The Brewery Adventure

Heart-Shaped Hops

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2432245/fan_mail/new] GRUNGE UNPLUGGED. That's right, it's all happening! In this episode, Willard, Lee, and Jamnick join us for a few beers and chat about their own brewery adventure, including their upcoming Iowa tour and their collab beer with Heavy Rotation Brewing. If you've listened to previous episodes or know me at all, then you're already aware Grunge Unplugged is my favorite local band and a huge part of my brewery adventure. I am beyond excited for this episode and incredibly thankful they were willing to hang out with us and share a few stories over beers.
