In a heart-wrenching first solo adventure, Josh heads to Santa Barbara's Telegraph Brewing to meet founder Brian Thompson alongside Epic Brewings' Jeff Campbell to discuss their recent merger, sour beers, what to expect from the future and to work their way through such a sexy beer list it was hard to leave! We also delve into Brians beery past and take a look at an incredible career (so far!) from before Telegraph to the pairing with Epic. As lovers of both these breweries, it was cool to sit down and really talk it all out. We hope you enjoy it as much as (Josh) enjoyed recording it! We also talked about the incredible 4th Annual Dia de las Obscuras Sour Beer Festival held at Telegraph! A few tickets are still available at (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dia-de-las-obscuras-2018-sour-beer-festival-tickets-44488538416) so act quick to avoid disappointment. We'll see you there :-D

011 -At Dry River Brewing - Slow Sour Beers and Sweet Fast Laughs with Naga Reshi & Garrett Margolis

This week the boys' adventure to Dry River Brewing in Downtown L.A. to drink Turmeric (we still have the stains to prove it), call each other names and laugh (a lot) with owner/head brewer and all-around interesting dude Naga Reshi, accompanied by his brewing partner and also stand up guy - Garrett Margolis. We delve into what it really takes to brew decent sour beers (and how long) and how building a community out of helping one another can affect the beers you brew and the path you take in life. This chat was incredibly insightful for us both on what it truly means to be a brewer, and as you'll soon tell by the raucous laughter - a whole lot of fun, too. Amazing men with amazing stories to tell - please enjoy our time with Dry River Brewing! THE BEERS THIS WEEK: Dry River - Lady Roja / Silhouette (Sour Porter!) / Floria / 100 proof Turmeric (why notttt)

013 - At Pacific Plate Brewing with the wonderful Stephen Kooshian

In this weeks *ahem* very slightly delayed episode (sorry guys!) we sat down with Stephen Kooshian of Pacific Plate Brewing out of Monrovia, California to discuss Bavarian beers, Armenian coffee, the fabled lesser Steve ( who might just be greater Steve - you can decide), and what it takes to run a brewery. The guys go head to head on some nerdy beer history while working through a glorious and wonderfully varied tap list, with Adam dropping only one microphone and Josh only over knocking one beer. I call that a success. From experimental home brewers to running one of Americas fastest growing breweries - you’re going to love the Pacific Plate story!
