HCPC40: 8-Bit Aleworks - Video Game Inspired Brewery, Hacking Beers, Awesomeness

Hoppy Craftsmen - Arizona Craft Beer Podcast

(NSFW) This episode finds the guys in Avondale, AZ at 8-Bit Aleworks. We sit down with Ryan and Krystina Whitten to talk about their totally awesome, video game inspired brewery, hacking beers and the overall awesomeness of 8-Bit Aleworks. Tune in and listen to us fire off our tried and true rapid round questions, as well as discussions about the similarity of brewing equipment vs. meth lab gear to the Po-Po, the upcoming final anniversary (calm down, it’s not literally “final”), the myth of million-dollar brewery start-up costs, the awesomeness of dealing with the city of Avondale, the less awesome dealing with general contractors. Then marvel at the ridiculousness of how many times Jeff says “ooooooooh” then as his dreams are realized at the mention of a newly hacked The Hef is a Lie infusion. Cheat code: Banana’s Foster.

The assorted sounds of three ageing humans hitting things in a studio for five days. Beautifully nasty and pretty vile at times but ultimately gorgeous. Enjoy!
