Episode 78 | Hello My Name Is: Jessbeerme

This week our guest is Connecticut’s most "influential" beer "influencer" @jessbeerme !!

In her first ever podcast appearance 

Jess reveals how she built a fan base of over 22k followers on Instagram, staying true to herself.  She takes us on a flight to her home country of Ecuador, talks about the culture, shows us how to toast and the growth of the brewery scene. Next, Jess takes us to Denver and talks about her outrageous adventure with other Instagrammers at The Great American Beer Festival.

 

Who is Wallace?

 

As an craft beer advocate, Jess fills us in about the collaboration between Sacred Heart University (@brewatshu) and New England Brewing Company (@newenglandbrewing) (@nebcojammy). They've established a scholarship for Black students as a means to diversify the brewing industry. And, to ensure the scholarship support continues, the Connecticut Brewers Guild (@ctbrewersguild) has initiated an endowed fund with SHU—the Connecticut Brewers Guild African American Brewing Scholarship.

We taste some solid beers from Malpractice Brewing Co (@malpracticebrewingco) including beers made with Pop Rocks, prickly pears and Peanut Butter fluff!

 

We also try “Queen of All Trades”.  A collaboration between Dockside Brewery (@docksidebrewery) and the Pink Boot Society Connecticut Chapter (@pinkbootsct) (@pinkbootssociety)

One Dollar from every pint sold will go to the CT chapter of the Pink Boots Society.

 

And always we talk music! We hear about some of Jess’ favorite artists and the time she made eye contact with Usher!

 

Before we close, Jess experiences her first Cannonball in the Beer Man Beer studio.

A great time and a fun episode with @jessbeerme < Follow
