A podcast 3 years in the making! Vic finally gets Jeff from Heavy Reel Brewing Company [https://www.heavyreelbrewing.com/]and Zach from  Gusto Brewing Company [https://www.gustobrewco.com/]down in the basement. Head brewers Greg and Dan join the group along with Tom and Richard. We talk about the history and growth of both breweries, some of their newest beers, perfect pours and what happens when a beer doesn’t come out as planned. We also get into a conversation about Pork Roll/Taylor Ham (Editor's note: it is clearly pork roll, taylor ham is blasphemy), haunted breweries and mysterious ice cream stands. Like Ozzy a little off the rails, but the train arrives safely.
