Welcome back to The DC Beer Show, your hop-forward source for all things craft beer in the DMV! This episode finds our dynamic crew—Jake, Mike, Brandy, and Jordan—diving headfirst into the fascinating world of hops and modern brewing with special guest Shana Solarte, Marketing Communications Manager at John I. Haas.Kicking off with the usual “what's in your glass?” roundtable, the hosts compare notes on a fresh selection of IPAs (with more than one nod to Other Half), a Peabody Heights pilsner, and shout-outs to local beer reps. Brandy brings a little Cinco de Mayo energy, complete with margaritas and hopes for more info on her beer can labels!The heart of the show belongs to Shana, who joins from Chicago—but don't worry, her reach into the DC beer scene runs deep. She shares the inside scoop on John I. Haas' partnership with the Michael James Jackson Foundation (MJF), an organization supporting scholarships for brewers and distillers of color. Shana explains the creative process behind MJF's exclusive hop blend, involving sensory panels, blind tastings, and even a bit of Garrett Oliver Jedi mind-trickery. We hear about how the blend gives back—$5 per pound sold goes straight to MJF, supporting the next wave of brewing talent.The episode shifts gears to demystify the buzz around “flowable hop products.” Shana breaks down what they are (think super-concentrated hop flavor minus the leafy waste), the benefits for brewers (better efficiency, more beer to pour), and how products like Incognito are changing the IPA game—especially with Mosaic fans in the house.Throughout the show, Shana's passion for beer education and inclusivity shines. From her Cicerone roots to her time at Dovetail and Omega Yeast, she emphasizes continual learning and translating geeky hop science into language every beer enthusiast can dig.As always, there's plenty of DC Beer community spirit. Brandy highlights upcoming local events: the Maryland Craft Beer Festival in Frederick (shoutout to female and non-binary brewers!), a DC Brau beer share, and a full calendar for beer lovers all summer long. Mike gives a special mention to the Arlington Brew Shop beer of the month, a Czech pale lager brewed by Bluejacket, and Jacob reminds us that beer is for everyone (moms very much included).Grab a hoppy IPA (or your favorite local lager), settle in, and let The DC Beer Show guide you through innovative hop science, the importance of diversity in brewing, and all that's brewing in our vibrant local beer scene.

Per ricordare Papa Francesco, tornato alla Casa del Padre nel primo giorno dell'Ottava di Pasqua, il 21 aprile 2025, questa puntata speciale è interamente dedicata a un aspetto particolare del suo Magistero: le citazioni in lingua latina, la lingua ufficiale della Chiesa. Il latino è infatti una lingua cui Papa Francesco è ricorso molte volte per spiegare il significato più profondo di parole, concetti teologici o filosofici in modo semplice e comprensibile. Il suo stile sempre chiaro e diretto, non poteva non ricorrere alla logica essenziale della lingua di Cicerone. Nel Messaggio in occasione del conferimento del Premio “Pontificie Accademie 2023”, alla Pontificia Academia Latinitatis, Papa Francesco ne ricordava innanzitutto l'importanza: “Il latino - spiegava - è un tesoro di sapere e di pensiero, una chiave per accedere ai testi classici che hanno forgiato il nostro mondo. Rappresenta le radici della civiltà occidentale e, in molti modi, la nostra stessa identità. È una lingua che abbraccia la filosofia, la scienza, l'arte e la politica, dimostrando così il suo valore intrinseco di strumento di riflessione e di dialogo, quanto mai necessario in un mondo frammentato come il nostro". Conducono: Fabius Colagrande & Maria Milvia Morciano Sono citati in questa puntata: Discorso di Papa Francesco ai partecipanti al Giubileo della comunicazione, 25 gennaio 2025 Discorso di Papa Francesco per l'Udienza Giubilare dell'11 gennaio 2025 Catechesi di Papa Francesco all'Udienza generale del 12 ottobre 2022 Messaggio di Papa Francesco ai partecipanti al IV Incontro Annuale di "The Economy Of Francesco", ad Assisi dal 6 all'8 ottobre 2023 Catechesi di Papa Francesco all'Udienza generale del 6 novembre 2024 Discorso di Papa Francesco per la sessione conclusiva dei "Rencontres Méditerranéennes", "Palais du Pharo” (Marsiglia), 23 settembre 2023 Puoi ascoltare tutti i podcast di Radio Vaticana - Vatican News cliccando qui: vaticannews.va/it/podcast.html

