E265: The Saison Show - Origins, Style Profile, and Homebrewing Tips

March 13, 2021 05:01 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MB

We want to Make Saisons Cool Again It wasn't that long ago that saisons were one of the popular styles.  Several breweries offered up some variation or another and a lot of great collaborations came about.  The saisons are still there, they just don't have the hype they used to.  We'd love to see them come back around. The saison style started in 1700s in Wallonia, the French-speaking part of Belgium.   Each farm brewed their own take on these Farmhouse Ales in the cold months for seasonal...

E263: Coffee and coffee beer with Apotheos Roastery

February 27, 2021 05:01 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MB

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...

February 13, 2021 05:01 - 43 minutes - 29.6 MB

Whiskey comes in many forms, but bourbon is America's spirit The origins of bourbon are both known and debated.  We know early settlers in Virginia and Kentucky made use of the abundance of corn to distill their whiskey, but there are a variety of stories on who was first to put it in a new, charred oak barrel and to actually call it bourbon.  No matter the exact origins of bourbon we now have a spirit that is all American to enjoy.  Congress declared so in 1964 stating that bourbon is a "di...

Asheville's UpCountry Brewing with founder John Cochran

January 23, 2021 05:01 - 43 minutes - 60.4 MB

UpCountry Brewing's John Cochran has a long brewing history UpCountry Brewing is one of Asheville's newer breweries but it's not the first brewing rodeo for founder John Cochran. Cochran got his start at Marthasville Brewing, one of Georgia's first and, unfortunately, short lived.  Way back in the dark ages (the mid-1990s) there wasn't much craft beer to be had in Georgia.  The US was feeling the effects of the 90s brewery bust and this little southern state was behind the times to begi...

Having a Hoot with Parliament Brewing Co.

January 16, 2021 05:01 - 43 minutes - 60.4 MB

Did you know a group of owls is called a Parliament? I was hopeful that Parliament Brewing Co. was inspired by some cool P-Funk but Brewmaster Justin Bosch tells us it's all about the owls as they convey a sense of community and contemplation. Bosch is part of the father/son/son trio behind Parliament and he took an interesting route to opening a brewery.  While pursuing a law degree he played professional poker, for his brewing certificate from UC Davis, and worked at Schlafly in St. Lo...

Beer Guys Radio 5th Anniversary Reunion

January 02, 2021 05:01 - 43 minutes - 64.3 MB

Wow, we've been at this thing for five years now... The world of 2016 was a different time. There were a lot fewer breweries than there are now, a lot more IBUs in our IPAs, and a total lack of global pandemics. Good times. When we started Beer Guys Radio we intended to be a local show covering the Georgia beer scene. Folks seemed to enjoy our chatter and asked us to cover beer outside the state and we started getting more radio stations across the country. With that push we changed the ...

Going Strapless with Bootstrap Brewing

December 05, 2020 05:01 - 43 minutes - 59.7 MB

Bootstrap Brewing defies plague, sees excellent growth in 2020 Unprecedented Times, Social Distancing, The New Normal... we've got plenty of terrible phrases to describe the dumpster fire that has been 2020 and its impact on everything we do.  We've seen breweries and bars layoff staff (sometimes more than once) or close altogether.  Bootstrap Brewing isn't having it.  They're following all the protocols to be safe but, despite the challenges, they've seen excellent growth this year and t...
