Episode 151 – R3's Brewing Hustle30 Apr 202201:27:08
Back in 2017, Ray Ricky Riveria was working towards having his own brewery - Norwalk Brew House. Today, NBH is a reality, but not in the way you'd normally think. We examine how he's partnering with breweries to grow his brand - one beer at a time. Who says you need to own shining metal tanks to have great beer?

Episode 150 – How to Win with One Beer15 Apr 2022

Programming Note: Sorry for the delay in new episodes. Drew has been sick, but hey – here’s a new episode!
We all know it takes hard work, planning, great brewing and a bit of luck to win a homebrew competition, but what does it take to win an entire state – with just one beer? We sit down with Michael Gwynn, who did pretty much that – with an assist from a certain pandemic – to win the Oregon Homebrewer of the Year.
