We sit down with our dear friend Doug Veliky, CFO at Revolution Brewing, and creator of BeerCrunchers.com and @beerafficianado to recap the crazy craft beer year 2019. In part one of our recap, we discuss the following:

- Reintroduction to Doug.

- Doug's Children's charity.

- Framing up the biggest topics of 2019.

- Regional breweries adding seltzer.

- Naturdays and the Natural Light Brand.

- Milkshake IPAs.

- Shelf stable hazies.

- ABI's moves for the year.

- Beer influencers.

And much much more!
