- Approach to Other Half's IPA.
- Selling beer in the most expensive market in the world.

- Lighting up Williamsburg and DC and why?
- How friendships and collabs with other star breweries has shaped the beer and the Other Half brand.
- Beer as a luxury item.
- What festivals may look like in the future.

And much more!
