You might not recognize the name of this episode's guest, but Jeremy Hosier actually had a lot of influence on my craft beer journey. He was the manager of Westmere Beverage, a fantastic beer-only store in Guilderland, NY within walking distance of my apartment from 2007-2015. I was there so often that we struck up a friendship and he even gave me the employee discount.
Around 2011 Jeremy and some of his friends/colleagues started Steadfast Beer Company. They made only gluten-free beers that actually tasted like beer (not all twangy like Red Bridge). It doesn't look like they're still in business, although their website is still active.
Unfortunately, Jeremy died in early 2020 right when COVID hit. I'm not sure if that was the cause of his death, though.
I included two back-to-back interviews with him I conducted in the summer of 2012: one as a beer company owner and one as the manager of a beer store. Even if you're not familiar with Mr. Hosier, I think the inside information he provides is fascinating. And as a bonus I included two tours of Westmere Beverage from 2009 and 2011.
