Happy When Curious
My name is Brady Ryan and I am a sea salt farmer on San Juan Island in Washington State. Ever since I was a child I have felt like my main skill was not that I was smarter or stronger or harder working or braver than anyone else, I was just a little more curious than the average cat. Since becoming a parent and trying to be a good husband and small business owner have taken so much of my energy and attention, I feel like this one superpower I have has fallen by the wayside. This podcast is my attempt to rediscover curiosity through conversation and contemplation. I will be alternating conversations with guests one episode with a short musing of my own the next. The musing episodes will allow me to try to explore ideas that I've heard or that I've come up with in an open ended way. My theory is that exploration is worth much more than answers and hopefully the interviews and the musings can live up to that principle.

Brady Ryan
Jesse Visciglia is the Head Brewer and part owner at San Juan Island Brewery in Friday Harbor Washington. Join me as we discuss all things beer and brewing like...
-How to taste a new beer
-The role curiosity plays in brewing
-How a former middle school science teacher found his way into commercial brewing
-The relationship between inebriation and the art of fermentation
-Are expensive beers better?
-The hegemony of the IPA
And more!
And I make an embarrassing confession to Jesse at the end of the interview :)
I hope you enjoy this conversation about beers as much as I did!
