Thanks to co-founders Jeff & Mike at Burning Beard Brewing for hosting ThePodCraft onsite.

In Part 1, Chris & Charlie do some interviewing, Jeff & Mike do some answering, and we all get to sample three fantastic beers from Burning Beard:

Update from Tech Guy Steve (10/25/2020) -- "At the start of the podcast #15 (and in the MP3 notes) I mentioned that we drank the "In Praise of Bacchus" (Belgian Sour). This was an error, what we really had was the excellent "In Praise Of Pear" (American Wild Ale)."
