Listening to a Podcast has made it easy to learn free information about what interests you with just a tap of an app on your smartphone.
From crime and cooking (not related, but there are usually knives involved in each), to science and beer, you can fill your noggin with knowledge all while working out at the gym, walking the dog, or on your commute to and from work.
Since we're focused on the beer over here, and we think you are too, we thought we'd pass along some beer podcast recommendations from the pros!
Whether you want to dive deeper into beer styles, improve your homebrew skillz, or find which beer will pair best with the steak dinner you have prepared, we've got a great list for you.
Keep in mind, these podcasts are not just a few dudes chattin' it up about their lives while getting more drunk with every sip of brew, but an overall list of professionals in the industry of craft beer, who take the time to research and conduct meaningful interviews for those really looking to expand their knowledge of the craft.
