S4 Ep. 48: Brewery Pioneer
b"Here we are again to celebrate another December 15th... A fabulous day for film history marking the release of such greats as Gone with the Wind, Million Dollar Baby, and Spice World. Oh yeah, and the day Untappd released its Year in Beer Wrap-up for 2021! We're celebrating all the new beer we had this year and there are many highlights we expect to see as the week rolls on, but this episode is all about the pioneer days. There are over 8,000 breweries in the US, over 11,000 in Europe, and Asia is catching up in craft, while still producing the most beer in the world! Only a few years ago China alone was making almost twice as much suds as the U.S. per year! So, Harrison is not lying when he says that we're in a golden age of beer, and we may even say we're in an even golder age for beer exploration. On this episode of #DrinkingSocially, hosts Harrison Hickok and Jon Dispenza are going to grab some supplies and head west, east, or downtown in the spirit of adventure and discovery. They'll be fording the rivers in their Honda Civics, and hunting for new breweries in their local bottle shops to discover their own version of a California gold rush. Let's join them for the ride."
