The Big Brew Theory #003: Mike Keating | 38 State Brewing

Check out our interview with Mike Keating, co-owner and operator of 38 State Brewing Company.   For a local, stand-alone brewery in Littleton, Colorado, the team at 38 State are delivering quality in a huge way.  After multiple consecutive years of awards at the Denver International Beer Awards and the Great American Beer Festival, the 'proof is in the pint.'  This fantastic portfolio of brews doesn't lean on the flash and awe of trends, weird flavors, adjuncts or other headline-making business tactics.  They keep their beers true to style and their brewery true to its roots and values.  And the beer does more than speak for itself! In order to try 38 State's beers, you'll need to find them out and about at festivals around Denver and the Front Range, at the brewery in Littleton, or select draft accounts in the area. Don't be fooled by the lack of 38 State at your local watering holes.  As you'll hear from Mike, the team is selling all the beer they can make in their own building!  Growth and wider draft availability are in the future for sure, but for now, it's worth the drive to Littleton without a doubt. The interview is quick, but the information is captivating.  Listening to Mike talk about the beer will likely have you switching to headphones or Bluetooth so you can get in the car and start driving his direction! * Forgive any issues with sound quality on this episode.  We had a small microphone glitch while recording.  Or maybe we just did it on purpose so we'd have an excuse to go back for more AWESOME beer at 38 State! ** This interview was originally recorded over the summer of 2017 as part of our podcast pilot.  Since the program launched in October, there may be a few references to events that have already passed.
