Little did Craig know that this seemingly silly endeavor would spark his passion for beer and lead him on an unexpected journey.

Initially, they never anticipated it would become anything more than a fun side project to complement their other endeavors. However, their podcast gradually gained traction and became a meaningful part of their lives.
