HCPC43: Dark Sky Brewing - 300 Beers in 3 Years, and PBR Is Better Than Hamms
Explicit content warning
05/16/18 • 73 min
(NSFW) When the good people up at Dark Sky Brewing asked if we wanted to come up to Flagstaff and chat we said yes. It helped that the date we settled on was their 3rd Anniversary Party. We sat down with Ryan Sandlin Co-Owner, Brewer, and all around pretty cool guy. We talk about how a night of backyard drinking with friends turned into this beer making machine that is Dark Sky Brewing. The growing pains that they saw early on, and what the future plans are for the brewery. We marvel at the sheer number of beers they have made in the last three years, what was good, and what was not so good with some of them. We talk the amount of collaborations they have done, their latest can and bottle releases, and what everyone will be missing at the festivities that night. Along the way Ryan treats us to samples of each of the new releases, and some beers that are no longer in production. If you get a chance to check out Dark Sky Brewing in Flagstaff Arizona the first international dark sky city, we highly recommend it.

The assorted sounds of three ageing humans hitting things in a studio for five days. Beautifully nasty and pretty vile at times but ultimately gorgeous. Enjoy!

HCPC42: Captain Fattys, 12 West, and Grand Canyon Road Trip Oh My!
(NSFW) This episode finds us in Goleta, California with the boys from 12 West and Grand Canyon Brewing. The fine folks at Captain Fatty’s Brewing invited them out to brew up a couple collabs, and they were nice or crazy enough to invite us along. After a hell of a road trip, checking in on the So. Cal craft scene to see what Bottle Logic, Monkish, Phantom Carriage and a few other fine breweries were up to, we made our way up the coast to Goleta near Santa Barbara. We sampled more beers, soaked in the amazing hospitality and were treated to some amazing tacos. This was a super fun trip, and resulted in a super fun episode, join in and listen to the awesomeness that goes into a collab when some incredible brewers hook up and do their thing!

Mr. Herbert is seriously nothing short of amazing, listen in and find out how a mild-mannered Phoenix firefighter discovered his calling for Mead, and try to figure out how he does it (while remaining a full-time Phoenix firefighter).
