Learn how Soundgrowler’s beers draw inspiration from a variety of art forms, resulting in a blend of rare styles, death metal, and yoga.
Head Brewer Jacob Hutcheson and Brewing Operations Manager John Halek showcase Soundgrowler’s vibrant and eclectic brewery, where beer, doom, and tacos come alive in Tinley Park, Illinois. Jacob begins by sharing his passion for the Grodzinski, a rare Polish-style beer that won Soundgrowler a medal at the World Beer Cup — in addition to an even more coveted prize from Weyermann Malting Company out of Bamberg, Germany. He also explains the story behind the beer’s name, “Good Familiars,” and the wide range of art forms from which he draws inspiration for his beers.
Jacob and John then discuss some of the brewery’s more unique features, such as its artwork and events like metal yoga. They also discuss death metal subculture, the variety of music they listen to, and how they inspire new beers. Plus: their mission to create an inclusive atmosphere, the challenges of crafting beers that satisfy both brewer and consumer, and what it was like to craft a beer in someone’s memory.
