Act 135: Twenty breweries come together to honor a Lee's Summit legend
About this episode
The episode features a discussion about a collaborative lager series honoring Mac Lamken and supporting veterans and first responders.
Mac Lamken co-founded Diametric Brewing and built something bigger than a taproom — he built a community. On Episode 135, recorded live at Diametric in Lee's Summit, Blake McCarter and Courtney and Dave Lamken join Nigel and Nick to preview "Worth the Climb," a 20-brewery collaborative lager series honoring Mac's life and raising money for veterans and first responders through the Battle Within. It's a beer release, a tribute, and a testament to how much one person can matter.
