Barley & Me

Host Ben Rice travels to SacYard Community Taphouse to meet with San Diego's original craft brewery Karl Strauss, via their Northern California sales reps Peter August & Jeff Broaddus, as well as beer marketer Emily Hutto of Rad Craft Beer. We chat about Karl Strauss Brewing's history in America's craft beer scene, how they've stayed relevent and even managed to expand their brand, as well as their slew of recent collabs, including the New California IPA brewed with the legendary Russian River Brewing. Emily tells us how she got her start in PR/marketing/brand management through a career in journalism and the importance of building a network. We delve into adorable pets (please see the Barley & Me Instagram for proof), re-connecting with old friends through beer, and the actual Karl Strauss's many exploits, including but not limited to his dabbling in a macro beer you might know and love. All this and more, on episode 108 of Barley & Me. Enjoy!Check out the New California IPA wherever fine indepen
