Kevin Smith - Bale Breaker Brewing Company

This month on the Brews Less Traveled Beer Club Podcast, host Brian Hatheway and co-host Thom explore the craft beer scene of Yakima, Washington.

We kick off our time in Yakima with featured beers from Bale Breaker Brewing Company. Brian and Thom try Bale Breaker Brewing Company’s Field 41 Pale Ale, as well as their Bottomcutter Imperial IPA. They are joined by the brewery’s Co-Owner and Brewmaster, Kevin Smith!

In this episode, Kevin shares the story of his family, who have owned and worked the brewery’s hop farm dating back to 1932. The trio discusses the aging process of hoppy IPAs in cans. Kevin explains the challenges he faces opening up a new taproom in Seattle. Finally, the group chats about Kevin’s new cannabis company, Sun Gaze Cannabis, which focuses on cannabis-infused seltzers.
