The Pacific Northwest has been a hot spot for the craft beer movement longer than almost anywhere else in the US. But what were the events that led to this region being the craft beer hot spot that it is today? In this episode David talks with Clint Tremper, long time resident of Washington state, about how beer, brewing, and hops farming all became staples in the PNW long before craft beer was a thing. They also spend time discussing beer culture in the Seattle area and how it differs from David's world down in the southeast US.
