Justin Kendall and Jess Infante of Brewbound joined us this week. We dived deep into the beer business, covering everything from the Great American Beer Festival and COVID-19's impact on the industry to the Jersey Shore's craft beer scene and whether Ames is a better college town than Iowa City. It's not. Don't worry. 

We had the honor of talking with Ken Hehir, CEO of Tivoli Brewing Company, great friend, and mentor. Ken shared some of the lessons he's learned during his 30-year career in the beer industry including a few marketing and branding wins and losses. We also examined the false dichotomy between "big beer" and "craft beer" and discussed what the next 18-24 months might look like for the industry.  It was a fascinating interview.
