This was an episode we did with our homies the Foamy Heads - Rich and Mitch - who are another podcast duo out of Nashville, TN. We recorded this on the patio at Fail La Force Brewing in Nashville.

We came together for this episode over the fact that we wanted to discuss the state of craft breweries and craft beer, after we've seen several local breweries close recently.

We had a great discussion about what are some of the things that are attributing to brewery closings - is it the beer itself?, is it a lease issue?, was there an event at a brewery that the community didn't like?, is it that people are drinking less beer and even less alcohol overall? We didn't necessarily solve the issue but it's a subject we are all passionate about and wanted to discuss.

We were also fortunate enough to have Parker Loudermilk, who is the owner of Fait La Force, join us for this episode to further discuss this topic, as well discussing his brewery and beer. Parker treated us to a couple of their beers, one of which was brand new and another that was almost gone. We went in depth with Parker about the beers they like to brew, some of the history of Fait La Force, how and when they got started, how they have evolved and changed in the past few years and so much more.

We want to thank Parker for the use of his patio, for the beers and the time he spent with us. We also want to thank the Foamy Heads for their willingness to want to join us, for the use of their equipment, the shared pours, and for sharing this file with us. Rich and Mitch are the coolest guys and we will definitely be collaborating with them again in the near future.

Cheers!

Steve & Scott
