If we don’t make drinkable beers, we’re failing the consumer.” [35:00] “The more beers out there, good beers- the more converts we will get.” [42:00] — Mazen Hajjar on Beer Sessions Radio See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
