We're reissuing this episode from 2018 with Lew Stewart, the head brewer at Trophy Brewing in downtown Raleigh. Check out the expanded Trophy Brewing + Pizza location on Morgan Street! 

As a self-described “tinkerer,” Les gets obsessed with figuring things out, and thankfully for us his main obsession is brewing amazing beer. Les talks about everything from chemistry, open-source technology, business development, craft brewing culture, naming new brews, label design, tattoos and even name drops French Scientist Louis Pasteur. Enjoy a Trophy brew while you listen to the podcast!
