Episode 50: Ben Roesch From Murder Hill Brewery

It's no surprise that the boys at Moynagh's know their way around a beer. But when it comes to making the magic elixir they leave it up to the experts like Ben Roesch. Ben started brewing at home which led to a couple of brewery jobs and eventually founding Wormtown Brewery in Worcester, Mass. The brewery's beers came to be identified as one of the many great things that the city is known for. He eventually left Wormtown to start Murder Hill Brewery in Whitinsville, Mass. A much smaller operation and that's the way he likes it. He gives the boys a clinic on what it takes to brew a great beer, where the name comes from and what he loves about brewing.
