In this very entertaining and educational Episode, the Brewmasters of Lincoln County, Dan Ackerman (Lake Norman Brewery), Chris Wertman (Royal Bliss Brewing), and John Brinsfield & Fritz Steckler (Brick Tree Brewing) join Mike Bagwell to talk about all-things Beer. 

As a follow-up to our initial Lake Leads West Side Podcast recorded conversations with the owners of Royal Bliss, Brick Tree Brewing, and Lake Norman Brewery, in this extended episode, our Lincoln County Brewmasters talk about their background and experience, dive a little deeper into the science of making beer, and review the costs associated with start-up home-brew kits and compare them to their current systems.

In addition, Chris, John, Fritz, and Dan shared information about what they have learned since the opening day of their breweries, how they chose their Opening Day beer flavors, and what is involved in choosing the right beers to brew throughout the year.

And lastly, John, Fritz, Dan, and Chris give some great advice to those interested in crafting their own beer and discuss future trends of the Craft Beer Industry.
