#23: Adam Goodwin | Charles Towne Fermentory

November 10, 2019 • Graining In • Season 1 • Episode 23

Noah - while regretfully Mattless again - is in the beautiful city of Charleston, SC, talking with Adam Goodwin. The conversation picks up right as Adam's brewery, Charles Towne Fermentory, wraps up its third annual There Will Be Hops beer festival. After discussing the value of fests through brewer eyes (and the impetus to host one), the guys talk about Adam breaking into the brewing industry as an early employee Tired Hands, later becoming head brewer at Trillium, and his experience opening a brewery in a city he knew very little about. This one's a little shorter (plane to catch) and noisier (recorded in working brewery) than usual, but Adam effortlessly provides a ton of valuable perspective, and will make Yankees proud with a perfectly executed Three Bay that involves some famous Charlestonians.
