Fogbelt Brewing Company owner Paul Hawley is here along with Native American brewer Pedro Mancilla to tell about the return of Red Tail Ale. Hawley, co-founder of Fogbelt Brewing Company is here along with Native American brewer Pedro Mancilla to talk about bringing back Red Tail Ale. Fogbelt is making some of Mendocino Brewing's classic Red Tail Ale. This was the most famous brew early in the craft brewing movement. In the 1980s it was one of the leading new beers. Fogbelt Paul tells how he and Remy Martin started the brewery in 2013 after home brewing for a time. Remy studied brewing at UC Davis. They opened their brewpub on Cleveland Ave in Santa Rosa in 2014, then outgrew that space. They moved production to an offsite warehouse. Then in 2022 they opened the Healdsburg Beer Garden in the red caboose. Pedro Mancilla introduces himself. He is the brewer at Fogbelt Brewing company. He has Native American Ancestors and shares “I am of you and you are of me” in his native language. The Red Tail Hawk in a symbol of wisdom, protection and care for the land. The Red Tail Ale project is more than a beer, it is a celebration of his connection to his heritage. Don Barkley developed the recipe back then for Mendocino Brewing and now he has given the recipe to Fogbelt. Herlinda met Pedro when they were at an event at Anchor Brewing, where Pedro used to work. He was working there and had access to Fritz Maytag's extensive library of books about brewing. She saw him reading a book that was about brewing at that event, so she asked him about it. The owner of Chobani yogurt has purchased Anchor Brewing and its assets, so there are good propects for a return of Anchor Steam and Liberty Ale. There were several other “bird beers” that Mendocino Brewing made. Fogbelt has started with Red Tail Ale but they also plan to bring the others back. These include Eye of the Hawk, Talon, White Hawk, Black Hawk, Blue Heron and Peregrine. Right now, Red Tail Ale is available at the big local retailers, such as Oliver's, Tip Top, Wilibees, Bottle Barn and others. Fogbelt has the distribution rights so they are in charge of that. Cascade and Cluster hops, caramel malt for the amber red hue and the taste as well. Herlinda judges it “delicious.”
In Episode 14 of Matt Likes Beer, Matt digs into a rare local gem: 1915 California Common from Ivanhoe Park Brewing. As one of the few beers from this Orlando-based brewery to make it into the series, Matt shares why this one stood out enough to earn a full feature—and it all comes down to style, nostalgia, and flavor. A longtime fan of the underappreciated California Common style, Matt traces its American roots back to the iconic Anchor Steam and shares how this Ivanhoe Park version rekindled that same love. He reminisces about discovering Anchor Steam on tap at Disney Springs and even recounts a homebrewing misfire where he tragically dumped what turned out to be perfectly carbonated bottles too soon. In this episode: A BJCP-style evaluation of 1915 California Common, scoring a strong 44 out of 50, landing it in Matt's top 3 beers on the show so far. Discussion of the style's history and why it deserves more love from craft brewers and beer drinkers. A few rants about brewery websites, can labeling, and fond memories of Ivanhoe's long-gone Valentine's Day beer-and-donut pairings. Hilarious one-star reviews of Anchor Steam, including some bizarre metaphors, backhanded compliments, and one classic "I hate to be like this" disclaimer Matt just had to call out. Listen now on Neozaz.com, BigMonsterBrewing.com, or your favorite podcast app. If you're a fan of old-school American styles or looking for a sleeper hit from a local brewery, this is an episode you'll want to tap into!

The Bums are back in the rail yard with S4:E0102, and the people rejoiced; things heat up on the front half with an NFL review/preview — playoff edition; NFL commush Roger Baddell takes another step backwards with a bid to scoop up troubled media firm, ESPN; Jim Irsay is this close to being found dead on the road side; Rocky bemoans a marriage between Kliff Kingsbury and “Me Guy” Caleb Williams in Chicago; college footballer Cam McCormick may very well earn himself a pension; while Chicago MLB baseball fans are running out of sharp sticks to poke the Cubs and Sox into doing something (anything) in the off season; the rumor mill suggest the Pale Hose could move the circus to Clark and Roosevelt (to what end); MLB Hall of Famers do their bidding — featuring Joe Mauer and Adrián Beltré as hopefuls; and close with the owner of the NY Knicks and Rangers (and the new “Sphere” in Sin City) joins the likes of Harry Weinstein as a criminally ill butthole.The second half ushers in another majestic beer review with a production from Temperance Brewing — “Escapist” (6.7% ABV), an IPA with a nice nose, but a lot of oils on the finish (long, lingering tongue); Chicago is hit between the eyes with an arctic wave - no bien; Eddie's youngest takes Dublin, Ireland by storm; it turns out that electric cars need anti-freeze after all; Paddy drops a rant focused on people who are speed challenged; and close as the Bums lament venture capitalism, and bust ups of Sports Illustrated and Anchor Steam brewing. Get it while it's hot, well, at least lukewarm.Recorded on January 19th, 2024 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle's Nest' in Chicago, IL USA.
This summer has truly turned out to be a hot labor summer, with a number of high-profile labor actions stretching across industries and across the country, from the streets of Hollywood to the shop floors at UPS — things are heating up. With that said, there is a story that hasn't hit headlines in the same way as some of these other actions and confrontations. And that's the story of Anchor Brewery in San Francisco. You might have seen their Anchor Steam beer in the beer aisle before, or heard about their unionization campaign that took place in 2019 after this locally beloved brewery was bought by a giant beer conglomerate, Sapporo. That unionization campaign was successful, but recently, Sapporo abruptly, and controversially, closed Anchor Brewing down. Now, some of the workers at Anchor who don't want to see this centuries-old institution stripped for parts, want to turn the brewery into a worker-owned cooperative. This is really a sort of David and Goliath story, and to tell it, we've brought on Pedro Mancilla, who led the Anchor Brewery tour program, is a member of the ILWU Local 6 Warehouse Union, and is part of the team working on the cooperativization campaign. Pedro has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of beer and beer history, and he begins by giving us a sort of virtual tour of the San Francisco brewery's history and also a bit of San Francisco labor history. He then talks about the union, the struggles with Sapporo, the effort to convert Anchor into a worker cooperative, and also, how local Bay Area beer producers and enjoyers are coming together in an act of true solidarity to stand behind the workers that have been the backbone of this historic brewery.

