I sit down with Sho Ogawa, the head brewer at Mountainview Brewing in Hope, BC. Sho is originally from Osaka, Japan. Before Sho embarked on his professional brewing career, Sho spent his time working in academia while dabbling with homebrewing beer in Japan. He holds a PhD in film and media studies, where his research focused on the representation of queer men in Japanese softcore porn. We discuss beer culture in Japan, softcore Japanese porn, the Asian identity, and how Sho transitioned from being a PhD student to a head brewer.
