This week on the Grit & Grain Podcast, we sat down with Larry Rock to discuss funk music, Alabama White Barbecue Sauce, birthing classes, and family. Oh, we did discuss beer too. Rock has been in the Western Washington beer scene for 35 years, from working at a Pike Place Market homebrew shop to brewing the first beer at Pike Brewing, from Noggins BrewPub at Westlake Mall to founding brewer at Maritime Pacific Brewing, from 11-and-a-half-years at Hale’s Ales to Click and NW beverages distributors to his current position as sales executive at Reuben’s Brews. Tune-in to Grit & Grain Podcast Episode 67 to hear Rock discuss how he brewed the first beers at Pike but wasn’t the opening day brewer, how he helped launch breweries such as Chuckanut, pFriem, and Breakside, his thoughts on the state of diversity in the local beer scene, and the 12.4-percent Dopplerock brewed in his honor.
