Two years ago today The Beer Nomad conducted its first interview.

To celebrate, we bring back the conversation that started it all, in the oldest barn in Iowa.

The front of my van says now as it did then that “every beer has a story to tell”

This was true and still is now.

Cheers!

(The Beer Nomad will be back to regularly scheduled episodes Thursday, May 9th)

We also answer listener questions (in a Cracker Barrel parking lot in Delaware).

I’m going to grab a drink, if you’re in a position to as well grab a cold one and let’s hang out!

What is it REALLY like living full-time in a beer van? How do you deal with loneliness on the road? Is it possible to balance a love for beer and basic productivity?

In the new series "Van Life Diaries", I get personal. No edits. Just me, my dog and a microphone.

Each month I’ll discuss my experiences on the road, behind the scenes stories and hopes for future episodes and adventures. I’ll also answer listener questions over a beer.

Sit back relax, and let’s talk.
