HT013 - Over Seas Shenanigans - Matteo in Milan

This episode is a very exciting journey down the Hoppy Trail. 

 

First: We have a very special guest, Matteo from Milan Italy. Matteo talks to us about the growth of the Craft Beer movement in Italy, as well as current trends and developments. We talk about comparisons with craft beer in other regions, including the United States which Nick and I are most familiar with. Great information, and we learn about a very "exotic" food that is apparently quite normal in Italy and other parts of the world.

 

Second: We have launched our YouTube channel! For now, it's just audio versions of the show with our logo as the visual, so feel free to share our past and current episodes with friends and family who may be more inclined to access it on YouTube instead of a podcatcher. Soon we'll be releasing specialized video content made for YouTube, like short interviews, longer cook videos with more instruction than our food reels, and other show related content. Each new episode will automatically release to the channel as well. Check it out!

 

Finally: We will release our very first VIDEO version of the podcast on Patreon! (as soon as I can get the edited video to export!) To see our beautiful faces, including Matteo's beautiful face, become a patron for as low as $3 a month. We currently don't have any plans for releasing the video version of the show to YouTube in the near future, so the only way to look into our studios for full episodes will be to become a patron.

 

We put a lot of work into this show, and currently fund it out of our own pockets. Help support the show so we can keep providing you the content you love, and we'll keep looking for creative ways to give back to those that support us!

 

We have another special Trail Report from listener Billy Joseph Jr., this time out on the road talking to the owner of 12 Bones Brewing in Arden North Carolina. Check them out on Instagram: https://instagram.com/12bonesbrewing
