This episode, Andrew is joined by a travel-weary Rob, fresh off a vacation to Scotland that was filled with unexpected drama and a tour of film-famous castles. As Rob recounts the highs and lows of his trip—from a terrifying bout of food poisoning to a custom kilt fitting—the two also dive into some "inside baseball" on the state of the beer industry. The Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrgggghhh. Yeah, that's what happens when dark beers and undercooked steak and kidney pie mix. It's also a Holy Grail castle visited. They discuss everything from distributor shake-ups and the potential for new liquor legislation, to the ongoing capacity crisis and how cities are impacting special event licenses.

Join your host Andrew for a special episode recorded live with Jeremy DeConcini, founder of Motosonora Brewing Company in Tucson. Get an exclusive look into Jeremy's fascinating journey, from a career in law school and a federal government job doing "quasi James Bond stuff" to becoming a brewer. He shares the origin story of how a black lager in the '90s sparked his passion for beer and why he realized he had to master every job at the brewery to survive.

Later, Steve Goetting of Verde Brewing joins the conversation, and the group dives into a wide-ranging discussion. They explore the shifting landscape of the Tucson beer scene, debate the economics of canning and distribution, and tackle a controversial national poll suggesting Americans are drinking less. The hosts and guests also share their thoughts on beer styles, the hospitality side of the business, and why being a brewery owner requires a certain kind of stubborn commitment.
