Better on Draft Not 386 | Short Announcement

Author: Better On Draft Podcast March 14, 2026 Duration: 5:15

We had some real-world difficulties this week so cut the show very short. 

Episode 386 will be on March 27 and will most likely be a news show.

April 10 we will talk to Kristen Radaich about her book: Beer Hiking Minnesota, Wisconsin & the Upper Peninsula: Great Hikes and Breweries from the Twin Cities to the Northwoods

May 8 we have Nick Lesogor of Exit 12 Homebrew to learn about BrewTubers, an online homebrew club. 


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.
