This is THE BREW MAP PROJECT edition of Double Hopbeat.  We’re mapping the real stories behind homebrewing across the country, the good ones, the quiet ones and the unfinished ones. Moments that changed how brewing felt and sometimes why it stopped. These are the stories that don’t usually get told. Every stop has a story and we’re mapping them one brewer at a time. Let’s hit the road!
