HOPTALK Ep 2: Josh McCombs from The Brewery at Abigaile

Welcome to episode TWO of the HOPTALK podcast by Hopped LA. HOPTALK is our exploration into the behind-the-scenes world of Los Angeles craft beer from conversations with the people that brew, serve, and drink it. In episode two, Gary sits down with Josh McCombs, the new head brewer at The Brewery at Abigaile in Hermosa Beach, CA where we cover what it’s like to work for a brewery acquired by AB-InBev, brewing beers to pair with beachside drinking, and the future of the brewing program at Abigaile, including their upcoming Brewtopia eventwhere they’re pouring unlimited tastes from 11 local breweries (including Josh’s brand new beers from Abigaile!) paired up with a complimentary buffet from their kitchen. It’s going down on Saturday, April 27th and tickets are $30. Tune in to episode two at the video above, the audio player below, iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher.
