This show, our first release, spotlights Anderson Valley Brewing Company, a solar-powered venture with a strong community of support. Some highlights are an interview with Josh “J.D.” Snyder, a look at the legendary Boonville Beer Festival, and a brief tour of the facility. We did this one on a low budget with one camera to test our format for field reporting.
