Episode 75: Brewphoria 13 Part 1

Brewphoria 13 at Canal Street Pub

We return as podcasters-in-residence once again for this year’s Brewphoria beer fest at Canal Street Pub and Restaurant in Reading, PA. Brewphoria is a semi-annual beer fest that’s brought some of the best breweries from the region and beyond to our hometown since 2007. Some familiar faces (or voices, I guess) return from last year’s event along with some newcomers. Brewphoria is truly one of the area’s best beer events, and a must for beer lovers who prefer their fests a bit more intimate with room to breathe and chat with the brewers, reps and fellow attendees in an awesomely chill atmosphere.

Due to length, this is a two part episode. Listen to Part 2 here.
