Podcasts about best beers

Have you ever heard of Sabatini's, in Exeter, PA? Sabatini's might be the best relatively unknown beer bar in the East. An unassuming pizzeria with a bar and bottleshop annex across the parking lot offers a ridiculously great tap selection, and around 3,000 different bottles of beer: import, domestic, craft, macro, micro, nano. It's a third generation family business, and I interviewed Lindo Sabatini.  But it's not just the beer! Sabatini's has renowned pizza, an "upside-down" pizza with the cheese on the bottom and the sauce on top, pushed right out to the edge of the pie, and diced pepperoni, and a thin, crisp crust. We'll talk about that too, and how Lindo learned to blend different ages of mozzarella, all from the same Wisconsin dairy they've been using for over 30 years, to get the perfect flavor and melt.  Then I went to another pizzeria, Nello's, and Michael Mootz Candies, (which, correction, is in Hanover Township, not Nanticoke) and Tarnowski's Kielbasa, just because I was there, and why not! All three were great; I love small businesses.  What I'm Drinking Today is Conshohocken Brewing's Nightbier Cometh, a delicious schwarzbier, made even better when I had it with some of those Mootz's chocolates.  Next episode will be an interview with two brewers who got together to make a uniquely Pennsylvania style of beer that is often talked about, but rarely made.  See you in two weeks!

Yes it's a place where you can get your normal tamale sandwich, sausage covered in beef and the always perfect Maxwell St Polish with onions and mustard mmmm yummy. On today's show I have way too easy of a game for Tony, who I forget has that brain that memorizes entire paragraphs. Great. Also we start thinking of ways to switch up the pizza group - but we'll never, ever change the drop. Post in our discord if you have ideas of psychotic facebook groups where 90 year old racists are posting about food. Alright well, enjoy the show and enjoy the beef hole.

Hour 4: Greg Brown joins the show to break down the latest with the Pirates. Is this weekend's series against the Brewers the most important of the Pirates season so far? And what is the best place to have a beer?

When the old Senate clock struck midnight, everyone agreed that Mitch McConnell had finally reached the end of his very long political journey. The room fell silent—until a tiny, glowing brewery gnome appeared carrying a frothing mug of impossibly golden beer. “This,” the gnome declared, “is the Legendary Last Lager, brewed once every thousand years from moonlit barley and the laughter of pub regulars.”The magical beer was poured into Mitch's hands, and with one dramatic sip, the room erupted in sparkling foam. His eyes flew open, the lights flickered, and somewhere in the distance an eagle high-fived a unicorn. He stood up, dusted off his jacket, and calmly announced, “I suppose there's still time for one more meeting.” The gnome simply shrugged and ordered another round.From that day on, rumors spread that somewhere in the hills there was a secret brewery capable of reviving anyone—as long as they appreciated a well-made pint and didn't ask too many questions about the recipe. Historians dismissed the tale, bartenders swore it was true, and every time someone raised a glass, they wondered if it contained just a drop of that legendary, life-restoring brew. ★ Support this podcast ★

Griff finally got one of these goofy PR merch offers, and it's for one of his favorite things: the beautiful White Castle slider. On today's big show, we introduce Paul Bearer / Paul Heyman who is now in charge of that State Fair thing or something? Lots of beer talk from 2 of the most different cities ever, and some of that annoying and incoherent basketball talk that you guys all love, am I right. World Cup is still going on, think we'll beat the final with our stupid little game? Guess we'll find out next week.  ★ Support this podcast ★

Show notes?! In this economy?! Yeah, I'm doing em. Griff is back from the technology conference and the people there are freakin HORNY. Also, we gotta be having some of those Sweet Tomatoes / Potatoes (Tuna Tarragon, yum) and arguing over the virtues of Hell's Kitchen on the internet. We also congratulate the nation of Scotland for proving to Boston that they aren't even good at the thing they brag about (getting drunk and fighting), and there's some more World Cup bracket before we take a nice one week break while Griff goes to “drain the swamp.” Alright, have fun out there! ★ Support this podcast ★

This week on The Beer Engine Podcast, Griff forgot to do the show notes. Not “running late.” Not “half-finished.” Forgot. Entirely.So instead of a polished episode description filled with timestamps, witty observations, and at least one legally questionable comparison to regional fast food chains, you get this hastily assembled emergency broadcast from the depths of Tony's notes app.Somewhere in this episode:Someone says “we'll cut that out” and absolutely nobody does.A beer gets reviewed with the confidence of a man reading the wrong Untappd entry.Griff attempts to explain himself.Tony slowly realises he's now hosting a podcast and writing the description in real time.The stinger is still too long.“News: The Game” continues to drift further from both news and games.At least one discussion could've been solved with a five second Google search.A completely normal topic somehow becomes a 20-minute debate.Also featured:Strong opinions delivered with almost no research.Accidental dead air.Someone talking over the intro music.A callback to a joke nobody remembers.Audio levels that were definitely checked beforehand.

