Round 8: Breakside Brewery

Ben Edmunds, brewmaster at Breakside (say that 5 times fast) talks about the laid-back Pacific Northwest beer vibe. Ben also details the beer judging process, as well as how judging helps him improve his brewing game. I drink a Breakside IPA straight from the bottle like a heathen.

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.
