The best way to listen to this episode is with a We Named the Dog Citra, a Weird Window Brewing IPA, in hand! Jack Droppa, the owner and brewer at Weird Window sat down with us and gave us some awesome insight into his journey to owing a brewery. Jack expedited his dream of owning a brewery right as the pandemic hit. Listen in to learn more about the processes of brewing and where the name came from as well (ever heard of a witch's window??). Oh, and swing by the tap room for a pint at 82 Ethan Allen Dr., South Burlington, VT or find a four pack near you!
