During our conversation we talk about how Alpine got started, how both Pat and Shawn became brewers, what it is like for them to work together, what makes for a good IPA, about some of the beers that Alpine brews and about the transition they went through to merge with Green Flash Brewing and more! Many thanks to Steve Woolard for letting us record this episode at the Pod Bar at the Carts on Foster Food Cart Pod.
