    Ivy Insights

    The Beer Temple Insiders Roundtable podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in the Chicago beer scene and the beer industry as a whole. The discussions are engaging, and the diverse range of guests provides unique insights into various topics. The Beer Temple store in Chicago is also highly recommended for its impressive selection of quality brewers and its awesome cooler setup.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the depth and diversity of discussions. The panelists cover a wide range of topics, from trends in the beer industry to issues specific to Chicago. The guests are knowledgeable and offer valuable insights, making each episode informative and thought-provoking. Whether you're a beer novice or an industry insider, there's something to learn from this podcast.

    However, one potential drawback is that the podcast can be quite Chicago-centric at times. While this is understandable given its origins, it may be less relevant to listeners outside of the city. Some inside jokes and references may also leave new listeners feeling lost initially, but sticking with it will eventually lead to becoming an insider oneself.

    In conclusion, The Beer Temple Insiders Roundtable is a fantastic podcast that covers important topics in the beer industry with knowledgeable guests and engaging discussions. While it may have a Chicago focus, it still offers valuable insights for beer enthusiasts across the country. It's definitely worth tuning in to expand your understanding of craft beer and stay informed about industry trends.
