200th Episode Celebration

200th Episode Celebration

Author: Better On Draft Podcast November 9, 2019 Duration: 2:24:10

We brought back the guests from episode 100 to chat and give us some updates on the industry.  We talk about the issues with Michigan laws, the kind of party it would be if all the alcoholic guilds of the state got together and threw one big festival, and we discuss some serious solutions the problems we may forsee in the future.

200 episodes ago I would not have imagined having the following we have today, the friends I've made along the way, and the support from both the fans and industry as we continue to lead as the best Friday night podcast about beer in Metro Detroit!

So pop that 40 and join us for this very special (and long) episode.
