Lazy Boy Brewery, Distribution and Hop Contracts - Washington Beer Talk #15

This week I visited Lazy Boy Brewery in Everett, WA. Everett and its stash of breweries are easily accessible via the Interurban Trail, a nice little bike path that combines some street and trail riding along I-5 to connect cities along the I-5 corridor. Lazy Boy has been around for 12 years making it one of the oldest breweries around. I know that sounds weird, but craft beer hasn't been the monster it is for all the long. Perhaps because of this breweries age, we learn of some stuff that we might not have heard of otherwise, hop contracts and using Budweiser as a distributor instead of as a nemesis among them.Support the podcast and give the gift of beer at Craft Beer Club.Join me at Gigantic Bicycle Fest August 24-26 2018.
