Show Notes
How crazy would it be grow your own grain for craft brewing AT SCALE? We talk with Matt and Darin Riggs of Riggs Beer Company about their decision to open a brewery on their family's farm. From convincing their parents to change crops to working with the agriculture department at the University of Illinois for developing grains, part one covers all the crazy.
