Listen "Ep. 151 Dave Colt and Andrew Hood of Sun King Brewing"
Episode Synopsis
"A long, long time ago I lived, briefly, in Indiana working as a newspaper reporter. Working the late shift there weren’t a lot of drinking options for a post-shift beer. Thankfully there was a brewpub not far from the office that would stay open late and on most nights I’d find Dave Colt and Clay Robinson working on recipes and plotting their own brewery. The brewery would become Sun King, and is one of the largest in Indiana with a growing footprint, multiple locations, and a commitment to quality and irreverence that is unrivaled. It’s been fun to watch the brewery grow and rack up awards, and as I was thinking about this week’s show, I noticed a can of Cherry Busey, the brewery’s Flander’s Red ale on my desk. So calling up Dave Colt and Andrew Hood, who runs the barrel program, seemed like a smart move. From talking about how the program has grown, to new avenues the brewery has explored – including a spot in Florida, it’s a wide ranging and fun romp through Central Indiana and beyond."-John HollThis Episode is Sponsored By:Harpoon BreweryDid you know that Harpoon IPA is New England’s Original IPA?Brewed in Boston and Vermont for decades by their Employee Owners.Hoppy, crisp, perfectly balanced.Harpoon IPA: New England’s Original IPA.Denver Rare Beer TastingHeading to Colorado for GABF?
