On this episode of the Brewer to Brewer podcast Frezi Bouckaert, co-founder of Purpose Brewing in Fort Collins, Colorado, is interviewed by Jeff Lebesch, the co-founder of New Belgium Brewing Co. She discusses her extensive career in the beer industry, starting as a bartender in Belgium at 16, before co-founding a brewery with her husband, Peter, in 1994. They moved to the U.S. in 1996, when they began working at New Belgium Brewing.
Bouckaert has a passion for beer education holding Cicerone Level II and BJCP certifications. And for all those who care about beer service, she passionately makes the case for proper glassware for beer presentation.
