The Beer Temple Podcast

It's a very special episode as we welcome in Conner Cain - the winner of the Insider For A Day auction benefitting Lurie Children's Hospital. Conner helped pick the topis as well as the guest. In store for today we have Tom Beckman of Goldfinger Brewing and Jude La Rose of Hop Butcher. Doug Veliky also makes an appearance too for good measure. 

Special thanks to Conner and Doug for making this happen!

A Classic Roundtable Episode!

We invite Andrew Burman of Other Half Brewing and long time friend of the pod Kevin Carey of Begyle to talk about what it means to own, operate and expand in a market where others are shutting their doors. 

We promise this is not a fantasy draft episode! Instead the GM's of the fantasy Draught league decide draft orders through an elaborate blind-tasting system!
