23. Advocating for Craft Beer and Community with Delights of Fare - Julie McMullen
While in Anoka, Brady and Ryan sit down with 10K's Social Media Manager and Craft Beer Enthusiast Julie McMullen. They start with her journey, from her roots in a non-drinking family to the creation of her Instagram account Delights-of-fare (@delightsoffare) and how she got sucked into beer.
They discuss what she loves about the local craft beer scene: dog friendly taprooms, the community, and the wonderful friends she's made along the way. Julie speaks about her husband Dillon – his role as photographer and his support for their shared passion. The discussion transitions to how she began to work for 10K and how her role has shifted over time.
One of Julie's primary endeavors in the beer community is as one of the creators of the MN Beer Community (@mnbeercommunity) where they host regular MNStameets (#mnstameet) to bring like minded individuals together to create more real and long lasting bonds. A key takeaway is the relationships the group has formed as a result of the craft beer community.
or the 100th Anniversary of Anoka claiming the title of Halloween Capital of the world, Julie wanted to brew a Triple IPA called 3 Witches. That required two "witches" to join her: Jess from @ilovebeerfromhere.mn and Betty from @bettyeatsthecity. Find out her inspiration and some details about the beer and the brewing process.
Things wind down with a discussion on how COVID-19 has affected 10K and other local breweries as well as how individual habits have changed. Brady and Ryan ask what Julie's favorite beer of the year was, which she answers with her favorite beer of all time: Barrel Aged Threat Level Midnight from Barrel Theory (@barreltheory). Listen all to the end to hear answers to our listener questions as well as Julie's list of favorite breweries in Minnesota!
