Episdoe FFC200 - Extreme Beer Festival with Firestone Walker & Foundation Brewing

In the first of our Extreme Beer Fest special episodes recorded live from the floor of the convention hall, we talk to Jeffers Richardson of Firestone Walker and Joel Mahaffey of Foundation Brewing.

Jeffers was the original brewmaster for Firestone. After taking a sojourn to work at Sierra Nevada, and later in the olive oil industry, he recently returned to the company as head of Barrelworks, Firestone's wild and sour facility in Buellton.

Joel is the co-founder of Foundation Brewing in Portland, Maine. He tells us about running an upstart brewery in one of the best beer cities in the country and how the brewing community along Industrial Way (which currently includes Allagash, Bissell Brothers, and Austin Street) fosters cooperation and creativity.

As always you can (and should) email your questions, complaints, whimpers, or whines to us at stealthisbeerpodcast@gmail.com. We read everything we get and we'll try to respond as quickly as we can. If not online, then on air. And THANKS!