All across Britain, in some of the wildest places you can find, is a network of mountain huts - called bothies. But unlike shelters found in the rest of the world, these were never built for walkers. Former schoolhouses, farmsteads, gamekeepers lodges, coastguards lookouts and miners bunkhouses, there are around 100 buildings (across Scotland, England and Wales) left open for walkers and climbers to use - free of charge. For the last 60 years they have been in the care of the Mountain Bothies Association - an organisation who maintain and look after them and are funded by donation and run by volunteers. To celebrate their diamond anniversary, adventurer Phoebe Smith (who wrote the first ever guidebook to bothies 10 years ago) takes her mum friend Ellie to stay in her first one and speaks to the MBA's chair Simon Birch about what changes have occurred over the last 60 years.Also coming up:Octogenarian publisher Hilary Bradt discusses how travel has changed since her first adventures in 1969Travel Hack: How to make friends on the road - safelyTop 10 places to escape the crowds around the worldMeet Katie Wignall, the guide telling the stories of forgotten women in LondonAll the kit you need for wild swimmingNan Shepherd, author of The Living Mountain is our Wander Woman of the Month SPECIAL OFFER: Use code WanderWoman at the checkout on the Cicerone website to get 15% off the Book of the Bothy and all of their guidebooks.Contact Wander Womanwww.Phoebe-Smith.com; @PhoebeRSmith

On this episode of All Things Beer, hosts Mark and Pat take a deep dive into the rich history and bold flavors of barleywine—a style that's as legendary as it is misunderstood. They're joined by Angelo Signorino, brewmaster at Barley's Brewing, and Sandy Hugill, Cicerone, beer judge, and craft beer enthusiast, to explore the origins of this high-gravity ale, its evolution from historic English strong ales to today's craft beer scene, and what makes it such a unique experience for brewers and drinkers alike.

For the past few years, craft beer sales have declined across the US. To figure out why, Jimmy sat down with Kate Bernot, Missoula-based reporter on beer, alcohol, and food, and former director of the North American Guild of Beer Writers; and Zach Mack, food writer and owner of Alphabet City Beer Co. in NYC. The three talk about how craft lost its popularity, their own memories of craft beer, and how to bring it back in style. Read Kate's full article on the decline of draft beer here!

It's become a monthly tradition around here to answer the question:Is this stuff Overrated, Underrated or is it Properly Rated? Where our resident gear expert, Justin Housman, rules FOR ALL TIME on the status of some specific pieces or categories of gear. A ruling that cannot be undone!On this edition, compiled with the help of emails we've received from our G&B listeners, Justin and Colin judge snowshoes, Solo Stove, and the category of stuff that is Made In The USA. And when it comes to this weeks beer pairing, our Gear & Beer certified beer expert (that would be Justin) wanted to pair the perfect winter or holiday beer with today's gear. So Colin went out and found one that he thinks could Stump our Cicerone.Did it work? Was Justin stumped? Are these gear items Over, Under, or Properly Rated?

How many headlamps have you owned that you actually remember? For a super fun and functional piece of outdoor gear, the headlamp has been largely unremarkable... until now!Today on Gear & Beer, Justin and Colin talk all about the voice controlled Coast RL35R headlamp! They discuss their personal experiences with headlamps and emphasize how this particular model stands out not just for its functionality but also for its convenience during outdoor activities. The conversation touches on the practicality of using voice commands to switch the light on and off, making it a game-changer for nighttime adventures. Alongside their gear discussion, the hosts also share their opinions on the importance of branding and naming in the outdoor industry, noting how product names can impact consumer perception. In short: outdoor brands largely need to do a better job naming their stuff!And because you can't have Gear without the Beer, will Colin finally stump the Cicerone with the beer he brought to today's episode?

