Podcast EP 175 – These Uncertain Times – Andy Carter

We break away from our regular format to bring you a discussion regarding the intersection of the COVID-19 situation and the craft beer industry. We are joined by friend of the show and President of California Home Brewers Association Andy Carter to discuss the following:

– “Corona Virus” entering the lexicon early this year, stupid memes, etc.

– The entire world turned upside down last week.

– The tone of brewery social media.

– What does this mean for breweries that were running on fumes?

– Brewers Association’s touch and go approach for CBC and World Beer Cup.

– Breaking down the impact on craft breweries by size.

– Is this a moment of reflection or pivoting for all breweries?

– Any bright side for consumers?

– Creative ways for breweries to survive the storm?

– How can beer drinkers still have fun?

– Revisiting your cellar and other cellar talk.

And much much more!
