CL-010 - Kyle Kastranec phones home

Welcome back to another episode of the GBH Collective, a special series of
interviews where we have the chance to 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.

This week’s conversation is with a fan favorite: Kyle Kastranec. As one of
the longest-tenured writers for Good Beer Hunting, you may have become
familiar with his work through a variety of feature stories he’s written
over the years. But more recently, Kyle has become a star for GBH through
his Banquet and Chill blog, which includes some of the most fun, original,
and thoughtful personal essays on beer I find strewn across the internet.

In recent months, you may have shared fond memories of open containers,
airline drinks, dive bars, or your personal Mount Crushmore—all topics that
went from Kyle’s brain to his blog, and quickly became a fun game for lots
of people to play through social media. In a way, Kyle is GBH’s leader when
it comes to viral content—however you want to classify it—and he continues
to delight and surprise with peeks into mind and the way he views beer. And
as you’ll find, it’s all very deliberate and thought out, too.

This is Kyle Kastranec, contributor, Renaissance Man, and King of Viral
Media for Good Beer Hunting. Listen in...