This week we talk about some recent beer news, trends and answer some listener mail!
You know that giant bin at Best Buy that carries all those DVDs? Think of this latest episode of the Happy Half Hour podcast like that bin. There's a little bit of everything. So, prepare for a lesson on machaca and Vietnam trivia. After finally being removed by Petco Park security, hosts Troy and David are back at the SDM office catching listeners up on all the food happenings around America's Finest City. The duo discuss the splashiest move yet from Consortium Holdings, the re-opening of the storied Lafayette Hotel on Monday, complete with bowling lanes, an even sexier pool, and Instagram-worthy restrooms. Zebra-prints, chandeliers, fringe, velvets, gaudy trinkets, reds, blues, greens—the new $31M hotel is straight out of a Moulin Rouge set. In food news, after starting out as a farmers market vendor, Smokin' J's has opened another location in the Gaslamp Quarter. Similar to their Poway location, the joint is providing customers with brisket, pulled pork, chicken, St. Louis ribs and enough TVs to satisfy Troy and David. Now that Michelin is finally paying attention to San Diego (thank you, Addison), North Park's Mabel's Gone Fishing received a Bib Gourmand and Troy shows his psychic abilities by predicting another star coming to town soon. (Days later, we learned of Valle being awarded its first Michelin star.) Saigon Coffee has opened their first brick-and-mortar in North Park, and just like Smokin' J's, it started as a farmers market vendor. Vietnamese coffee traditionally takes a long time to make, but Saigon uses special filters to speed up the process. “It's so damn delicious,” Troy says. Brine Box also recently opened in Oceanside as a little stand on the pier dedicated to great British food and zero-waste. And it's not all fried fare: shoutout to the seared albacore and Korean barbecue prawns. Other openings include SoiPB from Khwanta Osanai and Truffle in North Park. With a name like that, David says you can even expect the fungi to come shaved on ice cream. Finally, Phil Esteban has opened another White Rice, this time in Linda Vista. David and Troy end by discussing the closing of Sapporo's Anchor Steam in San Francisco. It feels a little too close to home now that Sapporo acquired Stone Brewing Co. Finally, in “Two People, Fifty Bucks,” David recommends the wings at The Regal Beagle. “Their blue cheese dressing was very obviously homemade,” he says. Troy praises National City's Mujer Divina and their excellent machaca. Stay tuned for next week's episode of Happy Half Hour and keep up with David and Troy by following them on Instagram. David can be followed @davidelimartin. Troy can be followed @heytroyjohnson.

The Bums return from summer vacation unhurt and ready to rock-n-roll with S3:E0086 — AND welcome another special guest, Kenny (who is without question the youngest looking retiree we've put eyes on); Part One starts with a somber reminder that absolutely fucking nothing is sacred, as Pat “Fitzy” Fitzgerald shits where he eats alongside baseball HC, Jim Foster (and it doesn't taste good for Northwestern University fans, especially Rocky) — the Wildcats athletic department ‘shit show' is chronicled as Evanston is on suicide watch; talk turns to MLB with some chatter around the All Star game and its adjacent circus acts; Wrigley Field has a crack at the 2025 ASG festivities (Kenny is making us all go if it happens); the Cincy Reds are on a terror, led by a parade of rookies; Elly-lectric De La Cruz lights up the MLB like a Clark Griswold Christmas tree; the NHL is squinting to see the light of morality and equality -- favoring serial xenophobes in Russia over America, and it's not a good look; Lonzo is Donezo in the NBAzo, as the Bulls successfully navigate insurance waters; the first half ends with discussion around the delusional mind of Huggy Bear Huggins — who simply refuses to hang up his alcohol drenched, hillbilly clipboard.The back half rolls in with a special booze review edition, as Kenny treats the Bums to a special brand of tequila, with a Reposado creation from Black-owned brand, ‘Jon Basil', a premium blend of Highland and Lowland agave, which is double distilled then rested for nine months — the outcome is impressively awesome with vanilla tones with zero burn — Jon Basil's project is 100% Bums approved and certified; the Bums bid adieu, farewell and anchors away to the oldest craft brewery, Anchor Steam (effectively run to ground by it's parent company, Sapporo); the Bums review their recent roadtrip to the Wolverine state, fueled by fun, sun, booze, cigars and euchre; Eddie may or may not have run over a rat (the forensic report is pending); Kenny and the Bums bemoan the anger of Mother Nature, who is getting a little shitty with us lately.

