The brewery explorers began after the hosts of the show met Madtree Brewing head brewer Ryan Blevins in line for a beer. Noah Jones jumped at the chance to interview him on a podcast. Weeks later, the Brewery Explorers Podcast was formed — interviewing craft brewers, owners, and cicerones about their love of craft beer.
