John I. Haas Presents The HAAS HopCast Podcast

A new podcast has hit the “airwaves” as John I. Haas has unveiled the first few episodes of The HAAS HopCast on SoundCloud. Led by Micah Cawley in Yakima, Washington, this new podcast will discuss the current activities in the craft beer industry, with a special focus on hops.
