In this second installment of our trip to the 2024 Firestone Walker Invitational in Paso Robles, CA. we change things up a bit topic-wise. For this discussion we decided to cover some of the things that breweries do other than beer, like community outreach, partnerships, causes, and involvement in things that their customers care about. So we enlisted Natalie Cilurzo from Russian River Brewing in California, DJ MCCready from Mountain Culture in New South Wales, Australia, and Bob Kunz from Highland Park in Los Angeles. Listen in as we discuss it all live from the Firestone Walker Invitational Beer Festival. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
