  • For all beer lovers!

    A great mix of the history and science of beer, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at owning and operating a brewery. Always interesting; always entertaining. My only wish…that I lived closer to McFleshmans to have more opportunities to enjoy their pints!

    Sincerely, McFleshmans’ #1 fan from MN!

  • Great

    Big fan of this Podcast. So much so, my Bestie and I made the five hour trek to grab a pint (or two) and check this place out. It did not disappoint. Met Joel and had the bell run as a I ordered a 547. Not being an IPA guy, it was very good. Great experience and look forward to making another visit. My only regret, missing Gary by a couple of hours. Next time!
