Calm Before the Storm

Calm Before the Storm

Author: Better On Draft Podcast March 23, 2020 Duration: 1:00:20

We were promised a deep cleaned studio and were the first ones in it, so we trekked to Royal Oak where Ken, Rob, and Wendy chat about what is going on in the industry.  Ken makes his pleas to those who are wondering how they can help, and we talk about how we are all doing during this weird time in hospitality.  We bring in some local beers and toast to some of the great beer makers as they are working their asses off.  Want to help?  We have plenty of links at the bottom that could help whether you're a restaurant or someone with some extra money!  Listen to the show and crack open your favorite brew.  You've earned it.