For most of the 20th century, if you wanted to point to an actual American style of beer, you had to face San Francisco. Steam beer, a frontier concoction brewed fast for thirsty gold miners, became a signature of the city. Many breweries made it in the latter half of the 19th century, but they all died out, save one: the Anchor Brewery, which was rescued from bankruptcy in 1965 and helped jump-start craft brewing in America.
Craft beer has a long history in California with breweries such as Anchor Steam that started in San Francisco in the mid-1800s and still brews there today. But lately, the industry has exploded. In the past decade the number of craft breweries in California has tripled to 1,100 – and growing. It's a competitive landscape out there for small, independent beer makers. We'll talk about what is driving the growth of craft beer in California, why IPAs still dominate beer lists and hear your picks for your favorite local brews. Guests: Barry Braden, co-founder and owner, Fieldwork Brewing Eric Ortega, craft beer specialist and taproom coordinator, Almanac Beer Company Herlinda Heras, artisan beverage expert and co-host of Brew HaHa, a craft beer show, KSRO in Sonoma
Anchor (https://anchorbrewing.com) Brewmaster Tom Riley has been working on steam beer for a long time—38 years, in fact. He started at Anchor in 1984, decades before craft beer was considered a viable career choice, and has watched the entire industry grow up alongside Anchor. He's a company man, and in 38 years of brewing, this is the only place he's brewed. Assistant Brewmaster Dane Volek started at Anchor 14 years ago and, like Riley, has only worked at Anchor. He leads the R&D side of the brewery now, making beers on the smaller brewhouse across the street from the production brewery at Anchor Public Taps, but he shares a similar love of the company and their unique brewing culture. There's a pride in craft, in the workmanship, and a genuine love of the brewery's history and sense of place. The beer they focus on, of course, is the ubiquitous Anchor Steam—brewed with pitched lager yeast, but fermented relatively warm in shallow open top fermenters in a temperature-controlled room but without temperature control in the vessels. It echoes the 1800's approach to steam beer, but with a focus on sanitation and consistency that those earlier brewers could only dream of. Today, the brewery on the corner of De Haro and Mariposa Streets in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco looks much like it did when Fritz Maytag was actively running the business, strategic production upgrades notwithstanding. And while the neighborhood around it has changed measurably over the past 50 years, the brewery's flagship beers have not. Some things ought to change, and some things should not. In this episode, Riley and Volek talk about style, history, and process for the flagship beers that Anchor focuses on—Steam, Porter, and Liberty Ale. Along the way, they discuss: the historical significance of Steam mechanics of open fermentation employing house yeast across a range of styles and ABVs fermenting with the same yeast under head pressure brewing blended batches with open and closed fermentation the value and importance of the story behind the beer And more.

When Fritz Maytag purchased a struggling brewery in San Francisco in the 1960s called Anchor Steam, he wasn't planning on revolutionizing the way that Americans think about and drink beer, but that's exactly what he did. In this episode Fritz Maytag joins Mike and Bret to talk about how and why that happened. Fritz also talks about how the 1960s happened in San Francisco in the 1960s.

Chris gets called “dope” at work, as a compliment. Nick feels his age while playing video games. John explains how heavy metal is his form of self-care and goes on a macro-beer rant. Nick gets an on-air proposal. Chris loves structures' peanut butter bourbon barrel stout. Nick's “whatcha drinking” beer comes with a twist. It's National dog day, so the guys tell the stories of Beignet, Lola, Chuy, and Bagwell. The style of the week is steam beer or California common and we taste the archetype of the style, Anchor Steam beer. As always we talk about interesting beers from the last week, some good stories, and at least one dad joke. Thank y'all so much for listening.
July 4, 1776. America is born. There are high fives all around. Samuel Adams breaks out his homebrew to celebrate. Life is good. This week we take a look at some classic American craft beers. American craft is fairly young in the grand scheme of things. Where many European countries have hundreds of years of tradition, we've got 40ish years - with maybe a couple of exceptions. A little thing called Prohibition threw us off for a while but when we got back in the game, we went all out. Anchor Steam hit the scene in 1971, Sierra Nevada in 1980, Sam Adams in 1984. The 90s gave us bold beers from Dogfish Head and saw the brewpub boom where you could always find a Blonde Ale, a Pale Ale a Porter, and in Irish Red. There were 90 craft breweries in American in 1978 and today there are over 8,800. Our crafty pioneers brought hoppy beers that not everyone took a shine to. Many people that were used to their American lagers thought the beers were flawed. But the brewers pushed on and the people developed a taste for hops and bitterness in their beers. This led to the IBU Wars with 1,000 IBU beers, the soft NEIPAs, and the fruited glitter milkshake DDH I-can't-even-taste-beer beers we have today. What a ride. To celebrate this journey we sat down with our friend (and show sponsor!) Adam Silverberg from The Nest Kennesaw. We talk some about the beers that introduced us to craft, dive into the history of these classic brews, and discuss some of the trendy phases we've seen. Whatever you choose to pack your cooler with this 4th of July there's no shortage of amazing American beer to celebrate with. I'll drink to that.

