In this episode, I sit down with Bonnie Jackson, co-owner of Irene's Tap Room on 12th Street and Northern in Phoenix along with one of her top team members Paul Rosevear. Opening a new business is never easy and Bonnie and her partner Aaron Taylor were no exception to this. One thing after another fell onto the path of opening this place but they never gave up and 2 months ago Irene's Tap Room opened its door. And what an awesome place this is. With their strongly held belief in supporting independent, their tap room only carries independent craft beer and wine with a strong focus on Arizona craft. And what an awesome selection it is, both on tap and on the retail side of things. Stay tuned after the interview to see how you can win 5 drink tokens for Irene's Tap Room. Enjoy the show!

Uwe Boer from Sunup Brewing Company has been making beer for a long time. And good beer at that. In fact he’s responsible for the highest rated Russian Imperial Stout in Arizona. Uwe has been a staple in the Arizona craft beer scene longer than some legal beer drinks have been alive! He’s a great guy with a great story to tell. Enjoy the show!

In this episode I sit down with Greg and Kyle from 24 Hour Hops in Maricopa. If you are like me I love this time of the year. Beautiful weather here in Arizona, events galore and of course, fresh wet hopped beer. But these guys are trying to change this wet hop thing from a one time per year thing to a year round thing. There is one thing hops really love and we have plenty of that here in Arizona: sunshine. I’ve had both beers made with these hops and let me tell you, I was impressed. The brewers who made them were impressed as well. Enjoy the show!

Fantastic craft cocktails made within just a dozen feet from where their handcrafted spirits are made highlight the experience.
