About this episode

The episode features an interview with Joshua Lord, owner of The Brew Depot, discussing his journey in homebrewing and the challenges faced by new brewers.

When you start homebrewing, it usually begins with a specific obsession. For this week’s guest, that obsession was a total lack of great, accessible Saisons in his local market, so he did what any passionate brewer would do: he eventually bought the whole homebrew supply shop! I am so delighted to sit down with Joshua Lord, the owner and brewer at The Brew Depot over in Alpharetta, Georgia . We’re diving deep into his journey from passionate hobbyist to taking the reins of a premier brick-and-mortar hub, and discussing exactly how he’s working to lower the barrier of entry for new brewers while helping us all get closer to our raw ingredients.
