episode 307: Going Solo with Jamison Kester of Labored Breath
Jamison Kester of Labored Breath & I have a conversation about how he coped with 2020, his 1st brews, the soundtrack of his youth, his 1st shows, working in the beer industry, being a part of Brewtal North America, "Dyspnea", a new beer Collab & his hangover cure.
Throughout our chat, Jamison drank Penn Brewery 's "Kaiser Pils" & Dancing Gnome Beer 's "Hazy Pale Ale" while I enjoyed The Agonist x Microbrasserie Le Fermentor 's "Brew as my Guide" which was brewed as a part of Brewtal North America. This 7% DDH IPA poured out with a slightly hazy veil, smashed juicy pineapple on the nose & slapped a resinous crushable finish.
