Ep. 40 - Averie Swanson of Keeping Together
If you are a fan of this show, you are likely a fan of beer in general, and you have likely already heard of Averie Swanson.
She's had one of the more storied careers in beer thus far. Going from a volunteer at
Jester King in Austin to its head brewer in just four years but new challenges awaited her, and so she moved north to Chicago last year where she started
Keeping Together, a brewery that is focusing on mixed culture, rustic, Belgian-inspired beers.
We cover a lot of ground in this interview, recorded just before the 4th of July holiday weekend. She spoke to me from Chicago about brewing philosophy, ingredients, and the changing nature of beer.
