Dirty Pool Podcast Ep08 – Brewing Beans & Flipping Dreams: Tony from What’s Brewing

We head south to San Antonio to talk to Tony, the owner of What’s Brewing, a coffee roastery that also happens to double as a pinball arcade. We get into the grind of running two very different scenes under one roof, from roasting beans to repairing flippers, and how a city like San Antonio shaped the culture of both. Turns out, coffee people and pinball people might just be the same weirdos.
