NOTICE: We are aware of the background noise in this episode and are unable to fix it. We were left with the choice of scrapping the episode or continuing our goal of pushing breweries and their stories. We hope you enjoy!

We are live Fridays at 7pm EST on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/betterondraft. You can also watch us live on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/betterondraft, on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/bodpodcast, or on our website www.betterondraft.tv.

A long time in the making, but we have such a great show for you.  We sit down with Jonathan 'Danger' Cole for about two hours talking about his time in the industry and we get to sample five (of the six) upcoming Fury releases from Witch's Hat.  We get a inside perspective of the new laws and changes within the industry as well as get the opportunity to try some more amazing Witch's Hat Beers and to our surprise, Witch's Hat full kitchen of amazing food (don't sleep on the spent grain pretzels).  

We reach topics about beer releases, adjustment due to COVID, and what we as the consumers can do to make things better on the brewers!  That and so much more, so crack open that beer and have a listen!

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.
