. We look forward to seeing you there!

If you would like to be considered for the board we would love to discuss that at this event.
