    S4E191: Inside Arizona Brewing: On the Road with Jason Helart and Danny Gutierrez

    Step back into the studio with Rob Fullmer and Andrew Bauman as they test out some shiny new video equipment and dive into the evolving landscape of the homebrewing community. In this jam-packed episode, Andrew hits the road for an exclusive inside look at two major Arizona craft breweries in Mojave County. First, he tours the massive new 10,000-square-foot expansion at College Street Brewing Company in Lake Havasu City with Jason Helart, exploring their fully automated 60-barrel system, custom water-canning operations, and state-of-the-art vacuum distillation setup. Then, the journey continues to Kingman, where Rickety Cricket's Brewer and GM, Danny Gutierrez, takes us behind the scenes of their production facility to talk glycol controllers, the "heartbreak" of canning lines, and their highly successful Camelot Renaissance Faire event. Back in the studio, the guys share a bottle of Bayview Saison and brainstorm alternative fermentation trends, from Honeycrisp apple ciders to small-batch tree-to-pot experiments.
