Episode 26: Richmond, VA - Featuring Alicia Valenski & Allie Hochman

Richmond, Virginia is regarded as a top craft beer destination, and it is the focus of this week’s episode. Joel invites Alicia Valenski (Co-founder of Work For Your Beer) and Allie Hochman (General Manager of Starr Hill Brewery’s Richmond location) to chat about the amazing beer scene there. Starting off with a discussion on the Scott’s Addition neighborhood, they also talk about how the beer scene meshes with the food scene, the impact of Stone Brewing’s facility, and what their personal favorite spots are. Follow Alisha on Instagram: @aliciavalenski  Joel has visited over 700 breweries across 44 states plus Washington D.C. and has been able to make connections with many amazing individuals because of his travels. He is currently living on the road with his family, constantly “exploring more content and doing extensive research” (which just means visiting breweries and drinking beer)! The goal of Brewery Travels is to provide more information about craft beer scenes from around the country and shine a light on some of the excellent individual breweries that call these cities home.  From Portland, Maine to San Diego, California. Austin, Texas to Duluth, Minnesota. The bright lights of New York City to the farmland of rural Iowa. Brewery Travels plans to run the gauntlet of locations, providing in-depth information on as many places as possible. With episodes coming out weekly on Thursdays, Brewery Travels is where you can get your fix if you enjoy a craft beer or traveling. Cheers!
