Welcome to the first Barrel Chat After Dark show! This was recorded after our interview with Science Project Brewing's head brewer Cody Moon. He brought out more beer and we got down to the brass tax on topics like: ceiling fans, dogs, smoothie sours, the Logansport Berries, and more.
We broke down the studio and headed two hours north to Logansport, IN to meet with Science Project Brewing's head brewer, Cody Moon. During the hour-long interview, Cody told us about the small brewery in his garage that he calls homebrew, how he joined Science Project, and why he brews so many collaboration beers.
