The Nicest Guy in Beer

Andy Paker from Elusive Brewing

Season 2

·

Episode 117

On the Hop Forward Podcast this week we’re joined by founder of Elusive Brewing, Andy Parker: officially ‘the nicest guy in beer’.  We talk about how he won a The Craft Beer Co’s National Home Brewer award competition to have his beer produced by Dark Star, which led to the brewery’s conception.

We also chat about their flagship West Coast IPA, Oregon Trail, as well as what advice he’d give to aspiring homebrewers in a similar position today.  And we ask some honest questions about the reckoning occurring in craft beer at the moment.
