We are joined by longtime Chicago based writer and author of Barrel Aged Stout and Selling Out: Goose Island, Anheuser-Busch, and How Craft Beer Became Big Business. In part 1 of our discussion, we talk about:

- How Josh began writing and when he pivoted to covering beer in the Chicago area.

- Jumping head first into writing about Goose Island's sale to Anheuser-Busch in 2011.

- AB giving Josh access to key stakeholders of the Goose Island transaction.

- The key member of AB's team Josh was not given access to.

- Possibility of a second book or new editions.

- Tracking the taste of Goose Island beers post acquisition.

- Danny's experience with post-acquisition AB beers.

And much more!
