On this episode of The Session, Justin hits the road and heads up to South Lake Tahoe, CA. to visit South Lake Brewing Company. Chris and Nicole Smith followed their dream to open a brewery in their beautiful home town and, with more than a fair share of adversity, have become one of the best craft breweries around. Tune in and learn about how this year's 'Snowmaggeddon" affected the town and their brewery, as well as how last year's fires nearly shut them down entirely. We also learn about how amazing Tahoe water and a high elevation present challenges and advantages alike for this small town brewery. Cheers!
