My friend Katie Carrier is so badass. She is the Associate Director of the IL Craft Brewers Guild, and the Queen of the Festival of Barrel Aged Beers in Chicago. She is such a key player in Illinois craft beer, but also, a wife, a mom, and a real real good human.

FOBAB tickets are still available for Nov 22nd and 23rd at the Credit1Union Arena.

My friend Char Dawg sits down with me for a little chat about her journey and path through life and the Chicago Craft Beer scene in which she plays a massive role. Being a part of major Chicagoland Breweries like Mikerphone and Solemn Oath, and helping put on massive events in the community like Smells like a Beer Fest and FOBAB, the festival of Barrel Aged Beers.
