Episode 307 - Brandon Jones, Yazoo Brewing & Embrace the Funk

We're hard pressed to find another brewer that has also won an Emmy award, so it's a real treat to welcome Brandon Jones onto the show this week. He's the brains and brawn behind Embrace the Funk, the wild program out of Yazoo Brewing in Nashville, Tennessee.

From talking hops and fermentation to his various pet peeves, Jones is one of the more thoughtful brewers in America today. He shares his expertise and passion in a way that is infectious.

And while it might not be an EGOT, he's now the first person to have appeared on all of Holl's various interview podcasts. He was obviously saving Steal This Beer for last, since Augie says it's the best.

Speaking of Augie, this episode gives birth to yet another collaboration beer, this time with Jones and Even Watson. We'll keep you posted.

When we started this recording it seemed like the postal service was going to let us down with Jones' delivery, but just as glass one was being discussed, the beers arrived, properly chilled (thanks to some frigid middle Tennessee weather) and we had a full complement of palates.

Jones is a man who knows the funk. We're glad to have him on the show this week. Tune in and let us know what you think!
