This week we are staying local with Sole Artisan Ales from right here in Pittston, PA. Founder Joe Percoco sits down with us in the studio to discuss his brewing history and his delicious and much sought after beers.

This week on a Fathers Day edition of BGRH we talk about our personal forefathers in the beer world ... ie, what go us all into beer ... then ramble on about how our tastes have changed over the years since getting into craft beer and touch on how we transition people into the craft beer world and do a quick run down of the beers our fathers drank back in the day!
