Land-Grant University - Beers with the Brewers Land-Grant Brewing

Happy Thanksgiving BWTB listeners! On a special "TBT" episode we go back in time to our 6th Anniversary celebration where we recorded two LIVE panel discussions for our Beers with the Brewers Podcast. These discussions were broadcast live via Instagram on Saturday, October 17. The Land-Grant brewers took the stage at 6pm to get super technical on how these delicious suds are crafted. Head brewer, Dan Shaffer, along with Justin and Chris, part of our amazing brew team taste through the six pack brewed up special for our sixth birthday and answer questions in front of a live audience. Cheers!

This week Dan, Chris, Walt and Mark prepare for a Thanksgiving feast and join remotely with Mr. Balloonhands. This time Mr. Balloonhands returns as a surreally sessionable wheat ale, brewed with deliciously tart Cranberries and Cherries. And, as always, perfect for drinking out of cups!
