E138: Brewing up collaboration with Against the Grain and Nappy Roots

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

08/18/18 • 44 min

What's luck if you ain't from Kentucky?

The founders of Louisville, Kentucky's Against the Grain Brewery got their start because they weren't satisfied with the way beer was being represented in their town. After a disappointing visit to a local brewpub, whose brewhouse sat unused in a dark and dusty corner, they hunted down the owner and offered to buy the place. Today, Against the Grain Brewery and Smokehouse is nestled in that spot at Louisville Slugger Field, home to baseball's minor league Louisville Bats.

This week, co-owner Sam Cruz joins us to talk about their journey to opening the brewery, how beer names drive recipe creation, and how Japan and Europe are just small steps in their plan for world domination because "Everyone deserves Against the Grain beer."

We're also joined by Fish Scales and Skinny Deville of Nappy Roots and Atlantucky Brewing. If you're a regular listener of Beer Guys Radio you've likely heard us talk beer with the Nappy Roots crew before. We discuss their collaboration with Against the Grain, Water-Melon Chiquen & Gritz, and how that collaboration is launching new beer adventures for them.

Our featured beers this week were all about Against the Grain:

Pome and Grabbit | Tart Wheat Ale with ginger and pomegranate
London Balling | English-style Barleywine aged in Angel's Envy bourbon barrels (A Beer Guys favorite)
Stave it for Later: Maple Bockin’ Pastries | Doppelbock with West Virginia maple syrup
Kamen Knuddeln | Kentucky Common

In the news this week we discuss a 'raid" on a Georgia homebrew club meeting, additional evidence of the world's oldest beer, and improved brewery laws in Illinois.

Make sure to tune in next week as we talk with Athens, Georgia's Monk's Mead.

E263: Coffee and coffee beer with Apotheos Roastery

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

02/27/21 • 44 min

Bringing coffee and beer together makes for one great beverage

Adding coffee to beer in modern brewing only goes back a few decades but individually both have been enjoyed for centuries. For coffee, the story traces back to an Ethiopian goatherder who noticed his flock full of energy and "dancing" after eating a small red fruit off of some shrubs. The goatherder figured he'd give it a shot as well and soon joined his energetic goats. The origins of beer, as we've discussed before, isn't crystal clear, but suffice it to say beer has been a part of our lives for a long time.

We sat down this week with Apotheos Roastery's Adam Silverberg, Dale Hughes, and Jason White to learn more about that coffee origin story and how it spread across the world. White also shares some info with us on the roasting process and the flavors in coffee that compliment our beloved beers. We sample a few brews as we chat and we all left dancing like a bunch of goats.

E251: Like Father, Like Son at Six Bridges Brewing

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

11/21/20 • 43 min

Six Bridges Brewing celebrates 2nd anniversary as they eye expansion

Just ahead of the kickoff for the 2nd Anniversary month Six Bridges Brewing's Clay Gridley joined us the studio for this week's show.

Clay is one half of the father and son team behind Six Bridges, dad Charles Gridley makes up the other half. A Georgia Tech grad, Charles enjoyed homebrewing in his spare time as a chemical engineer and notes his engineer background brings valuable experience to the team. Clay took some time off to be a professional ski bum in Colorado before becoming a firefighter. He enjoyed his homebrewing as well and the pair often talked about opening a brewery one day.

In 2018 they made it happen with their opening in Johns Creek, GA. The initial plan was to never brew the same beer twice but after the overwhelming popularity of some of their inaugural beers they decided it's OK to have a few staples. Medlock IPA and their Pink Guava Sour Continuum are always favorites.

We talk with Clay about how things are going working with his dad, the pros and cons, and whether they compliment or contrast each other. (Hint, it's both.) We also discuss growth at their current location as well as plans for additional taprooms in the future, and we get the rundown on the special brews planned for their anniversary month.

E202: BGR202: Revolution Brewing with John "Jumpy" Palos

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

11/16/19 • 44 min

Revolution Brewing's Jumpy Palos talks FoBAB, experimental brewing, pairing Revolution beers with iconic Chicago foods

Revolution Brewing's John "Jumpy" Palos got his start about the same time we launched Beer Guys Radio in early 2016. He worked his way up from the packaging department and is now the Lead Pub Brewer at their Chicago brewpub.

In addition to keeping the taps flowing at the brewpub Palos also takes on R&D, brewing with a variety of experimental malts and hops. We talk about some of the fun brews he's done, including his most recent creation - a hazy Black IPA. We discuss beer and band collaborations on the heels of their recent La Gargola beer, brewed with rockers Chevelle. We talk FoBAB, the Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer, where Revolution just brought home two medals, and we get the take on the current craft beer scene in Chicago.

After discussing the similarities to creating music and creating beer we put Palos on the spot to tell us which songs would go best with their recent FoBAB winners and get his pairing suggestions for some of Chicago's most iconic foods.

E199: BGR199: Good Word Brewing with Todd DiMatteo

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

10/26/19 • 44 min

Good Word Brewing is serving up great beer and food in the Atlanta suburbs

When Good Word Brewing opened in Duluth, GA the sleepy Atlanta suburb was just beginning to see some revitalization. The town has welcome new neighbors offering craft beer and great food to the area and Good Word is making its mark on craft beer.

On this week's show Good Word Brewing's co-owner and brewer Todd DiMatteo joins us in the studio. We've known Todd a long time, back when he was the general manager at the famed Brick Store Pub in Decatur, GA. His partner at Good Word, Ryan Skinner, also worked many years at Brick Store as the Beer Manager.

