LOVED the podcast on FLAT EARTH BREWING! Jeff and Cathie Williamson are awesome people and we all wish them every success in the world. I have been blessed in knowing Cathie for well over twenty five years and Jeff almost as long. Thanks again for the podcast.
Some great things are in the works with this brewery…. Definitely one to watch closely.
