Even if you’re not into brew, this is an episode you should check out. Down Home Brewing Company burst onto the craft beer scene in late 2017 with kegs of their IPA and Lager in a few select stores. Now, just a few months later, their beer is available in well over 130 spots in the state of Georgia. For anyone who has ever attempted to go commercial with their home brew, you know that is not an easy feat. This week we sat down with Chris Reeves and William Allen Moore of DHBC to discuss their journey.
