We're back for Season 2! Join the HelloBakersfield team as we get the new year started with Frank "Pancho" Miranda, the owner and head brewer of 2nd Phase Brewing in Downtown Bakersfield. He has been working on this for eight years, starting with homemade beers in his backyard to now owning his own brewery. He's heard the buzz that people are excited but, even with the opening quickly approaching, it still doesn't feel real.Miranda is a petroleum-industry chemist by training and transferred those skills to brewing. His background in chemistry was the inspiration for the name, referring to one of the four fundamental states of matter — liquid. But the name has another meaning and can be viewed as a new start for him.
