Episode 150 – How to Win with One Beer Apr 15, 2022

Show notes

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.