On episode #23 of The Brewsday Podcast the group celebrates National Repeal Day, commemorating the repeal of Prohibition, by drinking an Anchor Steam and talking about Prohibition. We discuss some light history and facts before talking about how we'd each run a speakeasy during Prohibition, and how we'll be celebrating this year. After our Unique Beer of the Week, this week's Big Board is the Swedish professional sport of Bandy. The Lightning Round forces the group to decide a Chug/Sip/Pour of beers with very unique ingredients, and then we wrap up with a Good, Bad, or Ugly of the week.
This week's guest on Spirits of Whisk(e)y is Bruce Joseph, Master Distiller at Hotaling & Co., a pioneer of American craft distilling. The San Francisco distillery, founded by the legendary Fritz Maytag and formerly known as Anchor Distilling, before the 2017 purchase of its brewing operations by Japan's Sapporo Breweries, released its first small-batch spirits in 1996, long before craft distilling became the nationwide, and now global, phenomenon it is today. Listen and learn how Bruce, who in 2020 celebrates his 40th anniversary with the company, rose from bottling Anchor Steam as a means of zeroing out his beer budget to distilling some of America's most highly regarded whiskeys and gins, including his signature Old Potrero Rye and Junipero Gin, and his latest projects, Hirsch Bourbon and J.H. Cutter blended American whiskey. Plus hear Chef Louise Leonard's suggestions for pairing Old Potrero Rye with steamed Dungeness crab.

Cheers and holiday beers, tap heads! We are honored to be joined by Scott Ungermann, brewmaster (and extremely cool guy) at Anchor Brewing in San Francisco, CA. I think by now, everyone in the craft world has heard of, and probably had their hands on, Anchor Steam or our favorite, Anchor's Christmas Ale.We talk to Scott about his history as a beer drinker and beer maker, cutting his teeth with Budweiser, producing such vast quantities of beer, transitioning into his role at Anchor Brewing, what excites him about the craft beer world, and even talk a little about some complaint-mail he's received. Scott also talks all about Anchor's history, their various owners and iterations, Fritz Maytag saving the brewery from ruin, and what exactly a Steam Beer is. We also hit Scott with a round of Rapid Fire questions. And if you haven't heard, Anchor has a unique taproom in San Francisco where they put all their experimental beers on tap. In addition to learning about Scott and Anchor, he leads everyone on a guided tasting of the freshly released 2019 Anchor Christmas Ale, a dark, complex, and spicy brown ale. A huge thank you to Scott Ungermann for sharing his time and some of his great beer. 2019's edition of Christmas Ale is a great one.

In episode one hundred of movies imo, Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about three movies they'd wished they'd had the chance to discuss on the podcast: Ben offers up Lars von Trier's devastating death penalty musical DANCER IN THE DARK, Brandon brings Steven Spielberg's bleak dystopian fantasia AI: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE to the table, and Daniel serves to the group Alan J. Pakula's paranoid thriller/podcast outro feature KLUTE. On this final episode of the podcast, they also list their ten individual favorite new-to-me films discussed while on the mic. Ben makes the case for Jane Fonda as one of the ten best Best Actress winners in Academy history, Daniel celebrates the seemingly askew coverage of Björk's dance numbers, and Brandon debuts (and edits) his Spielberg ranking live on the air. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for listening - and we looking forward to meeting you all at 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Bruxelles for an ice cold Anchor Steam!

Brewmaster Scott Ungermann discusses Anchor's storied history and the part he's been playing in it, including getting the brewery back into the IPA game. He also has some great tips for using Anchor Steam when preparing salmon and has an awesome recipe for a beer-based basting come Thanksgiving. Three guesses which beer he suggests for that meal.
Existing for centuries, the traditionally sour and salty style of beer from the Goslar region in Germany has recently started making a huge impact in the beer world. A Gose gives a savoury edge to your biting sours and can give a depth of flavour that quick kettle sours can lack, and pairs excellently with a vast array of different fruit flavours.As part of a new partnership with our favourite homebrew supplier The Malt Miller you can find the recipe and buy the ingredients needed to make this beer yourself by following this linkAs usual, we brew one ourselves, talk about the style and our recipe, before trying out these commercial examples:Double-Barrelled - Red Jungle FowlLeft Handed Giant - Parts UnknownWild Beer Co - Sleeping LimesWe also managed to find a bottle of Anchor Steam that we somehow managed to miss on our "Steam Beer" episode.

