BRAHM TO GO | Kinney Baughman

Presenting BRAHM TO GO, the podcast that brings art and history to you through artist interviews, oral histories, and scholarly lectures.

Welcome to BRAHM To Go. Your Go-To Source for arts and history. Today we have an interview with Kinney Baughman. Kinney is better known around Boone as Bubbleman, a fixture at the High Country Beerfest who brings the joy of bubbles to attendees. Before he was bubbleman, Kinney was a national champion homebrewer, homebrewing entrepreneur, and head-brewer at Watauga County’s first brewpub. Kinney is a good friend of mine and quite a character. This interview was part of the exhibit the Way Watauga Works and the questions and responses focus on Kinney’s work history but it also delves into the history of homebrewing and craft beer in America. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I did.
