Episode 5 - Yiga Miyashiro, Saint Archer Brewing Company

Today I’m having a beer with Yiga Miyashiro. For the past seven years he’s been the Director of Brewing Operations at Saint Archer Brewing Company. Before that he began his career at Port Brewing/Lost Abbey, and then worked his way up through the ranks at Pizza Port. We talk about the Saint Archer Research and Development program putting out small batches of beer at Saint Archer, the importance and value of mentorship in the brewing industry, and how they’ve maintained a scrappy vibe.

And if you’re a listening hospital worker or first responders know you get half off beer at both Saint Archer Tasting room, and they’re donating $1 to the United States Bartenders Guild for every case of to-go beer sold at the tasting rooms.
