Episode 26: George Hancock

December 30, 2022

When you begin to homebrew the day homebrewing was officially legalized in the United States (Oct. 14, 1979), live on a sailboat while hand building a brewery in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood, then open Maritime Pacific Brewing in 1990 making it the longest running brewery in Ballard, and create what is considered THE winter seasonal in Seattle in 1992, you received the full attention, respect, and love from the Grit & Grain Podcast hosts. Our friend George Hancock joined us for Episode 26 to drink his vintage Jolly Roger Christmas Ale, discuss his honor as being a Washington state beer pioneer with his wife and former North Tacoma resident, Jane, and go toe-to-toe with our inappropriate humor.
