Episode 99 Middle Class, Midwestern, Middle-Aged White Guy Vegetables with Matt Utter

Hey Listener, we’re kicking off 2023 with the first ever series of “What Ya Into?” episodes. For the next 6 weeks I’ll be interviewing the brewers, staff, and chefs of Highgrain Brewing Co. (my neighborhood brewery). First up is owner/brewer Matt Utter whose passion for creating and comradery go beyond the walls of HG and into his home. We talk about his home garden and his favorite things to make in the kitchen. Topics this week include: Being an owner and a team member. Learning to brew in Germany and the joy that beer brings people. A What Ya Into? Breaking News exclusive and the new HG projects for 2023. Horseshoes, Boules, Jorts, & Jarts. Rawdoggin’ life. Lionel Richard, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and Spaghetti. In the garden. Shout out Nathan and Hot Sauce for Mortals. No one likes a rat. Working with people in your neighborhood. No one knows where your host is from. Reptiles, guns, and knives. Italian night. Soup talk. A garage filled with propane tanks and Utter makes a pop culture reference. Keg smoker and meats. Defining “food” beer. “Says who”? Dinners where you shouldn’t wear jeans. Enjoying life.
