The Brewing Network Presents | The Session

California has a rich beer brewing history - from kicking the whole "micro beer" phase off, to housing some of the most influential breweries on the market today.

Not Gluten-reduced ... gluten-free. That's a big deal. Today we chat with Mike, founder of Buck Wild, to learn more about his journey into homebrewing, and how that led him to open his own place.

Sure, middle America is basically LagerTown USA, but not all beers being produced out there have to fit within that cold-stored mold. The boys at McFleshman's Brewing are churning out some well-crafted English ales, in addition to their lager line up. We talk about how offering a wide variety of both German and English-style beers has been for the community, as well as what it's like to run several beer engines at the pub.

Drawing on his homebrewing knowledge - and probably a ton of information from TBN - Chad is turning his community into a craft beer center, one drinker at a time. Learn more about your ad choices.
