In this Season 2 premiere episode of Beer Breakdown, Gary chats with Julian Shrago, co-founder and Brewmaster of Beachwood Brewing to break down ten years of Beachwood and their special anniversary releases, Hoptical Telescope and Barrelogensis.

They dive into everything from Julian's homebrewing background, the art and science of brewing, building a team, and breaking out of your comfort zone before cracking open the big West Coast-style Double IPA and the decadent Bourbon-Barrel-Aged Barleywine and what makes their approach to hops and barrels so damn unique.

Pick up these beers and all of Beachwood's awesome lineup at their Long Beach, Huntington Beach, and Garden Grove locations, order for shipping in CA, or find them at a local beer retailer near you.
