John Walker, co-founder and head brewer for Athletic Brewing, joins us at the 1-minute mark.
- What is Athletic Brewing?
- Did you know Bill Shufelt, founder, before or how did you all meet?
- Was the R&D phase a lot of home brewing?
- How difficult was it for folks to grasp the non-alcoholic craft brewery?
- Do you all make beer like other craft breweries or do you de-alcoholize the beer?
- What are the unique challenges in brewing N.A. beer that “normal” craft brewers don’t face?
- Why did you take the leap from a great brewpub in Santa Fe (where he was highly awarded) to take on the intellectual challenge of solving non-alcoholic beer.
- What drew you to get into brewing?
- Are people shocked the first time they have a real N.A. craft beer?
- How did the Aftershift IPA collaboration come together?
- How do you approach creating recognizable beer flavors and styles?
- You all must be doing something right with the success, right?
- Can folks expect any style of beer from you all?
- “Two for the Trails” is your conservation-focused initiative, what is that?
- What’s next for Athletic?
We talk about our Drinking Buddies club and our new monthly giveaways at the 27-minute mark.
