Mandi McKay joins me via the interwebs to talk about sustainability, which makes sense because she is the Director of Environmental and Social Impact at Sierra Nevada Brewing's Chico, CA headquarters. Mandi has advice for breweries of any size, and even some recommendations for consumers to participate in the sustainability movement while still enjoying that beer.

Alex Rabe and Alex Zilke are two of the three founders of Portico Brewing in Somerville, Massachusetts. They both join me for a conversation about beer, community, greenwashing, and architecture - or not architecture, depending on your perspective. Get it, perspective? It's an architectural joke, you probably wouldn't understand. But I don't either. Enjoy the show. Also, subscribe.

Liz and Jared Kiraly, partners in life and beer, join me on a gloomy New England day to talk about the inspiration behind their "American farmhouse"-style brewery. Not a lot of places focus on Belgian-inspired beers these days, but Bone Up is sticking with what got them into brewing in the first place. Also, waffles.

Open up that special bottle of Belgian beer you've been holding onto and hit play already.