Pete Foppiano is sitting in for Steve Jaxon this week, with Mark Carpenter and Herlinda Heras. Brad Calkins is here, from Visit Santa Rosa. He is the executive director, or "chief eating and drinking officer." They are doing a Beer Passport in February as part of their FeBREWary celebration. The breweries, Moonlight, Plow, Cooperage and Fog Belt will be running a shuttle, picking up people at the Smart Train and then taking them around the breweries. This is their third year of the Beer Passport promotion. Brad has brought a commemorative medal that people can earn by visiting 9 of the 12 breweries on the list. They are all Santa Rosa breweries. The Passport looks like a map and can be stamped at any of the participating breweries. There is a welcome center in Railroad Square. This is a tie-in with SF Beer Week, which Visit Santa Rosa also sponsors. Then, Santa Rosa Beer Passport runs for the rest of February. Pete Foppiano talks about how the president's government shutdown has affected the brewing industry. The breweries can't get the TTB to approve their labels. Mark explains that if you want to sell beer across state lines, you need to comply with federal law (but not if you are making and selling only inside your state). The lack of government operations means that the summer brews will be delayed. SF Beer Week has something like 1000 events going on. Santa Rosa brewers are adding events to SF Beer Week. The first two weeks of February will also see the release of Pliny the Elder at Russian River Brewing Co. They get a visit from Seismic Brewing with a growler of their American Robust Porter. Bittersweet cocoa and toasty coffee flavors abound. Mark Carpenter says that oysters are the classic pairing with this beer. You can get your Beer Passport at any of the participating breweries and at their Santa Rosa Welcome Center. Mark mentions that he had an excellent beer called Drake's 1500, at Nick's Cove. Herlinda also mentions Flagship February, a celebration of the breweries that started it all, like Anchor Steam and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Steve Doty from Shady Oak Barrel House is our main guest today on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Mark Carpenter. Their website proclaims “Sour and Wild Artisinal Ales.” Bob Brewer, the former Anchor Brewing sales guy, is also in. Mark has known Bob for a long time, even before he worked at the brewery. Mark tells about how at Anchor, they were having trouble selling beer in New York. Fritz asked him and Bob to go to New York City and went from bar to bar making relationships. He says it is a huge accident that with a name like Brewer, he got into the beer business. Once when he worked for the Renaissance Faire, they asked him to put the beer concession booths together. He learned a lot about beer and met Fritz Maytag, who was personally delivering Anchor Steam beer. This was his transition into beer, when a beer distributor he had worked with offered him a job. Later, Mark offered Bob a job at Anchor. Bob was good at solving problems with the draft systems in bars, where they were serving Anchor beers. Mark thinks that the level of carbonation is lower now, which makes the beer easier to pour from the draft system. He also heard a brewer at the old Olympia brewery say that you could hide a lot of defects with extra carbonation. They are tasting some cans of Anchor Steam. The big cans are a new addition. They hold 19.2 fluid ounces. Mark says that the bars in New York at the time were stuck in their ways and they didn't want to charge more for better beer, but Mark got them to do it. After the break, Steve introduces Steve Doty from Shady Oak Barrel House. He just opened his taproom on 420 First Street. Steve asks him how he came to be a beer guy. He was a lab tech in the wine business but he doesn't drink wine. He found that craft beer was all about choices, which he says is ironic with the popularity of IPA. He makes sour beer, besides his IPA. All his beer is artisinal. He was named best new brewery in California in 2015 (or maybe 2016). Now his business is growing. They are tasting an IPA from Shady Oak Barrel House that Steve really likes. Steve asks why Anchor Steam beer is so popular. Bob says it's because it's so well made. He tells how Fritz Maytag introduced product consistency and hospital-level cleanliness, that make a unique high quality product. The term Steam for beer was a nickname given to the beer when early California brewers were making lager beer, but they didn't have refrigeration. So it went to the bars highly carbonated and it produced a lot of foam. Someone noticed and compared the airy beer to tapping a tank of steam. As they pour some Apricot Sour, Steve Doty describes why it didn't make sense for him to have an actual brew house. So he contracts with other brewers. He works a lot with Hen House. Mark explains that he buys the first stage of production from the brewer, they make it up to where he adds his flavors and blends. Most of his barrels are used French oak wine barrels. But he also has some gin barrels and port barrels. They all add their own flavors. Bob is a fan of sour beers, which used to be only produced in Belgium. They were hard to find until some locals started making them. Even if he likes sour beers, not all of them are good, some are not sour enough. The first domestically produced sour beer that he ever tasted was from Russian River Brewing Co. Many brewers are redefining the style, says Steve Doty. They taste an apricot-flavored sour beer that Herlinda Heras says tastes like a good Turkish dried apricot. Herlinda asks how they add fruit. For example, he gets grapes from Sonoma County and tries to use whole fruit. The beer has to be done and ready to go, but only then can have fruit added. He adds about 2 pounds of fruit for a gallon of beer. The fruit makes a new fermentation, and adds the flavor from the skins, pits, etc. Steve asks Bob to describe the Dickens Fair, which runs from Nov. 17 through Dec. 23 at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.

