There's a person behind every pint, and Better on Draft | Craft Beer Podcast is where you get to know them. Hosted by Dan Cook, Wendy Taylor, Rob Wilson, and Ken Konarzewski Jr., this isn't just a tasting show-it's a deep and often lively conversation about the entire world of craft brewing. You'll hear directly from the brewers themselves, the passionate individuals who turn ideas into the beer in your glass, sharing their unique journeys, challenges, and inspirations. The discussion naturally flows from these personal stories into the wider industry, with the hosts providing regular updates on relevant news and upcoming events that matter to enthusiasts and professionals alike. What sets this podcast apart is its live, communal feel; it's recorded every other Friday evening, creating a real-time forum where questions can be asked and the excitement is palpable. Whether you're deeply invested in the business of beer, curious about the artistry of new styles, or simply love the culture surrounding a great local brew, these conversations offer a rich, behind-the-scenes perspective. It’s an authentic look at the craft, one story and one sip at a time.
