217 - Hard Road Brewing

Warren and Davydd are joined by Lein Jenkins from Hard Road Brewing to learn all about his craft brewing adventures.

You can purchase the beers we discuss in the podcast from our online store here: https://the-coolroom-podcast.myshopify.com/products/hard-road-brewing-mixed-6-pack

We hear how a trip to a Californian brewers convention led to Lein and his wife entering the world of brewing, then to running a production brewery and finally to Hard Road itself.

There were lots of learnings along the way and we discuss the highs and lows of the process as well as the difficulty of just finding a good name for a brewery.

We learn about Lein's love of building his own equipment, Warren invites hate mail from Sierra Nevada and Davydd goes all English-teachery about the origins of the word 'drongo'.
