Norm!
Grit & Grain Podcast sat down with our longtime friend and Deschutes Brewery/Boneyard Beer Sales Executive Norm Cartwright to discuss his days waiting on Elton John at Stanley & Seafort’s and pitching Tacoma bars and taverns for Columbia Distribution. Episode 19 focuses on Norm’s early days learning the beer trade, his ride along adventures with brewery reps, his mentors, and his first encounters with Tacoma drinking institutions. Norm will be back next week for Episode 20 and a deeper dive into Deschutes and Boneyard.

Alright Grit and Grainers! Email us at cheers@gritandgrainpodcast.com with your comments, opinions, and your
argument that brut IPAs should make a comeback — an argument as thin as Kleenex made from the drunken hiccups of an embarrassed flea. We read and drink everything we receive, and we’ll try to respond as quickly as we can. If not online, then on air.
You can subscribe to GGP on Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play, iHeartRadio, and Stitcher, and please leave us a review. Be sure to also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for chants of “Norm!” when he enters bars and his snappy return greetings.
If this podcast is not what you expected, please alter your expectations. No one is judging you for the dangerous actions you haven’t thought of yet.
No such thing as a bad time to visit Tacoma. No such thing as too much barleywine. Tune in next Friday for more sweet chatter with the one and only Norm Cartwright! Cheers!
