Episode 72 – Judy Neff — PhD, Brewing Science & The Story of Checkerspot Brewing

We had Judy Neff in the Lounge for a deep dive into her background, her PhD in microbiology, and the story behind building Checkerspot Brewing Company in Baltimore.

We talked about the science of brewing, how she went from studying microbiology to running a brewery, the growth of Checkerspot, and some of the beers that helped define the brewery — including her favorite, Juniperus IPA. Judy is the co-owner and head brewer at Checkerspot Brewing and one of the people helping shape Baltimore’s craft beer scene.
