Time for school! This week we invited our good friend and long-time beer industry professional Lyra Penoyer to sit down for a few beers and a few great stories. Lyra is one of those seasoned behind-the-scenes industry folks that has influenced much more than most would know. From starting her journey at a small local craft brewery, to helping to open the now world famous Flatstick Pub, to becoming one of the first women in Washington to pass the Certified Cicerone exam, to owning her own small but impactful beer and wine business, and now to becoming the first person in Washington to qualify as a WSET Beer instructor, and believe it or not, much, much more.
Lyra has done quite a lot and has met some pretty awesome people along the way and we get to hear all about it. If you’re the type that likes to know how the sausage is made in the beer world and really get to know the folks that make it, this one’s for you. Crack a beer, sharpen your pencils, and tune in!
