Episode 8 was recorded on location at 11 Below Brewing with special guests Jeff Handojo, co-owner and founder of 11 Below and Charles Vallhonrat, executive director of the Texas Craft Brewers Guild. Six years in, Jeff and the team at 11 Below have created an amazing culture of passionate fans in Houston and of course some of the best beers you can get! From original brews like their Oso Bueno Amber to the super crushable Taco Tuesday blonde with salt and lime! Charles and the team at the Texas Craft Brewers Guild have been hard at work for over a decade promoting the interests of their members in the Texas legislature that include Beer To Go and other measures. They also put on one of the best beer festivals that I've ever attended, the Texas Craft Brewers Festival! We also talk about the new Texas Brewers Passport app(available in the App Store and Google Play Store)which allows users a fun and easy way to support our state's great breweries and gives you access to some sweet swag as you reach certain passport levels.
