Sprouts
Sprouts Radio from the Grassroots is a 30-minute weekly program featuring radio programs produced at community radio stations or by other independent producers from across the country and sometimes around the world.
Craft beer is an exploding phenomenon, both in the U.S. and worldwide, with local, independently-owned breweries popping up all over the country.
We hear from Charlottesville, Virginia’s Champion Brewery boys Hunter Smith and Levi Duncan, as they explain why they chose to brew beer, and offer their view on the craft beer craze.
Later, we hear from Ames, Iowa’s Alluvial Brewing Company boys Matt Nissen and Elliott Thompson, as they detail their beer brewing process and explain what exactly a hop is and how it’s used.
