Happy Monday, Thieves! We were in Washington, DC recently for the 2017 Craft Brewers Conference. We'd intended to post these episodes a couple of weeks ago but got sidetracked by the ABI news cycle, and ended up pushing them back. But they're here and they're fabulous as ever! 

First up we have Ray Daniels, the founder of the Cicerone Certification Program. Ray joined us at Churchkey one raining morning in April to talk about founding the program and where he hopes it will go. Tune in and find out.!

Next week we'll have Greg Engert, beer director at Churchkey and all the other awesome Neighborhood Restaurant Group spots. Fun stuff!

Episode 109 - Ethan Fixell, editor of ABI's The Beer Necessities Blog

Hey y'all. We got a new episode today with Ethan Fixell, editor of the website The Beer Necessities, which is bankrolled by Anheuser-Busch's The High End. We recorded this on the same day as Episode 108, which dug into the Wicked Weed ABI buyout among other news. We just happened to have Ethan booked that very same day (honestly!) so we put him on the spot about all of this. Tune in and hear what he has to say as an employee of ABI.

(Coincidentally, over the last three weeks with Meg Gill, Wicked Weed news, and now Ethan, we've managed to have three ABI episodes in a row. Def didn't plan it that way, we swear!)
