In this episode of Beers That FITZ, we sit down with Mike Yates, Head Brewer of White Lion Brewing Company in Springfield, Massachusetts. Mike shares his journey through the Western Mass beer industry, from his early days under one Ray to coming full circle to work alongside White Lion’s founder, Raymond Berry Jr.

We dive into White Lion’s history, born from a vision to bring local craft beer to Springfield and now a community fixture at 1500 Main Street. Mike gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the creativity behind their lineup, including their Carnival Candy Sour, classic pilsner, and innovative seltzers. Grab a pint and join us as we explore what makes White Lion a local favorite!
