CL-013 Alyssa Pereira finds the spirit of radio

It’s another episode of the GBH Collective, an ongoing series of interviews
where we dive a little deeper with Good Beer Hunting contributors and
friends on topics of writing, beer and the stories you read and hear from
GBH.

In this episode we’re checking back in with another member of the GBH team,
Alyssa Pereira. You’re likely to have come across her words in recent
months, as she’s profiled Russian River, told the story of Firestone
Walker’s unexpected flagship 805 Blonde Ale, and given an in-person recap
of one of the country’s most beloved beer fests, the Firestone Walker
Invitational.

Most recently however, she’s also become a voice here on Good Beer
Hunting’s podcasts, bringing a new collection of interviews from her home
state of California, which isn’t just the most populous state, but one of
the most prolific when it comes to beer and all the stories that can be
told around it.

In our own conversation, you’ll learn what it’s like for Alyssa to add the
title of podcast host to her repertoire, as well as the background of what
took her from covering the music industry to her day job at the San
Francisco Chronicle and now acting as a journalist also covering the U.S.
beer industry. She’s been a welcome and important addition to GBH’s
editorial team, and I hope this chat gives you some insight to appreciate
her work even more.

This is Alyssa Pereira, reporter, podcast host, and Golden State treasure.
Listen in.
