David Sheets loves a challenge.

As the founder of Ironmonger Brewing, he was looking for a way to get his brewery's beers noticed.

So he made the bold decision: Blind taste his beers against one of the most heralded breweries in the country.

The Trillium Challenge was born. How did it work? He lets us know during the show.

Broadcasting from their new Barrel room, we speak to Sheets and taproom manager Cam Goershel about Ironmonger's history, its future, and the upcoming festival season.
