The hosts of 512 Brewed podcast

Ep 26: In their 512 Brewed podcast, Melanie Demi and Caitlin Johnson entertain and inform. Based in Austin, Texas (with its 512 area code), these media-savvy beer lovers bring a fun, well-researched approach to beer styles, beer tasting, and a bunch of other beer-adjacent topics. In this episode we step into my shoddily created hologram world, the latest virtual pub that I've called "The Great Outdoors." We talk podcasting, Austin beer, and get served by a lion. In other words, we keep it weird.
I invite you to listen to 512 Brewed, and check out the hosts' blogs: Melanie's Three Dogs One Bar and Caitlin's Big World, Small Girl.

Ep 25: When Jamal Robinson, director of sales at New England Brewing of Woodbridge, Conn., put up some simple videos in his greenhouse in June, he was doing more than letting off some steam about race relations in America. He was setting down some wisdom that I couldn't get out of my head. In this episode, Jamal talks about his career in beer, how he's dealt with racism, and what a brewery can do to affect change.
To watch Jamal's videos, check them out on his YouTube channel linked here. You can follow him on Instagram at @nebcojammy.
