What’s a Brewin Podcast is a podcast where we interview brewery owners about their location. We will go into different topics to learn about their location, beer, and history. Each show will feature 2 breweries and will post 1-2 episodes a week.
Welcome to installment #15 of the What's a Brewin' Podcast.
In today's episode we visited Desert Diamond Distillery in Kingman, AZ and sampled some phenomenal Desert Spirits on a historic passenger train car. We then stop in for a drink at Ivanhoe Park Brewing in Orlando, FL where, speaking of trains, they have a rail line that runs right past the brewery.
Trains are not the only thing these two locations have in common, the hospitality of Deborah and John at Desert Diamond and that of Glenn at Ivanhoe Park were second to none.
So, pour a glass of your favorite craft and enjoy this episode of What's a Brewin'.
