Eatin’ Bananas & Buildin’ a Brewery with Jason De La Torre of Ogopogo Brewing

In this episode of The Hop Show with Javi, he sits down with Jason De La Torre, brewer and co-founder of Ogopogo Brewing in San Gabriel, CA. While they sip on Ogopogo’s brews, they chat about how Jason initially bonded with co-founder Ryan Edell in the Saint Archer lab over their former pro music (Jason) and pro baseball (Ryan) backgrounds. They then dig into the story of starting Ogopopgo, their original plans for a brewpub, designing and building their brewhouse from the ground up, their upcoming collab with one of Jason’s favorite bands (PPL MVR), and his viral content series involving a banana.