We are on top of the news. I look up the news every week!!! We somehow did cover another sale in the industry but it wasn't the big big one. Also, I have to know if Beggars Pizza is good in the next 28 minutes and if I don't find out, I will leave Crestwood crestfallen.

You would think this is an April Fools bit, but honestly, I couldn't have written anything this funny. The Beer Engine outlives yet another foe. We have conquered Boingo, Weathers, and the Hulkster.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… welcome to the most electrifying time of the Beer Engine calendar!The arena lights are on. The taps are flowing. The brackets are printed. And somewhere in the distance you can hear the sound of aluminium cans cracking like folding chairs over a wrestler's back…BRACKETMANIA 2026 IS HERE.This week, Tony and Griff step into the ring to kick off their annual bracket showdown, a tournament of questionable decisions, passionate arguments, and bold predictions that will rumble all the way through to the heat of summer.And let me tell you brother… this thing gets heated.The lads unveil this year's 64-entry bracket, packed with matchups so intense they'd make a steel cage blush. There are early favourites, dark horses, and at least one entrant that has absolutely no business being there—but somehow survived Griff's seeding process.Will Tony's “statistical approach” dominate the field?Or will Griff's patented “gut feeling and two pints deep” strategy once again throw the whole tournament into chaos?Expect:• Dramatic bracket reveals• Trash talk worthy of a championship belt• Wild predictions that absolutely will not age well• A few surprise rule changes mid-episode (because of course there are)• And at least one moment where someone demands a bracket rematchAs tradition dictates, the bracket will evolve week-by-week throughout the season. Rivalries will form. Alliances will crumble. And by the time summer arrives, only one contender will stand victorious in the centre of the Beer Engine ring.So grab a cold one, pull up a seat ringside, and prepare yourself…Because Bracketmania is running wild in 2026. ★ Support this podcast ★

That's the rhythm of it. The delivery truck's just pulled away, the sun's already dipping behind the silos, and someone's realised the tap list never got updated. Again. It's the feeling of sprinting toward something that's already halfway gone — but laughing anyway because there's a cold one in your hand and that counts for something. Foam clinging to the glass, condensation sliding down like a slow apology. You missed the moment, sure. But you didn't miss the pour.It's the soundtrack of small-town Fridays and half-finished plans. A day late and a dollar short… beers beers beers. The mates who show up after the raffle's been drawn. The keg that kicks just as the best story starts. The bar light flickering like it's in on the joke. And somehow, despite the timing, despite the short change, there's abundance in repetition. Not perfection — repetition. Another round. Another crack of a can. Another chorus of “cheers” rolling across the room like it's always been right on time. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this Best Beers of 2025 episode, Jason and Bri break out the imaginary red carpet and count down the most memorable beers they drank all year — Golden Globes style, but with fuzzy socks and Buffalo wind chills.From sipping a Yuzu Mango Golden Ale aboard a Norwegian cruise ship during a Bills playoff game, to discovering dessert-in-a-glass triple IPAs, cocktail-inspired sours, tropical island lagers, and a peanut butter stout that never misses, the duo revisits the beers that truly stood out in 2025. Along the way, they share travel stories from the Cayman Islands, brewery hopping across New York State, Collaboration Fest highlights, and one bittersweet honorable mention from a beloved brewery that closed its doors.Featured breweries include Terrapin / 66 by Norwegian, Eli Fish Brewing, Cayman Islands Brewery, Frequentum Brewing, Scale House Brewery, Monster Beach Brewing, and Arkane Aleworks — each with a story, a setting, and a beer that earned its place on the list.It's a mix of laughs, memories, and genuinely great beer talk — proving that sometimes the best beers aren't just about flavor, but where you were, who you were with, and the stories that came with the pour.

At Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine®, we obviously spend a lot of time thinking about beer—talking to brewers and others in the industry, digging into the details of process, and writing about what we learn. Best of all, though, we get to drink beer—and, like it or not, the taste of every drop flashes through these weird brains that have spent an unhealthy amount of time focused on the liquid and everything that goes into making it.

