BAOS Podcast w/ Cee

CRAFT BEER PODCAST INFO:
Even in the age of zoom, snow storms can be something to mess with, but while Dan in Arizona didn’t have to deal with it, Ken and him set up shop and chat with Cee from the BAOS Podcast based out of Canada. We discuss laws and regulations between the countries, how Cee got to Canada to start his hip hop career, and we discuss the similarities and differences between craft beer podcasts and why each one has its own niche and fanbase. From buyouts to barrel aged beers we run through the gambit of topics and look toward what each shows future may hold. No news this week but we will be back next week for our final episode with one of our partners, Porch Drinking!
