Episode 510 - Fred Bueltmann, the Beervangelist

Happy Monday, Thieves! We're kicking off a group of shows from Kalamazoo, Michigan. The local tourism board invited John and Augie to experience the sub-zero temperatures and local beers in advance of the city's Craft Beverage Week.

The Kalamazoo Craft Beverage Week runs from February 1 - 8, 2025 and highlights the best in drinks from the area's breweries, wineries, distilleries, and cider producers. We're kicking off this group of shows with long-time Michigan beer evangelist Fred Bueltmann, who spent time working for Bell's, New Holland, and others. He gives us the lay of the land in Michigan.

He's joined by local reporter and beer supporter John Liberty, an ambassador for Craft Beverage week. Liberty will be back as the guest next week.

Thanks to Discover Kalamazoo for hosting us for these shows! Tune in and let us know what you think!
