Well that's how Oak Park Brewing Co, Hella Coastal Brewing Co, Hunters Point SpeakEasy Brewing Co, and Full Circle Brewing Co did. Join the conversation of how it all came together.

Many brewers have been inspired to recreate a version of a beer or beers that they have had in Germany. Seldom do you see brewers follow the exact process to create that beer either because the labor and cost would be too high, or technology has provided a faster way to arrive to the desired outcome. Founder and Head Brewer Ross Kelly of Kelly Brewing Company is not that brewer. Ross uses the old world practice of open fermentation to create beer that makes it an after thought that pint number 3 is already finished.

One of the few podcasts that feels real/authentic in a way that’s beyond the dialogue and steps into the realm of the subject matter. Love the freedom in conversation. And I really appreciate how the subject matter speaks to the every day person.

I feel like sometimes when talking about beer, wine or food, the subject dialogue can feel a bit aristocratic, which is where it kinda loses me. But I feel like this podcast is for the everyday person but still enters the realms of high end beer connoisseur and is able to teaches me things 1. I didn’t know about and 2. Which is even more intense, help me understand why I like the beer that I like, by discussing some of the intricacies of what makes a good craft beer. Plus this guy is hilarious 😂. 

Definitely feels new and there are something’s that could be more refined but the subject matter, the conversations, the flow of the podcast is off the charts. I’m excited for the podcast to grow!

Def worth checking out. 🍺

Great conversations