If you delve into the history of almost any endurance mountain running challenge in the UK you will likely see the name John Fleetwood. Usually flying under the radar solo and unsupported, his website www.longdistancechallenges.blogspot.com reveals a plethora of epic mountain adventures in the wild trackless bounds of Scotland, England and Wales. John first became 'hooked' on endurance runs in the late 90s following his 'first proper run' - the 100km Bob Graham Round. Long before the current boom in ultra running and 'FKTs' he was having intense experiences as he sought to bring dream lines on a map into reality by following them on the ground. More interested in 'first known completions' than speed itself, he has made huge aesthetic loops in wild places. A winter Broxap Round in Glen Shiel over 120km and 61hrs; the Glen Lyon Watershed, a 121km 47hr loop of rough grass, bog and heather; or the Strathfarrar Watershed, 99km over 50hrs in deep snow. We talk in more detail about John's Scottish Haute Route walk, his Lakes 40 Peaks at 40yrs challenge, and his mind bending Winter Rigby Round - a 54hr odyssey around the dark December Cairngorms in 2010. John is also an author of two Cicerone guides to Scrambles in the Lake District. His book Beyond the View is his 'pilgrimage through nature', a hardback photography book interlaced with his personal story and deep connections to these wild places. Seeing 'beyond the view' is about connecting with our surroundings in a deeper way. He has also worked with Big Issue vendors in a project which gave them new access to outdoor experiences. He hopes to set up a charity further expanding this work which aims to heal the disconnect many people (and arguably society as a whole) feels for nature. John is speaking at Kendal Mountain Festival next week (Sunday 24th November 2024)

Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul. I am delighted to welcome this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, Kristen Owens. Kristin's debut novel, Elizabeth Sails (Rising Action Publishing Co/Simon & Schuster), launched two days ago. What can be better than discussing with the author the use of an actual cruise ship, The Queen Elizabeth, as a setting.  Kristin told me, “After living in Europe, my husband and I moved back to the USA on the Queen Mary 2. The voyage was a life-changing experience. Ten years later, I've got my sea legs. Which happen to be a little chunkier because I've taken a fair number of cruises and haven't missed a single meal. And I've finagled a way of sailing more frequently – as a speaker. I entertain and educate passengers on writing, literature, and wine. So, I can't feel too guilty because hey, I'm working, people. I spend about six months on ships and get my best writing done onboard. It's like a quintessential writing retreat. With tea and scones daily at 3:30pm. To date, I've taken over a dozen cruises (300+ days) as a passenger and over a dozen as a speaker.”  Kristen has experience sailing with Princess, Celebrity, Cunard and Viking. Kristin holds a Ph.D. in higher education and is an award-winning faculty member with over 25 years university experience. Now a full-time writer in sticky southwest Florida, Kristin has over 100 bylines as a contributor for celebrated magazines such as Wine Enthusiast, Writer's Digest, and 5280.

Dove c'è avidità c'è ingiustizia, e dove c'è ingiustizia c'è sofferenza.Le teorie politiche ragionano sui grandi scenari: discorsi affascinanti che spesso restano solo parole. C'è poi un pensiero politico che si occupa di quello che ciascun cittadino può fare dal luogo in cui è, agendo innanzitutto sul proprio modo di stare nel mondo con gli altri. Abbiamo bisogno di cittadini e politici che siano consapevoli del valore della politica e agiscano mossi dall'intenzione di dedicare il giusto tempo alla cura della comunità.

In this super candid episode, we chat with  Mandy Naglich, the badass award-winning home beer brewer, super taster, Master Cicerone, and author of the facinating book "How to Taste." Mandy spills the tea (and maybe a few beers) on the fine art of tasting, her thoughts on natural wine and why the R train has its disadvantages. But obviously there's more – we dive headfirst into the ultimate New York debate: are you a real New Yorker if you haven't had sex in a yellow cab? It's a wild, mouth-watering ride! @drinkswithmandy Mentions: @therumhouse @rick_bayless @crownshynyc @abcwineco

This week, we sit down with Ria Neri, the creative force behind the acclaimed Four Letter Word Coffee and a certified Cicerone with an unwavering passion for craft beer, made crystal clear by her founding of Whiner Beer Company. Inspired by the vibrant coffee culture in Istanbul, Ria and her partners opened their first café on Burgaz Island before bringing their vision to Chicago. Ria shares the fascinating origin of the Four Letter Word name, their journey to creating a haven for coffee lovers in Logan Square, and her love for both beer and coffee. We also learn how a simple excuse to travel can turn into a thriving business and get to the bottom of the distinction between gose and gueuze (yes, they're different kinds of beer.) This is an episode you don't want to miss: Ria is a true connoisseur of sensory experiences, and it's clear that she loves to share her passion.

