EP-278 Collin McDonnell, Henhouse Brewing
b'
Today\\u2019s guest is a revisit with one of my favorite people. Collin McDonnell of Henhouse Brewing in Northern California.
It\\u2019s a bit of a long one, and if you follow GBH closely you probably already understand the nature of my admiration for Collin and the focus of our conversations\\u2014so I won\\u2019t belabor the intro here.
In short, we\\u2019re both business owners who often commiserate, support, and draw out of each other some of the more vulnerable and anxious parts of doing what we do. And our hopes for things being better than they are\\u2014whether that\\u2019s quality and freshness, culture and social justice, and the role that work, beer, and people play in our lives.
The context for today\\u2019s chat, of course, is the particular 2020 Collin and his team are facing\\u2014the pandemic, the fires, the weariness of it all\\u2014but that\\u2019s not to say this is bleak. At least, not to me. I find a certain hope against hope anytime I talk to Collin\\u2014and this was no different.
