S2E97: The Path Ahead - the Saffords Part 2

Arizona Beer Frontier

We had Google's Gemini create the show notes for this show. Chat.GPT just started making things up and ignoring entire sections of our podcast transcript. More and more the AI also makes some terrible captions. At any rate, here's Gemini. Remember the days of lining up for the latest, rarest craft beer? This podcast dives into how the craft beer industry in Arizona has matured over the last decade. Listen in as we continue our discussion with Scott and Rebecca Safford of Tap and Bottle as we discuss the shift from chasing novelty to prioritizing quality and building a loyal customer base. We also tackle the challenges of a crowded market, from managing multiple locations to navigating tricky leases.

The conversation also explores the latest trends like the rise of non-alcoholic beers and THC. And get this: is Arizona Beer Week due for a makeover? The podcast debates potential changes and ponders how to collaborate with tourism to elevate the experience.

So, whether you're a craft beer aficionado or just curious about the industry's evolution, this podcast is sure to quench your thirst for knowledge (and maybe even some inspiration to visit your local brewery!). If you missed part one you can pick it up as the podcast right before this one.

NEW DATE: The return of Baja Beer Fest is right around the corner on Saturday, May 4th! http://bajabeerfest.com/
