Host Ben Rice travels to Littleton, CO, to chat with owner/operator Jason Bell of Living the Dream Brewing about the challenges of COVID-19, plus the joys of living the dream. From his humble homebrewer beginnings to the challenges of being a commercial head brewer, to realizing his energies were better spent focused on operations, plus all the positives and pitfalls of starting your own brewery. And Ben? Well, he gets to taste everything from a flagship cream ale to a bourbon-barrel-aged barleywine, so he's doing just fine. Plus a little Kings talk, beer and food pairings, brewery dogs, fundraising/charity collaborations, and the age-old question of can v bottle. All this and more, on episode 147 of Barley & Me. Enjoy!

Ben is also posting #Chugs4Charity videos semi-daily on Instagram (@barleyandmepod), to help raise funds for those affected by this shutdown. You can Venmo Ben ($comedianbenrice) or hit his PayPal (@barleyandmepod) and all money will go to support the NAACP, ACLU, Black Lives Matter, and other civil rights helpers. Charities will change with the times and as emergencies arise. But the point is: all donations will go to help those who need it.
