#60: Frank Zagami | Deciduous Brewing Co.

This week we're in Matty's Motherland of New Hampshire, talking with Frank Zagami of Deciduous Brewing. Frank and his wife Maryann opened their brewery five years ago as the first in Newmarket, a traditionally quaint New England town in the greater Portsmouth area, with the intention to help push New Hampshire past it's reputation as a simple beer throughway between Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts. We dive into exactly why the state's beer scene was in many ways slower than its neighbors to develop, how laws have held breweries back, and how they hell someone can be pulled over in an airplane. 
As Frank oversees brewing operations at Deciduous (in addition to a litany of other roles), we also spend some time in technical town and get into the process behind some of the brewery's cocktail-inspired sour ales and (lightly) fruited lagers, both of which left a huge positive impression on Matty and - shockingly - on the cold, jaded shell of Noah.
Frank is one of the hardest workers in the business, shares some very interesting perspective on a state that has always left the guys a bit bemused, and even is gracious enough to allow Matt to be Pippen to his Jordan in a New Hampshire-centric Three Bay ...............................................................
