Podcasts about bierwax

Been a very busy and pretty rough last few weeks. Finally had a moment to catch my breath and put together a short mix. Big shout out to my man James Park in Brooklyn for the invite to spin at Bierwax - couldn't make it happen because of recent circumstances but the records on this mix are from the bag I brought to NYC before plans went sideways. Some favorites and some new stuff, breaks and soul and other flavors. Hope everyone is healthy and safe, and a huge thank you for tuning in to this and any other mix you might stumble upon! Please know that every play and listen is deeply appreciated.

Jokes aside, music and beer culture have always been one of the best duos in the game.Listen in to learn about our guests' musical histories, as well as their perspectives on the intersection of all things beer and music!

In this episode of Beer Travelers, we visit Brooklyn, New York, with its frenetic pace to its quiet neighborhood bars, and all the haze, lager, and sour beers you could ever want. Brooklyn was once one of the world's great brewing centers. Home to nearly 50 breweries in 1900, the borough brewed a ton of beer under brands names like Schaefer, Rheingold, and many others lost to history. But that came to an end by the mid-1970s and the borough's mashtuns went silent for the next 20 years. That was until 1987 when Steve Hindy Tom Potter decided to open up their own brewery in a warehouse district in Williamsburg. Named after the borough it inhabited, Brooklyn Brewery would go on to spread the word of craft beer around the globe and become one of the early pioneers of the resurgent modern American beer scene.It took a while for brewing to catch on again in Brooklyn but slowly others opened, including Kelso and Sixpoint. And then there was the third wave of craft brewers, with names such as Other Half, Threes, and Finback. Today, Brooklyn's beer scene is top notch and the borough's bars and breweries make for an easy and exciting night out. After falling in love with it after my first visit, I trek down to Brooklyn a couple times a year including in December for an annual holiday themed pub and brewery crawl. It remains a favorite place to visit and drink and I look forward to exploring it with two great local experts.Courtney Iseman is a freelance writer who has written engaging pieces for Vinepair, Craft Beer and Brewing, as well as her own newsletter, Hugging the Bar. She's a compelling voice in beer and has written extensively about everything from diversity and inclusion to her favorite local Brooklyn pubs, including about the bar owned by our second guest.Chris Maestro is a DJ, avid record collector, educator, and also the co-owner with his wife of Bierwax, a beer bar with outposts in both Brooklyn and Queens. The Prospect Heights based bar focuses on great beer and music, played analog style from one of Chris's thousands of vinyl records that line the back of the bar. He was in the beer business before opening his own shop and is a Brooklyn native. It's a big borough and there's a lot of ground to cover in this episode. So let's get started with our tour of Brooklyn, New York, with writer Courtney Iseman and publican Chris Maestro.This Episode is Sponsored by:Pub Culture BeercationsStop living vicariously through other people's social media posts and get out and make some memories of your own!

How many of us have dreamed of opening a “third space”—as in, a social space that isn't our home and isn't our workplace—whether it be a collective art studio, a bookstore-slash-gallery, a coffee shop with live music—or perhaps a beer bar with shelves upon shelves of vinyl records? Well, the Maestro family did just that, and they did it well.  In Courtney Iseman's piece titled “Better on Vinyl — BierWax in Brooklyn and Queens, New York,” which was published on Good Beer Hunting on September 21, 2022, she dives deep into BierWax's history, origins, pandemic struggles, and unique place in New York City beer history. She encourages visitors to head to BierWax to discover something new, whether it be beer or music, and leave with a sense of welcoming community that serves to engage and inspire.  In today's conversation about her piece, we'll talk about how Chris and Yahaira Maestro created an extension of their home, how they became living proof of a dream realized, and why there simply aren't more places like their bar out there. We'll also discuss how it is possible to like your job, how Courtney found a new family at BierWax, and the ways in which authenticity and intention can help nurture a warm, inviting space that remains an all-too-rare outlier in the beverage scene. If you've ever nurtured a still-unrealized dream, this is the conversation that may encourage you to finally go for it. This is Courtney Iseman on BierWax.

Chris Maestro, founder and principle owner of BierWax in Brooklyn joins us to talk about the overlap between hip hop and craft beer, the diversity (or lack thereof) in the craft beer industry, the trials and tribulations of owning a small business during COVID, and a bunch of opinions about Nas and The Lost Tapes (2002).

Chris tells Marcel that he built on the concept of BierWax through passion. An honest love of both music and craft beer is what drove the conception of BierWax and is what continues to drive any changes. When he thought of the idea, he realized there was nowhere else around that married both of his passions. There is a careful curation of all aspects of BierWax, and any guest DJs are only allowed to spin vinyl – no digital. Chris has put in a lot of work to cultivate an inclusive and comfortable atmosphere as well as an intimate music venue.Fire And Beere: marcel@fireandbeer.comw: FireandBeer.comIG: @FireandBeerSupport the show (https://cash.app/$marcelgomez81)
