“Bottle episode” is a television production term for a low-lift sitcom episode that takes place all on one set with as few cast members as possible and a self-contained plot. Today, we’re doing a “Taplines” version of that.
As we put our normal podcast format on the shelf for the day, we’re joined by journalists Kate Bernot of Sightlines and Jess Infante of Brewbound to talk about two turning points in the national suds saga. Some of you may know the three of us as the Beer Byliners, the name of a Twitter Space that we hosted in the early days of the pandemic. Well, we’re getting the gang back together today, and you’re coming with us. It’s a chat about the unveiling of the Brewers Association’s Ozymandian “20% by 2020” mantra, the dark side of Cleveland’s infamous, Stroh’s-fueled 10-Cent Beer Night catastrophe, and much, much more.
