Show Notes
Jenny Pfafflin is the marketing and creative manager at Dovetail Brewery in Chicago. She’s also one of the four brewers on staff. That means she gets to spend her days talking about, thinking about, making, and drinking some of the most traditional and flavorful beers made in the U.S. today.
Dovetail is no stranger to this show. Episode Five featured Hagen Dost and Bill Wesselink the co-founders of the brewery, and gave birth to This Week in Rauchbier.
If you follow Dovetail on social media it is Pfafflin and her passion for brining forth a realistic drinking experience in a digital format.
Before Dovetail, she was an exam manager at the Cicerone Certification program, and is even an Advanced Cicerone herself.
