About this episode

The episode discusses the current state and future of the craft beer industry, exploring its challenges and trends.

Is craft beer in danger? Is it doomed to failure? I suppose that depends on who you ask, or what articles you have been reading, but I think it’s a complicated answer. This week’s episode is a bit of a rant, fueled by a couple great beers. I open up a can of Frau Gruber Pilsner, and then a can of Fat Head’s Alpha Ambush, and go deep into my thoughts about the current state of the industry. I can’t thank you enough for being a part of this show, live on Monday nights (9:30ish) every single week… It’s a ton of fun and love watching how things keep growing and evolving!
