This week we are excited to have the Co-Founder, JP Goytia, of Turning Point Beer in Bedford, TX. Admittedly, JP is a long-time close friend in the industry and we simply love having him out as we love his brewery, the juice, and their ability to continually rock out culturally relevant branding that draws in the customer base and keeps everyone guessing about what's next... and of course, the occasional C&D!
