Welcome Back Matt

Longtime friend of the show, brewmaster of Firestone Walker Brewing Matt Brynnildson returns to the states and returns to the show for us to discuss: - Where we left off from our show a few years ago. - Matt's European Sabatical. - The differences in Belgian and US beer cultures. - What it was like jumping back into the fray in Paso Robles. - 25 years of Firestone, 20 years brewing for Firestone. - Bringing New Zealand hops back in the beer geek conversation. - The dynamic working with The Propogator/Sam Tierney. - The ability scale down for R&D? - FIrestone Walker's sustainability efforts. - Looking back on some retired brands/recipies. - Feelings on beers that seem dictated by sales and marketing. - What's next? And much more! And much more! We'd like to thank our sponsor Pure Project, a small batch San Diego brewery making the finest barrel aged sours, stouts, hazy and clear IPAs.
