In Episode 290 we go live again on Facebook, and in this episode we are talking with one of our long time listeners Eric Gronli about the Minnesota craft beer scene. We go into depth on Surly Brewing and learn how this infamous brewery and the Surly Nation helped change the strict beer laws back in 2012. Eric was also kind enough to send us some beer to taste on the show.  Now grab a beer and enjoy the show!  If you would like to contact the show you can reach the hosts through email at tapthecraft@gmail.com, or interact with us on Facebook at facebook.com/tapthecraft and for all our links visit tapthecraft.com/linktree.
