Summary

Episode 116: Collision Bend Brewing Originating from a day trip to Cleveland, some dude named Phil standing in the street with a stack of pallets (Hey Phil) and a quick discussion about a can of PB Blaster, a few fantastic beers followed Johnny home to become this episode! Previously from Great Lakes Brewing Company, NOW from his own brewery, Collision Bend Brewing Company, Mr. Luke Purcell joins the guys for their first remote phone interview! Getting into some stories of his and the brewery's history, the area surrounding it and even a story about the Edmund Fitzgerald Porter (by GLBC) AND how the river by the brewery caught fire a few times. Yes I did say a RIVER CAUGHT ON FIRE!! Unusually MOST of this episode is about beer, breweries, the brewing process and our community as a whole. While not a lot of BS the guys manage to stay on topic almost the entire time! LOTS of GREAT conversation with Mr. Luke and while this episode is one of our longer ones, the only reason we stopped was the brewery was about to open and we still had to clean up... Thanks again to Luke, Phil and all the crew down at Collision Bend Brewing for the great beers and great conversation! Oh ya, and Happy New year too!
