Barley & Me

On episode 47, host Ben Rice visits an undisclosed location to talk about the state of the beer union. With him are Andy Armstrong of American River Brewing, his wife Lea, Kyle Leddy of Moonraker Brewing, his wife Claire, his daughter Olive, and Sacramento Beer Group founder Chris Guthrie. We talk about the Lagunitas and Wicked Weed buyouts, AB InBev's purchase of the entirety of the South African hop crop, and the future of the beleaguered 12 Rounds Brewing in Sacramento. PLUS Ben sings some metal, Kyle puts on a snazzy child's jacket, Chris does his best Olive impersonations, muchos chugs, and more!Follow Barley & Me on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @barleyandmepodFollow American River Brewing on Facebook and Instagram @americanriverbrewingFollow Moonraker Brewing on Facebook and Instagram @moonrakerbrewingArtwork by Jessica DiMesioIntro Music: "JamRoc" by Breez (@mr4proaudio)ALSO you can now get $5 off your first Lyft ride by using the promo code "BarleyAndMe".
