    Building More Than a Brewery: The Story of Hennessy Creek

    This episode to close out the year took place back in September as we went live on Instagram and YouTube and cracked open something special with the team behind Hennessy Creek, the first Black-owned farm brewery in Maryland. We chat with Drs. Tracy & Vaughn Wallace and head brewer Leon Harris to talk legacy, land, and the leap of faith it takes to turn a dream into a brewery rooted in community. From the grind of building a farm brewery, to honoring family history, to creating a space where culture, craft beer, and connection can coexist. We get real about the wins, the setbacks, and the purpose behind the pour. If you love stories about passion, ownership, and changing the landscape of craft beer, this episode is one you don’t want to miss. Grab a glass and tap in.

    BBP 308 - Dewey & Friends with Harrison Albert

    On this episode the Legendary Brew Crew links up with the homie Harrison Albert, Creative Director of Dewey Beer Co. (USA Today’s #1 Brewpub in America), for a full-pour conversation that’s equal parts beer geekery, art school chaos, and straight-up hilarity. Harrison takes us inside the world of Dewey and gives insight on how he went from art school to becoming apart of the creative brain trust behind Dewey’s iconic labels, merch, and events. We also talk beer programs, the beer that first hooked him into craft, and even get a sneak peek at the upcoming Dewey & Friends Beer Festival, taking place in Dewey Beach, DE on January 31, 2026. And of course, in true Brewsing Banter fashion, things go off the rails: birthday antics, dogs crashing the interview, debates about sweet potatoes vs. grapes (??), and whether Rob is legally allowed to get tattooed during a beer fest. It’s craft beer, culture, comedy, and community, all in one pour. Crack a can, pull up a chair, and enjoy the banter.
