CRAFT BEER PODCAST INFO: We ask the question that every brewery in progress asks themselves. What will make their brewery unique, special, and stand out against a crowd of nearly 10,000 other breweries in the country. We ponder the same question by asking what we as the consumer wants? Ken, Wendy, and Dan talk about what they look for in their favorite breweries, what can be turn offs to them, and what we may want to see more of. Wendy talks about the kind of games she’d like to see more of, Ken talks about wanting in both bars and breweries the ABV plastered everywhere, and Dan talks about running into waitstaff who just don’t seem to know or care about the beer they’re serving. What makes a brewery good for you other than the good beer? Send us a message or just us live Fridays at 7:15pm ET
