Description

Welcome to Crafty Brewers, where we’ll increase your enjoyment of craft beer. In every episode, we’ll go from grain to glass with a different craft brewery — and have fun doing it! Join hosts Brian Noonan, semi-professional beer drinker, and Katherine Valleau, co-owner of Exit Strategy Brewing Co. in Forest Park, IL, as they host candid conversations with brewers and find out what brought them to a life of beer. They explore the styles, trends, and science that makes craft beer so great, expose hilarious "bad customer behavior," and bust beer myths so you can impress your friends with facts.
