Episode 139: MaKendree VanHall of Greater Purpose & Comedian Amy Miller
from Barley & Me · host Ben Rice
Host Ben Rice sits down with MaKendree VanHall of Greater Purpose Brewing (Santa Cruz, CA) and Amy Miller, comedian and host of the Who's Your God? Podcast. Greater Purpose started as a church and is now a church/brewery, so I could think of no better pairing to discuss these two seemingly-disparate things. We talk beer communion, conflicts in religious interpretations, diversity and beer and across religious sects, and naming beers after parishioners. Plus! Amy's new Epix special, finding your peace, and Amy leads MaKendree and Ben in a Who's Your God? staple, The Church of You. All this and more, on episode 139 of Barley & Me.
