"I met Travis Zeilstra more than a dozen years ago, at the first SAVOR event in Washington D.C. he was pouring beers for the brewery he worked for at the time and we struck up a conversation about beer and food – natural given the event – that stuck with me for quite some time.  He’s done his turns in kitchens and preparing menus and thinking about the ways flavors interact and can delight. Now, as the head brewer of By All Means Brew Lab in Billings, Montana he can think about how the beers interact with the food offerings, and how he wants the beers to present after turns with various ingredients and in wood.  Ever thoughtful and passionate, there’s a lot to dive into, so let’s do just that."-John HollThis Episode is Sponsored By:Harpoon BreweryDid you know that Harpoon IPA is New England’s Original IPA?Brewed in Boston and Vermont for decades by their Employee Owners.Hoppy, crisp, perfectly balanced.Harpoon IPA: New England’s Original IPA.Denver Rare Beer TastingHeading to Colorado for GABF?
