EP-084: WeldWerks Brewing
This podcast has been a long time coming. We recorded it a few weeks ago, and thanks to some connection choppiness, Zoom gave us 20 audio files to piece through in order to get you all an episode. It took way too may beers and way too long to edit, so we hope it actually sounds like a coherent stream of content...fingers crossed. #WeldWerksBrewing  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/focusonthebeer/support
