Ever find yourself at the crossroads of curiosity and thirst, yearning for a path sprinkled with laughter and deep dives into the craft beer world? Our latest episode is a frothy mix of both, as we share tales from Two Roads Brewing in Stratford, Connecticut, and dissect their Lil' Heaven Crushable IPA and the casino-collab Jackpot Juice Hazy IPA. We're not just about the suds, though; join us for a round-table discussion that hops from the comedic genius of Conan O'Brien to the camaraderie and competition brewed by beer passports and trivia nights.
But it's not all hops and giggles. As, we explore the serious side of brewing, discussing how Two Roads not only crafts a mean beer but also leads the way in contract brewing opportunities. We then take a sobering turn to reflect on the sustainability initiatives of this century-old factory turned brewery, sharing how they're pioneering in green practices from solar fields to water conservation. It's a conversation that pours out insights on resource conservation, all while still maintaining the flavor of our favorite brews.
We then navigate through the more intricate landscapes of border security, immigration reform, and the daunting reality of child trafficking. This episode isn't afraid to address the bitter notes of today's pressing social issues, balancing the heaviness with a lighter froth of human versus grasshopper leaps and the intoxicating fact about global inebriation levels. So grab your favorite pint, and let's toast to an episode that's equal parts enlightening and entertaining.
