Lagered Tales

In the final episode of Season 2, we dig into the secret lives and hidden talents of three Beau’s employees and find out what really cool things we found out they do when they are not at the brewery. After that Eddy explores the intriguing phenomenon of “Super Fans” and their obsessions, and we meet Chris Rayburn, the superfan-turned-Beau’s-sales-rep who wrote the Lagered Tales theme song.

We’re so pumped to have Jenn Grant playing Beau’s Oktoberfest this year that we had to get her on the podcast.

Denise Morin, Beau’s Quality Manager, tells the story of how she helped create a certified organic radler for Beau’s. We toast the dads for Father’s Day, and we tell a few dad-jokes too.
