Last weekend, we packed up the cars and made the trek over to Spokane for the amazing Grainmaker Fest — the annual celebration of specialty malt with more than 50 participating breweries and 25 special collaboration beers on tap.
We were lucky to be joined by our best buddies Brian Estes from LINC Malt and Leslie Shore from Cold Stream Malt & Grain for a tag team episode where we talked about everything from festival planning, collab curation, and of course the last-minute adaptations to the wildfires that broke out in the beginning of the week.
Tune for all the details on the festival, some beer highlights, and to hear how the beer industry came together to help the community in Spokane as much as possible during a very difficult time. Drink good beer and, if you can, drink it for a good cause.
