Episode 209 - James Murray, Ballast Point Brewing

Happy Monday, Thieves! We're back at Treadwell Park this week as we head into a whole new year of episodes. We recorded this right after our 4th anniversary show with Chief, so things are well lubricated as we welcomed James Murray, the VP of brewing operations at San Diego's Ballast Point Brewing.

The brewery has made a big impact on beer over the years, from popularizing grapefruit flavor in IPA (we talk about zesting and other methods) to their sale to Constellation Brands a few years back for $1 billion. James has been around for it all and shares the story of the brewery as well as some traditional beers for the black glass.