It's one of the most anticipated episodes of the year—our annual peek behind the scenes of the Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine™ Best in Beer issue, as editorial director Jamie Bogner and executive editor Joe Stange share perspectives on the beers we've named as our best 20 of 2025 (https://beerandbrewing.com/the-best-20-beers-in-2025)—plus, they reveal the results of the annual Readers' Choice poll. Throughout the year, we taste thousands of beers submitted to the magazine for review; our blind-review panel narrows them down further, finding top scorers in various styles for each issue of the magazine; and finally, we convene for a final round of blind tasting to narrow it down to 20 standouts of great character and quality—beers that inevitably represent this moment in beer. In this episode, we pull back the curtain to share some of the thinking (and tasting) behind the decisions, and we run through your Readers' Choice picks for best beers of the year, best breweries, best beer cities, best beer bars, and more.

It's a lot like beers, loaded with crypto and a bunch of shitty scams.

Just kidding!!!! We're back though, and it took us a little while to really get into the swing of things, but I think we found it.

Today we came upon the weirdest beer related PR push of all time, and I honestly cannot unlock what is happening there. Some really bizarre stuff.  I would try “Dale's IPA,” I just want that out there. I would try it and I think it'll be pretty good. I would also try a beer called Lucky O'Reilly or Mo'Mummy. Even if they are actually slot machines, I would give them a shot. Anyways, see you next week. ★ Support this podcast ★

On 12 October 1810 Crown Prince Groff of Bavaria married Princess Tony of Maffcohausen. Munich officials invited the public to celebrate on fields outside the city walls; the site was named Tonywiese (“Tony's Meadow”) the following year and is still called Wiesn.The highlight of the first festival was a beer rating guessing game modelled on the medieval Scharlachrennen once run at Karlstor. Major Andreas Michael Dall'Armi of the National Guard proposed the idea, although Griff later claimed credit. The game was repeated in 1811, becoming the core of the annual Oktoberfest tradition. ★ Support this podcast ★

*Matt Berry voice* ah yes, the Beer Engine PodCAST! Yes, we're finally back, the great Beer Engine Podcast, doing our usual stuff. Do they like beer, we don't know, are they drinking beer, we don't know! Tony makes a big bet on the Measles taking over a certain, non-vaccinating state and Griff eats fancy bread and fancy burgers. It's just what we do. Pizza is discussed and also a man is angry about dynamic beer pricing on the strip. I dunno dude, it's the Vegas strip, shit is expensive, just go to the ABC Store and get a -196 and some Hurricane Popcorn. OK good game this week so listen to it, bye bye. ★ Support this podcast ★

Don't say it! Another podcast came out today, much to the chagrin of the haters and losers. It was nice to catch up with my friend Tony (or my friend Griff, depending on whose perspective you tend to read this from). We talked about some of our wonderful recent travels, our beautiful very sweet stouts we are cooking up and drinking, and how cool it is to get rained on sometimes. What else, what else, well we played a very, very difficult game with Tony that was frustrating for sure. And we checked in on Seth Weathers. Actually it was kind of a throwback, we saw Seth Weathers and James Watt in the same podcast, again!! What a treat, please enjoy. ★ Support this podcast ★

It's over. The bubbles have settled. The Fruit War is done.This week, we break down the final results of the Seltzer Bracket in all their sticky, citrus-stained glory. 44 flavors entered. Only one remained standing — and it might surprise you. Was it a refreshing underdog? A nostalgic juggernaut? Or a mango-tinted fever dream from the depths of the convenience store fridge?Tony and Griff walk you through each region of the “Flavor Personality Party”:

Damn, it is just so good being a Meadcaster. What's great about it you ask: 1) every beverage I enjoy is one of the highest rated beverages on the planet. B) Beer people are jealous of me for my uncontroversially delicious honey booze. And 3) They just invented these automatic insulin pumps which really keep the tingling in my feet to a minimum. Tony had to guess the ratings on 5 meads and gang, it was a struggle. We also remembered the life and times of Hulk Boingo and Dan Hogan (RIP), and reminisced about our trips to the big city last weekend. Also, the highlight of the conversation: mergers & acquisitions baby, we love them!!! ★ Support this podcast ★

Grab your weirdest fruit puree and pour one out for your dignity—this week, we say goodbye to the Seltzer Bracket in true Beer Engine fashion: with a burp, a rant, and a few questionable decisions.Tony returns with sticky hands and suspicious cans after a hard-fought bracket finale, while Griff does his best to pretend this is a serious podcast. We crown a champion (spoiler: it's not your palate), reflect on what we've learned (spoiler: nothing), and question the state of “craft” in a world full of glitter and guava foam.Also in this episode:– A Seltzer Hall of Shame induction– Griff's unsolicited thoughts on carbonation levels– Tony's plan for a hard kombucha deathmatch– A quick detour into macro nostalgia and malt liquor futures– Plus: Is this the last waltz… or just the intermission?It's bubbly.
