Andrew Rowles & Kyle Bergen of Wayward Lane Brewing Company

January 30, 2024 • Keith Hernandez • Season 4 • Episode 12

This week's guests are two of the founders of Wayward Lane Brewing, Andrew Rowles and Kyle Bergen.

Wayward Lane is an amazing farm, brewery, and taproom located in a restored 1800's hophouse in the town of Schoharie, New York. They were crowned 2023 New York Brewery of the Year and since opening my shop they have become one of my favorite breweries as they make some amazing IPAs, crisp lagers, and dense porters- They're just crushing it!

The interview was done at their brewery so you'll hear some hustle and bustle in the background. We discussed how they came together and decided upstate New York would be home, how they grew from selling out of the taproom to distributing across the state, and what excites them most about the beer industry in 2024.
