The Art of the Craft: Life, Lyrics, and Lager with Joe Whiting – Ep. 471

You’re in for a real treat today because on this episode I am joined by my good buddy (and an INCREDIBLE musician), Joe Whiting. Joe hasn’t been on the show since November 2021, so I thought it would be great to catch up with him, recap his history as a brewer, and hear his perspective on how homebrewing has changed, the current state of homebrewing, and his thoughts on the potential future for our favorite hobby.

Thank you so much for tuning into the Homebrew Happy Hour podcast!… THE home brew #podcast where we answer all of your home brewing questions and discuss anything related to craft beer!