Scott Ungermann the Brewmaster for Anchor Brewing in San Francisco joins Jimmy on Beer Sessions this week. Jen Maslank from Spring Lounge, Kirk Struble of 4th Ave Pub, and Bobby Gagnon from The Gate also take a seat around the table. A sequence of tastings from Anchor Brewing commences with the Anchor Steam, followed by Anchor’s 2018 Christmas Ale, and then the Fog Breaker IPA. At a moment when new and local beers garner the most attention, these beer veterans get to the heart of what Anchor brings to the table. Times are changing though and Anchor plans to keep up. After 122 years in business, Anchor made a major change last year by launching a bar and a pilot brewery. Ungermann promises that Anchor will preserve the traditional beers everyone loves, but with the option to brew on a smaller scale we can expect exciting new innovations as well.

Welcome to another episode of Conversation on Tap! In this week's episode, Joel and Jose are joined by their good friend Andy to discuss comedy. But, first, they opened up some delicous Anchor Steam beer, which Andy was kind enough to bring for us. For the FRED Talk, Joel and Andy talked a little bit about being "preacher's kids," as well as the particulars of their fathers' respective denominations: Lutheranism and Church of Christ/Methodist. Jose, on the other hand, took a break from his series on the pope to address the recent uncovering of decades of child sex abuse in the Church, the overwhelming number of which took place before the 2002 Dallas Charter written in the wake of the Spotlight reporting. Once the trio started discussing comedy, they covered the history of comedy, the rise of confessional or autobiographical comedy, and the controversial comedians were also mentioned. The issue of whether it is possible to separate the person from their comedy also came up, especially for comedians like Bill Cosby or Louis CK. The question that they keep returning to is whether or not there is a line that the PC police should stand guard of. This segment ended with a look forward to women and minorities in comedy, as well as the prevalence of comedy specials on Netflix. In the final segment of the show, Joel talked about the pop/punk band entitled Joyce Manor. Andy also shared a little about Aki Kumar, who plays blues harmonica with a Bollywood flavor. Jose discussed the Brave New Films documentary entitled Healing Trauma: Beyond Gangs and Prison. This episode took a little long to edit-- Joel and I are back to work again, but we will do our best to be more regular with our episodes! We will see you next week! Cheers!
Tony Magee, the founder of Lagunitas Brewing Company visited Brew Ha Ha back on Nov. 14, 2014 for on-air interview with Steve Jaxon. Steve is in the studio with Joe Tucker, who was his co-host on the show at the time. Steve began by asking Tony Magee to tell the story of how he got started in the brewing business. Tony Magee began, “It was Christmas 1992 and my little brother got me a home brewing kit for a Christmas present, and I brewed it in January, drank it in February. It was a California Common Beer, an Anchor Steam sort of variety, drank it in February and was immediately smitten. I had never even considered brewing before that.” Steve asked Tony Magee if he had been a beer drinker before that. “Only at Marin Brewing Company. That was my singular connection to beer. Out there in the world I would pick up Red Tail Ales at the liquor store, they were essential to everything. So I brewed that batch in February and I said that’s it, I’m in, and by December I had the brewery open. ...a week later I went and got another batch from Great Fermentations that used to be there in San Rafael, and brewed it, but it wasn’t even done fermenting before I just wanted to try another batch. And so the next thing you know I had five batches going and all of a sudden you’re bottling and you’ve got more beer than you know what to do with in the house and you start trying to give it away. And so I did and after a little bit, people were liking it and so I thought, well how do I go about selling this? And what I was doing before this was a little bit less than satisfying, so I wanted to get away from it.” Knowing that the story went a long way farther after that point, Steve asked how that step from home to Lagunitas was made. “Well, it was the kitchen, … and then I burned up a stove, and moved out to the deck, then I thought I’d get a license to do it out here on the deck, and I’ll sell these kegs one five gallon keg at a time. I filled out all the paperwork for the ABC to get a license, and only then talked to the County and the County said, “Uh, we’re never going to let you have a commercial brewery in your house. Are you kidding me?” And so I quickly, I didn’t want to redo all the paperwork, and all the paperwork said “Lagunitas” on it and so I was like, all right, I’m keeping the name, cuz I like the name…” And from that point, “This is Game On. This is no longer going to be just a cabinet shop making one piece of furniture at a time, you know? Now, it’s got to be something else, and that sort of kicked me over the edge, that little nudge over that cliff, so bigger space, we need to sell more beer, that means I’ve got to hire another guy, which means I’ve got to sell more beer, which means I’ve got to hire more guys, which means you’ve got to sell more beer, and you’re off to the races! I describe it in the book as being chased down the street by a pack of wild dogs. You don’t slow down or look behind you because if you stop, they catch you." Steve noted, “...the book is available everywhere, it’s unbelievable, you must check it out, it’s the whole story of Lagunitas, written by the founder, Tony Magee. Tony Magee continued with the Lagunitas story. “We began bottling in 1995 which was kind of the beginning of the bubble for Craft, that lasted about 5 or 6 years into 2001, before really, there were too many breweries. There were too many breweries making poor beer. There were too many breweries trying to grow too fast. There was too much easy money in the industry. Just like the dot com bubble, the same thing happened to Craft. And so that’s what we were born into. Because that’s what we were born into, we had to become very good students of what beer lovers wanted to drink. Because what they had in front of them apparently wasn’t what they wanted. So we had to find new flavors, and we did.” Joe Tucker asked, "You just mentioned the flavors that are important to the brewery.

