This episode is a follow to Volume 1 Episode 15, and a lot has changed since then (while a lot has still stayed the same too!) We set up shop in the OFB taproom to record (and re-record) a show with owner Adam Cowan and to see if we can get a little glimpse into

More label approvals to kick of a Halloween weekend! As usual, I have to throw out the standard disclaimer, which is that just because the flash point label is approved, that doesn’t mean the beer is coming soon…if ever.
