Episode 8: Half Acre Beer Co.'s Far & Away

Author: Brandon E. Gaylor October 16, 2018 Duration: 47:28
In this episode we dive into a full recap of the first-ever Half Acre Invitational, Far & Away. The event took place in Chicago, IL on October 13, 2018.

There's a certain magic in the sound of a cap being popped or a can being cracked, a prelude to discovery. Let's Sip!-A Craft Beer Podcast is built around that moment, hosted by Brandon E. Gaylor. This isn't just a checklist of tasting notes, though you'll certainly hear those. It's a deeper look at the culture and community that bubbles up around the craft. Each episode feels like pulling up a stool next to a friend who's equally passionate about what's in the glass. You'll hear conversations about the stories behind local breweries, the artistry of different brewing techniques, and how a simple beverage can become a centerpiece for connection. The podcast explores why we gather, what we talk about over a pint, and how small-batch beer reflects larger societal shifts. So, whether you're a seasoned hophead or just curious about what makes a hazy IPA special, grab your favorite brew. This is an invitation to slow down, savor the flavor, and think a little more about what you're drinking. Tune in for genuine, meandering chats that are as much about the people and places as they are about the beer itself.
