Today we are so hoppy to be interviewing Holly, owner of Epidemic Ales! Holly tells us how she got started, and how they made it through the pandemic shutdown. We also get to hear about some amazing collaboration beers Epidemic will be releasing for SF Beer Week. Epidemic Ales is a majority woman owned brewery, and Holly is an amazing example of incorporating art and creativity, and the concept of "community" not "industry" that has really made Craft Beer an important part of so many communities.

You will notice release day is on the kickoff of SF Beer Week, so if you're listening today you're in time to grab each one of these collabs on the day they release (and to grab some Birria Tacos or a Birria Ramen from OG Tacos!). You can pick up each of these beers at the brewery on their release day (below), or if you're in California you can go to www.epidemicales.com, click on the Online Store button, and order these beers shipped right to your doorstep! All collaboration beers will be available on tap and in 16oz foursies to go.

If you have a chance please check out everyone we talk abhout and show them some love, and always say Yes! to the Hoppy Ending.
