A Vietnam Podcast: Stories of Vietnam

Welcome to Beer Stories Episode 8 by Seven Million Bikes Podcasts! Produced by Niall Mackay.

Alex & Mischa welcome their former colleague and current HiWine Sales Rep Kat Marshall into the studio to discuss the Vietnamese Craft Beer Industry from an insider's look! 

Kat talks about how she got into the craft beer scene with the guys at BiaCraft & Quan Ut Ut, and then joined Pasteur Street Brewing Company as a Sales Rep before eventually moving on to the wine sales game. 

They also discuss the sensation of trying an IPA for the first time after a lifetime of light local lagers, the personality you need to be an effective sales rep, Vietnam's place in the larger craft beer community, why people like craft beer, the very beginnings of the Vietnamese Craft Beer Industry, the difference between selling wine and selling beer, and becoming a TikTok sensation!

Did That Really Happen? From Seven Million Bikes Podcasts. Book your tickets to see Korey David.

Ever heard a joke and asked, “Did That Really Happen?” 

My name’s Niall Mackay from Seven Million Bikes Podcasts and a comedian... long before I ever started comedy, when I heard comedians tell the craziest, funniest stories I would always wonder just that. And if I got a chance to meet them after the show I would always ask “Did That Really Happen?” 
… and 9 times out of 10 the answer was “Yes!” 

But the difference between sharing a story with friends and telling it on stage is a comedian’s ability to take those moments and craft them into a well worked joke. 

In each episode of this podcast I talk to comedians from around the world, play you one of their jokes, then ask them, “Did That Really Happen?”

Today I am with a special guest who is performing at Seven Million Bikes Comedy Show, One Night In Saigon this Saturday, Feb 11th at Eddie’s Diner in District 1.. If you haven’t already make sure you go book your tickets for the show, the link is in the show notes.

This psychedelic loving ex-Mormon Is a stand up comedian and actor based in Denver, CO who works out his angst on stage from growing up as the black sheep in an ultraconservative household. 

He has performed at High Plains Comedy Festival, Alaska b4 u die Fest, Vail Comedy Festival, is a regular at the world famous Comedy Works in Denver, and appeared on Netflix and Adult Swim.

My guest today is Korey David.
