TTP Episode 26 – Enlightened Brewing Company

The Tap Takeover Podcast pays another visit to Bayview to grab a pint at Enlightened Brewing Company. The TTP Crew sits down with Founder/Co-Owner Tommy Vandervort and Co-Owner James Larson to discuss the brewery’s origins, plans to handle expansion, moving to their new location, and why they love Bayview so much. Jim gets schooled by a Philosophy Major while we learn how Enlightened comes up with the unique names for their beers. We touch on #HateHasNoHomeHere from this past summer, and what would the Tap Takeover Podcast be without a live tasting? Including an Amber that definitely doesn’t suck, and a special-release edition of Beer News! Cheers!
