We are at the home of one of the biggest music festivals... Reading... But not at Reading Festival! We are in a warehouse 15 minutes from Reading Train station.

Inside that warehouse are Dane White and Dom Gemski, co-founders of Phantom Brewing Co.

In this episode, I speak to Dane and Dom about their upcoming pop-punk festival, ' Hop Punk Festival' (find out more via this link https://www.instagram.com/hoppunkfestival/). 

We also talk about the connections between punk rock and craft beer brewing, how they came to brew a beer named after pop punk lyrics and song titles, why the most prominent craft brewing company in Europe is anything but punk, and I ask the question... Was Matt Skiba a success or failure in Blink 182?