There is far more to startups in Japan than SaaS software and IoT hardware companies. Biotech startups are beginning to make a mark here. Today we sit down and talk with biotech pioneer Mitsuru Izumo and talk about his ground-breaking work at Euglena. In many ways, the team at Euglena succeeded where even NASA failed. They have developed a process to cultivate this microorganism, also called Euglena, affordably and at industrial scale. And Mitsuru and his team use using Euglena to create everything from inexpensive nutritional supplements to biological jet-fuel. Mitsuru tells an amazing story of how he took his startup from inspiration to proof of concept, to IPO, and how the real innovation is just getting started. I think you’ll really enjoy this one Show Notes Why the same organism can produce both food and fuel Why Euglena has been impossible to cultivate at industrial scale The world does not have a hunger problem; it has a nutrition problem How to move forward when no one believes in your vision How small companies can get to scale in Japan Why Japanese startups must IPO sooner than those in the West Why NASA gave up on Euglena, and why they were wrong Links from the Founder Learn about Euglena, the company Learn about the Euglena, the organism Follow Euglena on Facebook [shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="7994466"] Leave a comment Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan. Straight talk from Japan’s most successful entrepreneurs. I’m Tim Romero, and thanks for joining me. Today, we’re going to talk about slime. Well, actually no, not slime exactly we’ll be talking about algae. Well, actually, the biology nerds out there and I think it’s awesome if you are one, will point out that technically, we aren’t actually talking about algae but a unique organism called euglena, that has both animal and plant characteristics. And we’ll also be talking about a unique company, also called Euglena, that is cultivating this organism at scale and turning it into everything from nutritional supplements to jet fuel. In fact, in this episode, we drink our opening toast not with our usual Anchor Steam beer but with a glass of euglena. Now, I know what some of you are thinking and yes, university research labs and crowdfunding sites are packed with companies claiming that their pet organism is the key to solving a wide variety of mankind’s problems. But Euglena is not operating in a lab but commercially and at massive scale. And today, we sit down with the founder and CEO, Mitsuru Izumo, who explains how he overcame initial market skepticism to get financial backing. How he was able to achieve what NASA could not. And how and why he decided to take his company public. But you know, Mitsuru tells that story much better than I can. So let’s hear from our sponsor and get right to the interview. [pro_ad_display_adzone id="1411" info_text="Sponsored by" font_color="grey" ] [Interview] Tim: Cheers. Mitsuru: Yes. For starting. Cheers. Tim: That’s pretty good. So, I’m sitting here with Mitsuru Izumo, the founder of Euglena. Thanks for sitting down with us today. Mitsuru: Thank you for coming today. Tim: I think most of our listeners are not familiar with Euglena, either the company or the organism. First, what is the organism? Mitsuru: Euglena is a kind of tiny microorganism. You can’t see it directly. You have to see through microscope because the length is only 0.1 mm. Tim: So that’s about the diameter of human hair? Mitsuru: Yes. Exactly. Very similar to the human hair. Little bit smaller than the hair. Euglena is green colored microorganisms and euglena have a lot of chlorophyll. Euglena can do photosynthesis by capturing carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and carbohydrate. Tim: Euglena, it’s a single cell organism. Is it a type of algae or is it its own unique type of organism? Mitsuru: It’s difficult to answer.

What we think of today as the boom in craft distilling started 20 years ago this year, when San Francisco brewer Fritz Maytag bottled the first batch of Old Potrero Single Malt Straight Rye Whiskey at Anchor Brewing in the city's Potrero Hill neighborhood. In 1993, Maytag and his staff cobbled together parts to build a distillery inside the brewery, long known for its Anchor Steam beer, and Bruce Joseph was put in charge of running the still. Today, Bruce Joseph is still Anchor's head distiller, and he'll join us for this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the results of this year's International Wine & Spirits Competition are in, with William Grant & Sons taking top honors. Two more estate distilleries are being proposed in Scotland, and while North Dakota is known for its barley...it's never been known for its whiskey...until now. Glen Fargo American Malt Whiskey was unveiled this week in Fargo, and we'll find out how its creator avoided a costly legal battle over the name. We'll also have details on this week's new whiskies, along with a way to count down the days - or drams - until Christmas.
In this episode we have a fireside chat with Gary McMullen, Founder of Muskoka Brewery. Gary discusses the origins of the Muskoka Brewery, some of their early beer adventures, the importance of their branding and some of their latest beer releases.

