Episode 172 of the Taproom Podcast features Dustin Baker, co‑founder and head brewer of Roadmap Brewing in San Antonio. Host Mike and Dustin cover his path from middle‑school teacher to brewery owner, the story behind the Roadmap name, and how the taproom and brew house were built and developed since opening in 2018.The conversation dives into Roadmap’s brewing philosophy—quality over quantity—favorites like lagers and West Coast IPAs, their award‑winning pilsner “All Right All Right,” tank names, community events, local collaborations, and the challenges of running a small, community‑driven brewery in the evolving San Antonio beer scene.
