Episode 16: 608 and Friends Parking Lot Party Interviews

06/14/22 • 38 min

Episode number 16 was a fun one! We made our way down to La Crosse, WI for the 608 and Friends Parking Lot Party! This was originally supposed to be the 2nd Annual 608 Day, but due to some circumstances outside of their control, there had to be a late change in plans, as Phil Humphrey talks about. We had to dodge some rain, but no one really seemed to care, everyone was having an amazing time! Great breweries, great beer, great friends, and great conversation!
We were fortunate enough to interview the 5 breweries present that were serving beer at the parking lot party. We spoke with Austin Jevne, from Humble Forager Brewery, Kyle Vetter, from 1840 Brewing, Tim Goers, from G5 Brewing, Simon McConico, from Vennture Brewing, and Levi Funk, from Untitled Art.
We had 4 main questions for each of them, where they talked about their brewery, talked about what beer they brought, talked about what makes their brewery unique, and what makes the craft beer community so special. It was awesome to hear how the craft beer community comes together to support each other, such as events like this that had to make a last-minute change in plans. Take a listen to hear what they had to say! If you would like to find out more about each of these breweries, and their beer, check them out below!

Episode 15: 608 Brewing - Phil Humphrey of 608 Brewing

For episode 15, we sat down with Phil Humphrey, Owner and Head Brewer, at 608 Brewing Company, in La Crosse, WI. 608 is the area code for the Southwestern quadrant of Wisconsin and it's also where you can find this innovative brewery that is not afraid to push the limits on what you can brew. We talked about the how and why of what they brew, including their barrel-aging program. We also spend some time talking about the numerous collaborations 608 has done with other breweries and why that is so important to Phil. With all they have going on, it's not hard to see why they have quickly been gaining popularity and notoriety. We also touched on what makes 608 unique, plus much more!

Episode 17: Views on Tap #2 - The Brewing Process, With Guest, Haven Schultz

For episode number 17, and our second Views on Tap episode, we are explaining the brewing process. Our guest is Haven Schultz, homebrewer and part of the leadership team for The Bru Club Facebook group, which is associated with one of my favorite homebrewing podcasts, Brulosophy. Listen to hear how Haven and I met, along with how and why he got hooked on homebrewing. And, of course, the brewing process.
We were on-site at my garage, in Eau Claire, WI recording the podcast during a brew day! Not all of the people who listen to this podcast are homebrewers or professional brewers, just craft beer and brewery fans, so we wanted to do more of an educational episode that walks you through the brewing process, while attempting to keep it simple and fun. Hopefully the more you understand about the brewing process, the more you'll get out of the BrewViews podcast and the more you'll get out of visiting you favorite breweries! If you have any questions, feedback, or want to know more from Haven, you can reach him at [email protected].
