If you’re listening to this, you probably really love beer. But, beer isn’t always sunshine and roses. I think it’s time for those of us in the industry to acknowledge the dark side of alcohol.
Maybe we’ve fallen victim to the romance of drunken parties and creative hangovers. But in the end of it all, we have to face ourselves in the mirror after a binge. Even worse, we have to face our families, coworkers and the world.
In this edition of Beyond the Beer Stories, my two guests give us a sober look at alcohol in the beer industry.
I’m not a fan of diets, dry Januaries or anything based on pure abstinence. I prefer a life of joy and celebration balanced by good habits and healthy lifestyles. But I ask you to take an honest look at your relationship with alcohol. If you’re in the beer industry, we want and need you to be healthy so beer can be nothing less than great.
