We’re back, baby! The Washington Brewers Guild‘s 2025 Washington Craft Beer Summit took place this week in SeaTac, Washington, bringing nearly 100 Washington breweries together under one roof to meet with vendors, attend expert lectures, and crown the first-ever Washington Craft Beer Hall of Fame inductees. We posted up for a live recording on the showroom floor again this year and had the chance to hang with a few friends.

First was Bryson Foster, a fellow Tacoman who owns and operates Foster’s Creative, a local digital marketing business. Bryson filled us in on his Summit lecture regarding the future of marketing in the craft beer world.

We were also joined by Larry Rock again. Since we last talked, this local craft beer legend retired from Reuben’s Brews for all of one month before joining forces with his long-time buddy Mike Sutherland to help sell the award-winning White Bluffs beer.

Tune in for some tips on marketing in the world of AI, and catch up with Larry to see what has him excited about his recent work.
