Here comes a special one! This week we are joined by prolific beer journalist, author, beer sales rep, and former editor of Beer Advocate Magazine, Ben Keene.
After spending the beginning of his beer career on the East Coast writing about breweries, authoring a beer tourism book, and helping to run one of the most popular beer websites and magazines of the 2010s, Ben made his way to Washington to settle down and enjoy a quiet, simple life of beer marketing and sales at Triceratops Brewing & Reuben’s Brews.
Tune in to hear about some of the challenges of editing the most iconic craft beer magazine, what sparked the move to the Northwest, and how the Oxford Companion to Beer came to be (hint: it was Ben).
Do not miss this one!
