This week Brewery Travels the Steel City, Pittsburgh, PA! On with Joel this week: Bob Batz Jr., writer and editor for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette who has covered the craft beer scene since its early days, and Kenny Gould, founder of Hop Culture Magazine and who is now Director of Strategic Sales at Untapped. They discuss a variety of topics, including the history of craft beer in the city, Pittsburgh Brewing Company’s resurgence, Barrel & Flow Festival, and much more! Joel has visited over 900 breweries across 44 states plus Washington D.C. and has been able to make connections with many amazing individuals because of his travels. He is currently living on the road with his family, constantly “exploring more content and doing extensive research” (which just means visiting breweries and drinking beer)! The goal of Brewery Travels is to provide more information about craft beer scenes from around the country and shine a light on some of the excellent individual breweries that call these cities home.

From Portland, Maine to San Diego, California. Austin, Texas to Duluth, Minnesota. The bright lights of New York City to the farmland of rural Iowa. Brewery Travels plans to run the gauntlet of locations, providing in-depth information on as many places as possible. With episodes coming out weekly on Thursdays, Brewery Travels is where you can get your fix if you enjoy a craft beer or traveling. Cheers!  DRINK LOCAL EVERYWHERE!
