Barrel Aged Beer, Old Times, and Cannibal Coffin with Bryan Garcia-Brown
Dec 1201:16:25Tap to summarizeBryan came into my life at a weird time. Our head brewer at Edge, Kerry Caldwell, had just gotten injured on the job, and we needed some reinforcements. My suggestion: bring in a hired gun from Utah to get us through our production run while Kerry recovered in the hospital. If I only could have known how wrong I was. Bryan came in and gave it his all. Almost 10 years later, he is a brewer at one of Idaho’s great breweries, making a name for himself with amazing beers and helping Sockeye build the best barrel aging program in the state. I’m happy to call him a friend and proud of what he’s accomplished. Now you get to hear all about it in part 1 of a 2-part epic podcast with Bryan Garcia-Brown.
