Visiting Worthy Brewing for me was like a pilgrimage, or a trip to Willy Wonka's factory. Or both. I had been drinking Worthy beers for a few years before I started this podcast, and their Lights Out Stout is one of my favorites. But when I went out to the Worthy campus to do this interview, I had no idea how cool this place really was. It's like a fantasy playland for beer lovers. They do live shows on two stages, indoors and out; they serve experimental beers on tap that you can't get anywhere else; they have a garden where they not only grow their own hops but they actually develop new strains of hops, in collaboration with students from a local ag engineering program. AND they have their own observatory, with an actual astronomer on staff. 

I had some audio issues that day, so this episode didn't come out as great as I wanted it to. But the conversation was fantastic. I could seriously talk beer with these guys all week. Ever since then I've been looking forward to going back.
