About
In Beyond IPAs, we examine the amazing craft brew scene throughout New England. Our aim is to showcase the wonderful breweries that are constantly producing some amazing beer. We hope to help build the craft beer community by sharing what we know about brewing and educating local craft beer fans about what they are drinking. The show is co-hosted Dan Lattuada, an experienced and award winning brewer from Coppertree Brewing, Scott Lussier, a University Professor with a Craft Beer course in Boston and Brian Wonson, a leader in the New England craft beer social scene. Along the way, we'll be joined by special guests of all types. Cheers!
