Went up to South Thomaston Maine to sit down with Heath Curtis, and Brad And Anna Frost and talk about their hidden gem of brewery.  It boasts what I believe to be the best view of any brewery.  You may have to turn this one up a little a couple of us a little boisterous while couple are soft spoken.  The view, the beer and the company were all awesome. Go visit when they are aloud to open again.

On this episode I sat down with Sam Wilson and Jason Allen co-owners of Black Pug brewing in Brunswick, Maine.  We had a great conversation about their brewery and beer in general.  Sorry this one is a little quiet at times and because it was warm the day we recorded there is a little feed back from the walk in cooler. But either way it was a great time at a great little brewery.
