In this episode of The Cheers! North County podcast we replay the very first interview we did for this show. I was joined by talented San Diego-based food and beverage writer, and recent winner of the North American Guild of Beer Writers 2019 Diversity in Beer Writing Grant, Beth Demmon in April. Our conversation then focused on the social impact of losing access to our drinking establishments during the COVID-19 pandemic, her favorite local places, and expectations for the food and beverage industry as we progress to a new normal. The conversation seems weirdly applicable all these months later. 

Thanks for listening.
