    Craft beer was meant to be better, to create an artisanal experience out of flavor, history, and culture. But sometimes, we overindulge and lose sight of what brought us here. My next guest reminds us that, for a great experience, mindful drinking is mandatory, but alcohol is optional. We find great experiences at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together.

Now, I want to take Good Beer Matters in other directions. It's not good by forever, just goodbye for now. So, consider this the end of the beginning, not the beginning of the end. There are more stories to tell and great beers to be experienced. But for now, the rest of this journey is yours. I would love to hear what stories resonated with you the most, and what you're doing to make beer culture even better.  Don't forget to grab a beer, hang out with your friends, and let your world open up.   Thank you for listening all these years.   Cheers --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-storton/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeremy-storton/support

    We can travel nearly anywhere to have a pint with locals. But there's one place we often find ourselves, a place where no-one else can go. This episode is about the experience we have in our mind, and the state of our mental health within the context of beer.  If we're sick we go to a doctor. If we're injured, a physical therapist. When we want to perform better, we see a coach. Addressing our mental health and our mental fitness ought to be the same. Good beer may have little to do with this, but it's a great way to get the conversation started.  We find great experiences at the intersection of craft and culture.

    Belgium holds one of the richest beer cultures in the world. But, with a history and culture as diverse as theirs, beer is only the beginning. My next guest is a master storyteller who guides us even deeper into the world beyond the beer we already know and love.    Because I haven't yet traveled to Belgium myself, It's easy for me to make assumptions about the culture based on my experience with the beer. But, we must remember that beer can serve as a tool and a doorway. It's not designed to answer questions. It's meant to elicit them.   We find great experiences at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together.

    It's a dream, to spend the day doing the activities you love with the people you love. Then, cap it all off with a great conversation, a meal, and a very good beer. My next guest tells the story of his pursuit of this dream and creating this experience for his guests.  The joy of the Pura Vida, or the good life, is sometimes just out of reach. In our fast-paced societies, I believe we need to find ways to cultivate more it.

    The middle of a desert may be the last place you'd find a brewery, but it's the best place to find a drink. Except, in this desert, there is a vast mix of cultures, affluence, and a complicated relationship with alcohol. My next guest has navigated through the challenges to create a brewery with a taste of the Middle East. If beer is a representation of culture, can we rely on beer to be the ambassador between cultures? Can the fusion of flavors guide our way as we find a peaceful and joy-filled existence? This may be too much to ask of a beer, but I'm grateful for breweries like Side Hustle for giving us hope.

    There's an old quote that goes something like, “Tell me what you eat and drink, and I'll tell you who you are.” This truly could be applied to any culture, but I think it especially applies to a culture so deeply rooted in their beer that the entire nation owns a brewery. My next guest tells an extra special story because it's about a nation, their beer and a decades long lawsuit that continues to threaten all of it.   Admittedly, the Czech Republic may not be know for the latest, but it's definitely one of the greatest when it comes to beer.  I haven't traveled there yet, but any place where people care about each other, their beer and taking their time to do it right, just sounds amazing.   A memorable experience is found where craft and culture collide. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together.   For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 124 of Good Beer Matters with Nicky Yardley of Budvar.

    Many of us are fortunate to have to choose between a number of breweries near our home. And, beer travel has not only become a thing, but planning destinations around access to beer is a normal criterion. But, with good beer becoming so ubiquitous, how do we find those out of the way and worth-staying-for-awhile experiences that stand out above the rest? My next guests have a tip or two to share with you when it comes to seeking out a truly great beer destination. There are beers perfect for every day drinking and there are some that are better reserved for special occasions. The same goes for breweries. Some are great for any ole occasion, and some are better for truly memorable experiences. If you haven't yet experienced the difference, then I urge you to put Vista Brewing, south of Austin Texas on your beer bucket list. A great experience lies at the intersection of craft and culture.

    I'm going to level with you. I originally didn't want to get into beer as a profession. I was an athlete and associated the beer business with excess and a growing belly. Not only was I wrong, but my next guest proves that athleticism and beer can go hand in hand. Between alcohol and abstinence lay nothing more than a foul-tasting stigma. At least, that's how it used to be. Alcohol is still a choice, but flavor and experience don't have to be compromised in the wake of that choice. Either way, we can have our beer, and drink it too.
