  &lt;p class=""&gt;Happy Monday, Thieves! We're in Ohio this week talking with Cole Hackbarth the VP of Brewery Operations at Rhinegeist Brewery, and Nick Brehm, the Director of Innovations and Raw Materials. They had just returned from hop selection in the pacific northwest and brought some fun selections for the black glasses. We go deep on the brewery, it's best selling beer Truth, and what it means to make beer in a historic city. Tune in and let us know what you think!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=""&gt;***&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=""&gt;As always, you can email your questions, complaints, whimpers, or whines to us at stealthisbeerpodcast@gmail.com.
