S3E138: Rain Day
Manage episode 463980846 series 3560814
Rob Fullmer, the director of government affairs for the Arizona Craft Brewers Guild, and Andrew Bauman, the executive director, discuss recent news and events in the Arizona craft brewing industry.
They begin by discussing the recent end to a 158-day drought in Phoenix, noting the importance of rain and snow for the state's agriculture and breweries.
The conversation then turns to the Arizona legislature, which has recently begun its session. Rob mentions a bill that would allow golfers to bring their own beer to golf courses, which he finds interesting because it is outside of the areas that the legislators normally focus on.
They then discuss the upcoming Arizona Strong Beer Fest, which will feature over 70 breweries from Arizona. They talk about the challenges of coordinating a program across so many breweries and the changes in social media algorithms that have made it more difficult to reach people.
Andrew mentions that he recently attended a board meeting where the main topic of conversation was promoting the Arizona Strong Beer Fest. He says that there were some good ideas discussed and that he hopes to see more social media posts about the event.
Rob talks about his recent visit to the Capitol, where he had to sit in on a committee meeting about amending the advertisement of THC products. He says that the unintended consequences of the bill could be overly broad and that he is concerned about how it could affect the alcohol industry.
They end the podcast by talking about Bob Uecker.
