In Episode 280, I'll chat with David Nilsen—award-winning author, Certified Cicerone®, educator, and one of the sharpest voices in beer media. We'll dig deep into:
  • The inspiration behind Final Gravity, David’s human-centered beer zine
  • Why beer and chocolate make such powerful (and surprising) pairing partners
  • The origins of David’s passion for craft beer
  • The growing world of craft chocolate
  • How breweries are navigating today’s shifting beer industry
  • Dayton’s underrated and walkable beer scene
  • Holiday pairing tips that anyone can try at home
I'll also share Thanksgiving beer pairing tips, cover the week’s big beer news, and close the show with a live beer-and-chocolate pairing using a Belgian Triple from Bruz Beers and chocolate from Chicago’s own Vosges.
