The Hops and Grain Supply Chain

We bring on special guest Ryan Leer to hear about how his passions for homebrewing and videography mashed together into a career at Brewers Supply Group (BSG), a subsidiary of Rahr Malting.  We’ll hear about the craft beer boom from the eyes of the raw material supplier,  take a ride through the Yakima hop farms, and throw in some amateur wrestling stories while we’re at it!
