We talked to Todd Blume (Co-Owner/Brewer) of Paducah Beer Werks on the last podcast (28:47 in if you’re impatient). Tune in for all the details. I happened to travel to Paducah, Kentucky for the long 4th of July weekend, and stopped in to meet Todd in person and to shoot some photos of their progress and get a lay of the land.
