We get into Jamal’s absurdly storied industry history, NEBCo’s shocking (to Noah, anyways) size, and the array of inspirational ways he’s leading change in the beer industry through action, not words. Let ...
#135: Dustin Small | Forager
January 30, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBWooooh, get your learnin' pants on for this one! We're joined but BB3R's very own Dustin Small, an integral member of our small Milo staff and as we've come to find out, a pretty damn knowledgable forager.

#133: Mike Semenec & Vince Tursi | DSSOLVR
January 17, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 61 MB2022 keeps the positive momentum rolling (at least with this podcast), as we're joined by the co-founders of DSSOLVR -- Vince Tursi (again) and Mike Semenec (a first). We often reference our first interview with Vince as an archetype for what this podcast is at its most complete, and this conversation only built upon that. On the beer side, we get DEEEEP in the coffee beer weeds (technical townies, UNITE); Mike sheds light on how the hell he maintains the aesthetic output the brewery demean...
#132: Ashley Medrano | Trillium Brewing
January 10, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 42.9 MBAfter a holiday recharge, we are back with a 🔥 for a conversation with Ashley Medrano. Ashley cans beer at @TrilliumBrewing by day, but cracks open cans of whoop ass by night as Ashley Vox, a professional wrestler that’s had matches everywhere from local fairgrounds to @AllEliteWrestling, @LimitlessWrestling, and @RingofHonor. Apparently, a lot has happened in wrestling since the late ‘90s, and Ashley is a certified badass in the center of an industry that looks very different than the one ...

#127: Matt Bolinder | Speckled Ax Coffee
November 23, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 61 MBSomehow, the podcast has chugged forward for nearly three years without a single coffee episode -- that ends TODAY. The guys are joined by Matt Bolinder, owner of Speckled Ax Wood Roasted Coffees in Portland. Matt charts the windy and certainly unconventional road that led him to Speckled Ax, and discusses how opening a business seemed like the only way to stay in Maine (despite a newly-acquired PhD in literature). We also learn why (the hell) he chose to get started with a decidedly rare wo...

The guys also crack open the mailbag to get into centrifuges, gluten-free beer, the need for decoction, floating bungs, and the separation of brett (church) and sacc (state) in...

October 25, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 65 MBTaking a much needed breather to put the finishing touches on the *new* Portland studio, preparing for a Murder's Row of upcoming guests, and to be completely honest, do a lot of lawn work (not sexy, but valid nonetheless). In the stead of the normal fresh-fresh, we're revisiting an extremely enjoyable conversation that occurred back in February with farmer, father, brewer, and notably, Exeter's chief Seinfeldophile -- Matt Richardson of Tilted Barn. This is one we internally reference to th...
#122: Noah Bissell | Bissell Brothers
October 18, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 58.1 MBFor the second occasion, it's in-house biography time at Graining In. While his story is devoid of the cinema-ready motifs of overcoming crippling drug addiction and the journey of self-actualization, Noah's origin tale does have its healthy share of... ....uh, well, other stuff? We dive deeper than ever before in how Noah ended up finding and falling in love with brewing, the personal cost of running a business you love, identity within work, and the pliability required to grow a business s...

We get into Suzy's path into hospitality (shout out PF Chang's); the how and why of the immense emphasis Row 34 places on staff training; how Suzy approaches curating what's often lauded as the most consistently great draft list in Boston; and the immeasurable value in believing in your ability to "figure it out". And of course, we also explore the age-old question: "IS ANYONE HERE A MARINE BIOLOGIST?!?" ..............
#119: Jake Gerry | Keystone Sea Farm
September 27, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 58.7 MBYOU can't shuck with him if you wan-ned to, but you know he'll shuck with the Grain Gang (literally) -- shucker supreme, Jake Gerry of Keystone Sea Farm and High Roller Lobster!

September 13, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 66 MBWe are once again graced with the virtual presence of the Biotransformation Bad Boy himself, a man that is maintains Neymar-like celebrity status in Brazil, and co-owner of Maryland's Sapwood Cellars: Scott Janish!

September 06, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.4 MBDue to a blowout wedding, a visit to Pittsburgh, and - let's face it - poor planning, the guys decided it was as good a week to revisit a conversation had nearly a year ago with a brewing idol-turned-highly respected peer....

August 23, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBStraight from the freshest warehouse in Portland and just in time for the 2021 harvest, Adam Moses of Yakima Chief Hops joins the show! Adam is Noah's sale rep for YCH, a "grower-owned global hop supplier" that BBB gets the majority of its hop volume from each year. The conversation tries to demystify the Wonka-esque and (arguably) the most complex link in beer's supply chain link; really emphasizes the "grower-owned" aspect of the company, its structure, and overall ethos; and breaks down ...
#113: Jensen Bissell | Father of the Beer
August 16, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 71.2 MB"The Father of the Beer" (per his current official title) himself -- Milo resident, brewery groundskeeper, chief recycler, retired forester, former Director of Baxter State Park, AND father of Peter and Noah -- JENSEN BISSELL makes his long-awaited introduction to the podcasting world.

