Barley & Me

Host Ben Rice chats with "Doctor" Bill Sysak of San Marcos's Wild Barrel Brewing about their recent distribution expansion, fatherly love, the "San Diego style" of brand building, and failed homebrew experiments. Plus! The secrets about hazy IPA that no brewer wants you to know, shared love of saisons and Berliner weisse (it might finally be a THING!), and turning fandom and friendship into career opportunities. NOT TO MENTION a very special Wild Barrel news release, the difference between kettle sour and classic mixed/spontaneous fermentation, and the hidden evils of the modern bottle share. All this and so much more, on episode 130 of Barley & Me.
