Episode 77 - Festival Road Trip

We deliver information on keeping your draft beer lines clean and a road trip to the Portland Craft Beer Festival in Episode 77. We also discuss the new Brewers Association Independent craft brewer seal and announce the winner of our HOPCLOTH shirt contest. Find out what beer John gave a 5 cap rating to and listen to Denny talk about some great beers from Barley Browns and pFriem Family Brewers. So grab a beer and open your ears for a ton of craft beer talk. We encourage you to prepare for our listener tasting notes segment in this episode by picking up a bottle of the Founders Dirty Bastard Scotch Ale and tasting along with us.

We are proud to partner with HOPCLOTH apparel and invite you to visit their site at https://www.hopcloth.com to find great craft beer themed clothing that remind people “Craft beer is not alcoholism...it’s a hobby!” And let them know we sent you.
