Today’s Guest: Em Sauter
Em Sauter is back this week to talk about the business side of Pints and Panels, her favorite beer festivals to judge and to drink at, and the best places she’s seen while traveling. Hear why Em thinks Chicago has the best beer scene in America, learn a few tips for surviving an all-day beer festival, and be the first to hear where you can meet us at a beer festival later this year. If you missed the first half of our interview with Em, be sure to go back and listen to Episode 35 too!