The company has come a long, long way since and supplies arguably ...
#107: Brian Smith | Oyster River Winegrowers
July 05, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBWe're joined this week by Brian Smith of Oyster River Winegrowers, at he and his wife Allie's farm/ vineyard/orchard in Warren, ME. Despite over a hundred episodes, we've yet to talk with a winemaker, due not to lack of interest but lack of a vibrant grape-based wine/vineyard culture in Maine and New England. The inherent difficulty in growing grapes suitable for winemaking in the region makes Oyster River's products -- and its nearly fifteen year history -- all the more impressive. Brian l...
#106: On the Spruce Tip
June 28, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBThe guys once again find themselves alone and unassisted, making for some very predictable results. Matty, fresh out of the bowels of the Maine wilderness in pursuit of this year's bounty of spruce tips (aided by a career forester and a highly adept forager, respectively), recounts the process and his questionable picking metrics while connecting some dots on Enchanted Forest's creation flow chart. Noah proves once again just how little he knows about anything that comes from the ground, mak...

Kenny has a wild story, laced with the entrepreneurial themes we absolutely love. He got his start as a writer for Gear Patrol, all while nursing a growing love for beer on the side. He decided to take the next logical step and open a free online digital publication called Hop Culture, which itself quickly morphed into largely a niche craft beer festival organizer...obviously.

May 31, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 78.7 MBWe were felt truly honored to have the opportunity to sit down this week with the head brewer of Notch, Brienne Allan. If you don't know Brienne's name by now (or, at the very least her Instagram handle @Ratmaget), then it's probably time to find a different cell provider. She walks us through the unintended series of events that, in a matter of days, led to an absolute tsunami of shared experiences of sexism from women working in all corners of beer, brought the topic to the forefront of c...
#101: Colin Jones & Jake Goodman | WeldWerks Brewery
May 24, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 77.2 MBWe got Season Three started like a finely-tuned BMW and were joined by a team tag from Colorado's WeldWerks -- CEO Colin Jones and Hospitality Director Jake Goodman! Marking our first conversation with a CO-based brewery, we pick the guys' brains on what the vibe is really like out west, particularly in WeldWorks' home base in Greeley (a city affectionately dubbed by the podcast as "The Pittsburgh of the Rockies"). We also dive deep into the concept of "creative destruction", how the brewery...

#99: Jason Bosch | Red Stallion Media
May 10, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBSerendipity sang its sweet song this week, and after getting footage for a small video project, we kept the good times rollin' with the man who shot it - Jason Bosch of Red Stallion Media. In addition to his highly-respected brand, Jason's been doing an increasing amount of video work for the brewery, so naturally we go deep on his path into videography, discuss the "ideal" relationship of video with both breweries and podcasts, and the ever-frequent paradigm shifts the field continues to e...
#98: Greatest Hits Vol. 1
May 06, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 49.5 MBHaving now done this podcast for nearly two full years, the idea of a “highlight” episode has come up here and there, if nothing else to celebrate the plethora of interesting, inspiring, and funny conversations we’ve been privileged to have over that span. Well, the procrastination finally wore down, and after many, many, many hours of slapping it all together — here is, available NOW on all platforms... GRAINING IN GREATEST: HITS vol. #1.

#97: Jamaal Lemon | Writer
April 26, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 60.4 MBThanks to a serendipitous crossing of paths, this week the podcast welcomes writer Jamaal Lemon! Matty heard Jamaal speaking in a a Clubhouse chat a few months back and his vibe sense immediate started tingling. After doing a little digging, it became clear the man was a lot more than a natural speaker; in addition to being a contributor to multiple beer-focused media (Good Beer Hunting, CraftBeer.com), Jamaal also wrote the award-winning piece, "Mutated Axieties - Living and Parenting While...
#96: Late Night Hype
April 19, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 45.8 MBLet's get it out of the way - this is an episode for the ages; an MP3 file you one day will very likely tell your grandchildren about hearing; 66 minutes that we would absolutely turn into an NFT if we knew how. We talk about Noah's current ride on the "his own beer" train, single hopped IPAs, Substance variants (including one that will see oak), and a handful of other juicy topics. But MOST importantly, we talk about oaths, word being bond, and the beautiful auditory by-products that come ...

April 05, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 47.3 MBAlmost exactly a year later, we once again found our way into a Zoom conversation with a Georgia brewer. This time around, it was former accountant James Massey who, with his wife Liz, has owned and operated Savannah's Two Tides. We were introduced to Two Tides through the fandom of BBB employee Nate Travis, who used to live in Savannah and frequent the brewery. So we begin the conversation by separating rosy second-hand memories from reality (turns out they're one in the same) and getting i...