Good Word has been making waves recently. They were invited to this year's Shelton Fest in Buffalo, NY and they've received praise in the press from Thrillist and Hop Culture for their amazing beers. We talk with Todd about what this means for their brewery, Asheville breweries and beer bars, their upcoming 2nd anniversary, and we get his suggestions for pairing beer and Halloween candy.

You Can Brew Good Word Brewing's Never Sleep IPA

Thrillist named Never Sleep one of the best IPAs in America. Todd generously shared his homebrew recipe with the Homebrewer's Association if you want to have a go at it.

E273: Hop Tea and Hop Water with Hoplark

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

05/15/21 • 43 min

Hoplark with Hot Talk on Hop Tea and Hop Water

You know we love our beer, but we do dabble in alternative beverages. This week we're getting all fancy and sipping tea... with plenty of hops.

Hoplark co-founder Dean Eberhardt joins us on the show this week to talk about his Hop Tea and Hop Water. We learn what got the ball rolling on Hoplark, and we get educated on the many varieties of teas.

We ask Dean for some pairing suggestions for his hop teas, but he tries to get us to exercise and tells us the pair great with a long bike ride. That may be, but I'm gonna try mine with some wings, Dean.

Seriously, though. These teas and waters are pretty tasty and give you another choice if you want something crafty and hoppy but can't (or don't want to) have alcohol. Take one into the next meeting with your boss and sip it while he goes over those quarterly reports. It will make it so much better.

Since there's no alcohol you can get Hoplark direct from their website at www.hoplark.com. They're also available in whole foods, with future plans to get distribution at bottle shops. Check 'em out.

Their core varieties are:

The Citra Bomb | White Tea double dry-hopped with Citra
The Really Hoppy One | Black Tea with Simcoe and Citra (this is the one for IPA fans)
The Green Tea One | Green tea and Mosaic
The White Tea One | White Tea with Lemondrop and Simcoe (lighter, Tim dug this one)
We also tried the Sabro and Mosaic Hop Waters and those are pretty dope.

E291: Getting Down with Dead Low Brewing

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

10/02/21 • 44 min

Dead Low Brewing co-founder Kyle Havens and investor and member of the board Yvan Demosthenes join us this week to talk shop!

We discuss the many faces of dark lager and how a lot of people have misconceptions about lager beers PLUS the wonders of a Country Lager. We learn what Dead Low means and how that ties in with the brewery, rocking concerts near by, and give some love to Ohio for their support of the show.

For our Beers of the Week, we go with a Tiki theme, including:

Left Hand Getting Tiki With It (Pina Colada wheat)
Creature Comforts Athena Paradiso (Pineapple, Lemon, Coriander)
Great Divide Margarita Gose
Destihl Hawaii Five Ale (Blond ale with pineapple, coconut, mango, peach, & guava)

E297: Textile Brewing Co.

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

11/13/21 • 44 min

If you brew it, will they drink?

Textile Brewing is just a few miles from the Field of Dreams. My clever mind thought of the "if you brew it" line as soon as I heard this fact. Of course, it's the same line that everyone thinks of. Great minds, right?

I managed to hold off for most of the show on making the "joke," but it is a fun fact about the brewery. Another fun fact, founder Tom Olberding had no brewing experience when he decided he was going to open a brewery. To compliment his skills he hired Nick Ashton as his assistant brewer, who also had no brewing experience.

Lack of experience aside, Textile is offering up some really tasty beers. We sampled a Blonde Ale, Vienna Lager, IPA, and a coffee-pumpkin ale and all were damn good. Cheers to the new guys.

If you find yourself in Dyersville, IA stop in and find out for yourself. We hear their beer pairs great with a Canadian bacon and sauerkraut pizza.

E301: 100 years of Shiner Beer

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

12/18/21 • 44 min

Why are Shiner bottles twist-off?

So you can get the beer out!

We had a blast talking with Brewmaster Jimmy Mauric and Brand Manager Nick Weiland about the long history of Shiner Beer. We don't talk with many 100+ year old breweries, so we had plenty to talk about. Jimmy's been with the brewery for 44 years so he knows a thing or two about the history. He tells us how the brewery survived Prohibition by selling ice and non-alcoholic (wink wink) Near Beer, and how their Bock dates all the way back to 1913.

Jimmy admits that the shift into these crazier brews was a bit tough for him at first, but he's all on board now. Berries and Cream beers, trail mix ales (that absolutely nails the flavor) and even cocktail-inspired seltzers.

The Beer List

Shiner 1909 Heritage Lager
Shiner Holiday Cheer
Shiner S'more
Shiner Trail Ale
Shiner Toasted Amber
Shiner Tall 'Tails Mexican Martini (Hard Seltzer)

Toss a brew to your Witcher, more brewery buyouts, and Long Beer love

Beer Guys Radio Craft Beer Podcast

Ever struggled to adapt in a constantly changing landscape?
We discuss the challenges that breweries face and how they must evolve to stay afloat. We delved into the latest updates on the New Jersey Brewery Law while also sharing our recent visit to Six Bridges Brewery in Milton, Georgia. We even touched on the stigma that comes with a struggling brewery..
As we sipped on various craft beers, we explored unusual concepts like carbonated pork rinds (a guy can dream) and the ABV limit on beer. We also emphasized the importance of supporting local craft breweries and their ongoing battle to stay alive in a competitive market.
But wait, there's more! We ventured into the realm of craft beer cameos and collaborations with movies and TV series, such as the partnership between Athletic Brewing and Netflix for the Witcher series. Plus, we talked about the emerging trend of 19.2-ounce stovepipes in craft beer and why convenience stores are the perfect place to find them.
