Trailblazers Panel Pt. 1

We're pre-empting your regularly scheduled podcast to bring to you... a special live recording of our Trailblazers NTX Beer Week panel! We assembled an all-star summit to discuss the past, present & future of craft beer in North Texas: Fritz Rahr of Rahr & Sons Brewing Co., Dennis Wehrmann of Franconia Brewing Co., Jamie Fulton of Community Beer Co., Tim Deemer of Lakewood Brewing Co., Dan Heinzerling of Humperdinks Restaurant & Brewery, Keith Schlabs of Flying Saucer Draugh Emporium, Rick Ali of Lone Star Beverages & Brian Brown, Beer Historian & Co-Author of North Texas Beer:: A Full-Bodied History of Brewing in Dallas, Fort Worth and Beyond! From brewpubs to buyouts to bubbles, these veterans covered it all!

This is a live, outdoor recording, and as such there is a bit of rustling microphones and unavoidable background noise caught on tape. Don't let it deter you from listening, though! Our panelists brought some excellent insight, and this is a conversation worth hearing for any craft beer fan in the NTX area! This is the opening panel discussion segment, the audience Q&A will be in your feed tomorrow!
