    Stone Brewing Special Edition Podcast: Besties and Beer + Meet the Brewer

    Our Besties and Beer / Meet the Brewer event last night (August 16) was totally toast worthy (which we did plenty of! ) we had the best time recording a special edition of the #prettyinpasadenapodcast with our friends Mike and Jose (one of the masterminds behind their delicious 22nd anniversary beer) from Stone Brewing at the Stone Company Store - Pasadena location! It was such a treat to chat all things beer, learn about the 22 year history of Stone and how to pair beers with food, sample some incredible beers (we learned from the Pro’s exactly how to taste beer, and we are passing that knowledge on to you in the podcast) and so much more! We are SO grateful that so many of our friends (old and new ones we just met last night) and neighbors in the community came out to support, meet the brewer, and enjoy some awesome beer with friends! Thank you for helping make this event a great success! . . .
