The Better on Draft team checks in with long-time friend of the show Kevin DeGrood. You may know him from North Central Brewing or from his presence within the Michigan craft beer scene or maybe you are meeting him for the firt time (like Rob). We'll hear about the hardships of running a brewery, even a successful one, and what Kevin sees in the industry and market.

This is Ken's penultimate episode and he will be missed greatly. Better on Draft will continue in 2025 with live recordings every second and fourth Friday of the month at 8:30pm ET on Twitch, Kick, and Facebook.
