The episode will be available for viewing on the Lassen Ale Works’ Facebook page. The Boardroom location of the brewery will be highlighted on the show.

“We hope you enjoy it just as much as we do,” a representative for Lassen Ale Works said online. “Without our amazing customers and staff, this wouldn’t be possible!”
