Episode 47 of the PorchCast had Tristan, Hunter and Sam recording from the Big Beers Belgians & Barleywines Festival at the Beaver Run Resort in Breckenridge, CO. In town for the special occasion was Matt Brynildson, brewmaster for Firestone Walker and Neil Fisher, co-founder and brewmaster for WeldWerks Brewing in Greeley, CO.

We spoke with Neil about the ups and downs of a big 2017, as well as what’s in store for 2018. He discussed plans to brew over 100 different beers in the new year, as well as initial plans for the WeldWerks Invitational. And with Matt, we talked about how he got into brewing, from the early days in Kalamazoo, to his time with Goose Island and finally teaming up with David Walker and Adam Firestone. Brynildson discussed what is like to brew on the Burton Union system as well as some fun innovative projects that they’re currently working on.
