Spring is getting closer and we&apos;re back with another episode of Good, but not the best... a Dancing Gnome Podcast! It hasn&apos;t been too long since we last recorded so we jump right into a lighter Look Back / Look Ahead, which includes a brief history of the Titty Sphinx, which is featured as the February &quot;Pittsburgh Series&quot; beer. Next, we are joined by our guest, Kevin King of Sarene Craft Beer. Long time listeners will know that Sarene is the beer distributor (wholesaler in Pittsburgh terms) that Dancing Gnome uses for their distribution. We talk with Kevin about how Sarene got their start, their focus on craft beer, their philosophy and how it is different from a lot of other wholesalers, and much more. We finish the episode with another round of Watch, Listen, Learn.Intro/Outro music by: Kabbalistic Village Break music by: Kevin MacLeod
