About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of health inspections in craft breweries and public perceptions of cleanliness.

It sometimes feels like the news likes to go after craft beer; it also sometimes seems like people are looking at certain breweries over others. I’m here to ask why? I’m also here to explore how much of the health inspections we care about versus other ones, and like everything else, it seems that the answer is very complicated. There might be a gray area.
