Welcome back to another episode of Checkered Cast, we have an interview for you featuring Bess Dougherty, a ska loving beer brewing badass feminist from Denver Colarado. She was the head brewer at The Grateful Gnome & prior to worked at Wynkoop Brewing Co. Tara & Christine chat with her about beer culture, tailgating as a beer rep at Warped Tour, her time brewing beer with the guys of Reel Big Fish, & the story of how she got to talk about home brewing with President Barack Obama. We ask Bess about her favorite bands & how she got into ska music as well. This is a great interview with an iconic rude girl & we wanted to show our support to someone working in an industry hit very hard by the economic impact of the covid shutdown so tune in & pour yourself a glass.
