Hey. Somehow we missed uploading this episode even though it went to YouTube OK. Guess what. You get two episodes this week! What happens when state brewers guild directors swap taprooms for international tarmac? From tackling unexpected audio gremlins to unpacking the real reasons behind collaborative beer tourism, this episode takes you inside the planning of an epic cross-country trek to Germany, the legendary tents of Oktoberfest, and beyond. Along the way, explore why structured tours are becoming vital new lifelines for guilds, what it takes to navigate foreign beer cultures off the beaten path, and why a simple pair of wired headphones might just save your sanity.
