Who, what, when, where, why and how? On this episode Joey DiApice from www.craftbeertraders.com is in studio giving us the lowdown on all things beer trading. We also have a very special Skype call from our very own Mark Vesel! As some listeners may know Mark is an avid beer trader and very active member in the community. He will give us an update on his new gig as a line cook and part time brewer at Ascension Brewing.
At the heart of it, beer trading is the love of craft beer and sharing local options outside of their original distribution areas. It can be a great way to explore this ever growing world of craft beers. We go in depth on topics such as Understanding the abbreviations, successful shipping and trading etiquette as well as give suggestions for helpful websites to help you along the way.
We also speak w/ Paul & Amanda of Ediamaps.com about The Great NC Beer Map. Their KickStarter finishes this Friday so get in on it while you still can! The folded map will be $9.99 and the poster version will be $24.99
