Episode 165: Broken Chair Brewery (or Break the Chair, Save the Beer)

With Todd Bray from Broken Chair Brewery

We hunker down back in the Beer Busters Podcast Basement to welcome owner of Broken Chair Brewery in West Reading, Todd Bray. Todd chats with us about the inspiration and story behind the young brewery, the advantages of being in West Reading, some interesting tidbits about the building the brewery inhabits, and more. Plus, we finally get a chance to try some of the gluten-free beers from Holidaily Brewing in Colorado, and they do not disappoint! Listeners may remember when we interviewed Holidaily owner, Karen Hertz, back in episode 160. Dan reported on some data from the Brewers Association about the state of beer in 2018, plus a Pabst Blue Ribbon Whiskey, and another Harpoon and Dunkin’ collab beer. Wayne hosted a round of Bottom of the Barrel on BeerAdvocate in Happy Fun Time. And, in Know Your Beers, Steph continues her series all about hops with Know Your Hops Part 3.

PATRONS! You won’t want to miss this episode’s Last Call segment, in which the loser of Happy Fun Time is subjected to a rather unpalatable punishment. And we got it on video! Stay tuned to Patreon the Monday after this episode drops to catch the gut-wrenching action!