Vi är framme vid det rekordlånga avsnitt 17. en av okänd anledning magisk siffra som gör att ljudet är fyllt av eko. Alternativt så är förklaringen att trion tänkte byta miljö från en bastuvarm bunker till ett luftigt konferensrum, men ljudet blev lidande och bli inte förvånade om det är värmeböljan i bunkern som är nästa veckas inspelningsplats. Det pratas återigen lite bilar och självklart då om Elon Musk och den nya Tesla-modellen. Är han möjligen ett geni eller bara super-weird? Versionshantering, featurebranches och Git är veckas nördsegment så på med kodarglajorna och pusha för glatta livet! Det diskuteras också kring huvudbryt mellan egna produkter kontra konsultuppdrag. Veckans podcast levereras direkt från bunkern i Stockholm, där vi berättar om livet på den lilla appbyrån. Apple, appar, Content-blockers, Anchor Steam och livet som egenföretagare, det är Appodden i ett nötskal.

Often referred to as Steam Beer (think Anchor Steam) this style has a rich history in the US and when done right, is a crisp and refreshing beer that crosses the line between ale and lager. Tune in and learn tips on how to homebrew one yourself, as well as craft beer examples.

Mary Izett and Chris Cuzme sit down with Joe to learn about his transition from brewing beer to making wine. Learn why Joe started homebrewing after tasting some Anchor Steam brews. Listen in to hear Mary, Chris, and Joe talk about different hop varieties, and how they have affected beer styles over the years. Why did Joe leave the East Coast to start Montebruno and produce pinot noir? Find out on this week’s episode, and make sure to tune in next week for the second installment with Joe Pedicini! This episode has been sponsored by Artisanal Imports. “We decided to brew at home because we were looking for flavors that you couldn’t get here on the East Coast.” [7:25] “There are so many new varieties of hops out there that pack such a punch! A lot of these super high-alpha hops are used for making these IPAs- these hops are fun to use in the brew house because they’re a little less labor intensive.” [13:00] “What makes pinot noir unique is that it tastes of a place.” [23:25] — Joe Pedicini on Fuhmentaboudit!

In this TV Talk Machine podcast, coming in at a sterling, entertainment packed 36 minutes, we get Manny (Benny Evangelista) back "working the knobs." In many ways, we missed Super Producer Sub Justin Beck. You always love what you can not have. But anyway, let's not defer the major announcement: Our Sept. 25 hootenanny at the Cerrito Speakeasy will not be a benefit (because we couldn't get the technology necessary to draw in celebrity phone-in guests), so we've made the executive decision to make the whole thing free. Yes, free. That's 120 spacious seats with tables and couches and leg room where you can order pizza, pints of handcrafted beer and whatnot. "It's our gift back to the listeners," says I. "You'll definitely get what you pay for," replied Question Boy (Chronicle media writer and political blogger Joe Garofoli). In this podcast, I almost fire Question Boy for being lame. The only reason I didn't fire him is that I still couldn't get Vera H-C Chan to come in and be Question Girl. You'd think her bosses at Yahoo would give her a Monday off to get the company a little attention. Don't make me go scouring for Question Girls at Google, because I will. Also, I didn't fire QB because Amber from Canada is still, sadly, in Canada and unable to make it into the podcave. (Also, I forgot to send her our reader questions). So QB got a reprieve. But never mind what's coming up in this aggressively entertaining TVTM podcast, let's not "bury the lede" and forgot what we're all looking forward to on the 25th: 1. Free admission. 2. Couches with tables so you can put your PINT OF BEER and PIZZA down on them. 3. Free swag. 4. And lots of it -- DVD boxed sets, t-shirts, etc. 5. The worrisome thought that as you sip your beer, you might get hit in the gob by a "Heroes" DVD boxed set. 6. A LIVE podcast. Even though we can't get a phone line on the stage of the Cerrito Speakeasy (thus losing our ability to have celebrities call in -- or YOU call in, as a matter of fact), we're still going to do our podcast in front of 120 or so adoring fans. We will take their questions on a live microphone (QB roaming the aisles, etc....actually, we may have one or two Question Girls in attendance as well, and we'll put them to work). That should be fun because the more drunk people get, the more interesting the questions and answers will be. 7. We have decided that even though we can't get wi-fi on stage at the Cerrito Speakeasy, they DO have it out in the lobby, which just happens to be where the bar is. So I'm going to periodically go out there and have a pint of Anchor Steam and "live" blog our event for our International Listeners. 8. We are going to show new fall TV series (and no, not the same ones we previewed at the Sept. 11 KFOG TV Party). 9. We are going to have music. Yes, music. From my iTunes collection and featuring the winner of our "Bars" theme song. We are going to be in shorty robes. And we are going to shake our moneymakers. 10. What, you need a #10? Dude, it's free, we're going to be throwing free DVD boxed sets at your head and you can buy beer and pizza and actually bring it inside the theater? We're doing the podcast right in front of your eyes. We have tended our gardens. We will have Question Girls. We have live microphones. What part of "we're gonna rock your lame ass world" do you not understand? See you there.
