Episode 80 - Jeffers Richardson, Firestone Walker Brewing Co.

Episode 80 - Jeffers Richardson, Firestone Walker Brewing Co.

Happy Monday everybody! We have our old pal Jeffers Richardson from Firestone Walker back on the show today. You may remember that we did a mini-episode with Jeffers at Extreme Beer Fest earlier this year, but this time we got him to sit down for the full-on and boy was it fun. We could have talked for hours about the Barrelworks division of FW which he helms or about the amount of Total Acidity in some of his beers. But alas we were constrained to a measly 45 minutes. Check it out nonetheless -- a great episode!
