  • Conversations Over Beer

    Longtime listener, first time reviewer: I love the witty banter and candid conversations that happen over beer & this podcast is no exception to the rule.

    There’s a little bit of chaos mixed in with the conversation that I feel appeals to a curious beer drinker like me as well as people working in the brewing space.

    Augie’s “often wrong, always confident” mannerisms paired with John’s journalistic prowess makes this podcast a favorite listen of mine.

    Keep up the great work, fellas! Cheers!
