Iowa Beer Podcast

After some technical difficulties, the Iowa Beer Podcast returns to talk Alluvial's 3rd Anniversary party, Toppling Goliath's Assassin Day and Barn Town's upcoming Imaginary Time bottle release. It's a broad list of topics so we hope you enjoy and tell a friend.

On this week's pod, Eric and I welcome special Guest Grant Gillon on the show to talk about trading and selling beer. Feeding off of last week's discussion about beer hype and beer releases we make the transition into discussing beer value. Is beer worth waiting in line for? Is there a market for beers and what's the value? We talk about last week's beer releases in Des Moines and the upcoming releases at Pulpit Rock and Toppling Goliath and what those beers are worth. Also, we'll get a little into what black market values on beers can mean for a smaller, or newer brewery.

With Madhouse Brewing and Barn Town Brewing both releasing new bottles of beer this weekend in Des Moines, Eric and I thought that was worthy of discussion. Also, we talk bottle release lines, line/release etiquette and beer hype. We get a little into how and or if social media and apps like Untappd influence behavior and discuss the fear of missing out (FOMO). How breweries use social media, friends and family, etc. to help sell their beers. Thanks for listening and please, if you enjoy the show, tell a friend.
