Episode 110 - Ashley Rotruck - "The Queen of Sours" - Craft Beer Influencer

Our good friend Ashley Rotruck joined us for this episode, and we had a great time with a lot of laughs.

We've labeled Ashley "The Queen of Sours", due to her love of fruited sour beers, and it's well earned.

Ashley - AKA- @brewdettewv, has a huge following of her Instagram beer page, and it's how we got to know her.

In this episode, we start out by all 3 of us having a flight of 4 fruited sour beers - Steve and Scott have 4 different beers from Rar Brewing, from their 'Out of Order' series, that Ashley sent us. Ashley has a flight of 4 fruited beers from XUL and Southern Grist - all from Tennessee, that we sent her. We may have all been pre-diabetic after drinking those beers.

We ask Ashley about when and how she started her beer page, how and what she posts on her page, Instagram algorithms, real beer pages vs. phony ones, what she drank before craft beer, how are women perceived in craft beer and so much more.

Ashley is famously known for her love of pickle beers, and we take a deep dive into those.

We thank Ashley so much for joining us and spending so much time with us. She gave us so much great content and really knows her stuff. We value her friendship and her continued support of the craft beer industry. She's a great ambassador for craft beer and the craft beer community.

Cheers!

Steve and Scott
