205. 12 Days of Barrel Picks | Maplewood

Day 3 | 12 Days of Barrel Picks. We catch-up with our old friend Bob Zacharias. Bob is the GM of the taproom at the brewery/distillery located in Chicago. Bob shares the growth of Maplewood’s spirits program, and the difference between hospitality when operating a bar versus a taproom and creating a community atmosphere. Midway through the conversation, Adam Smith, Special Projects Manager, joins us and discusses the evolution of their malt program that’s mainly based on distilling off-grain.