On this episode of The Breakaway, Russell Cicerone discusses his hair in 2024, Republic FC's unbeaten start, how he compares his 1st and 2nd seasons in Sacramento and more.

Sandy Hugill is a Certified Cicerone®, a BJCP Certified beer, cider, and mead judge, she's on the board of her local homebrew club, SODZ, and she's the Sales and Experience Manager at Thunderwing Brewing in Columbus, Ohio. In addition to all that, she also offers guided beer tastings and consulting through her company, The Brewery Log. Sandy recently made a major career change, moving from project management roles in tech to the beer biz. She's a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) – every company in every industry needs strong project managers! Sandy took a very thoughtful approach to her career change, her plan included passing the Certified Cicerone® exam in order to gain beer knowledge and to strengthen her résumé. As a woman entering what has, at least in recent history, been a male dominated industry, Sandy wanted that leg up. She points out that learning about beer (or anything you're super interested in) is fun, so preparing for the Cicerone exams wasn't exactly an unpleasant process! She used both the Cicerone® Program's Road to Cicerone® material and Beer Scholar to help her prepare. In particular, she found the Beer Scholar practice exams to be critical for testing her knowledge and for lowering her exam anxiety when she took the real exam. Sandy reached out to me about coming on the “Meet a Cicerone®” show, noting there hadn't yet been a woman Cicerone® featured on it for the first few episodes. I was very aware of that issue as well and I was stoked to bring Sandy on for a chat! The Meet a Cicerone® podcast is all about sitting down with folks who are “all in on beer” to discuss their beer education journey and their careers. If you're interested in becoming a Certified Beer Server, Certified Cicerone®, or Advanced Cicerone® in the easiest and quickest way possible, reach out to me at chris@thebeerscholar.com or head to www.thebeerscholar.com for more info.

Jesús Mártir is the first "graduate" of the Beer Scholar Advanced Cicerone® Coaching Program! About nine months ago, AC Scott Fielder and I launched our Advanced Cicerone® Coaching Program, the first of its kind, with an initial cohort of ten amazing beer geeks from all over the world and all over the beer industry. Jesús is the first of the bunch to pass the exam and get the title of Advanced Cicerone® on his resume! Huge congrats to Jesús! Jesús is based in Tijuana, Mexico. He's an electromechanical engineer by training and says, "what is brewing if not applied engineering?" He entered the beer industry in 2017 and spent several years brewing for Kaminari Brewing. He thought he was out of the beer game for a period...but a friend at Baja Canning pulled him back in with a great job offer! Jesús is currently the Operations Manager at Baja Canning in Tijuana, where he's managed the packaging of nearly 3 million beers to date! Jesús passed the Certified Cicerone® exam in late 2022 and passed the Advanced Cicerone® exam in early 2024, after going through our AC Coaching Program. Jesús is also a BJCP Certified beer, cider, and mead judge, an American Cider Association Certified Cider Guide, and he's got an Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD) General Certificate in Beer Packaging, Can Specialist. Not only all that...phew, I'm running out of breath over here....Jesús is currently pursuing a Master's in Brewing and Distilling from the Institute of Brewing and Distilling in Scotland! Basically, Jesús is an absolute superstar. He's been traveling all over Central and South American to judge major beer competitions and he's now one of just five Spanish speaking Advanced Cicerones® in the world – though we're expecting to see several more Spanish speaking ACs come out of our coaching program in the next year! Scott & I sat down with Jesús to talk about his experience in the Advanced Cicerone® Coaching Program, his career path, and what fuels his drive for knowledge. If you're thinking about pursuing some certifications in the booze biz, and especially if you're wondering about going for the AC, listen up! The “Meet a Cicerone” podcast is about sitting down with folks who are “all in on beer” to understand why folks do it, how they're applying what they learn, and how it has enabled them to make their own futures and careers. Let's do this. P.S. If you're interested in becoming an Advanced Cicerone in the easiest and most efficient way possible, please reach out to me at chris@thebeerscholar.com or Scott at scott@thebeerscholar.com right away so we can start getting you ready to join the next cohort of the Beer Scholar Advanced Cicerone® Coaching Program!

Today on THE ROCK FIGHT (an outdoor podcast that aims for the head) we are excited to debut a new weekly segment...GEAR & BEER!This is reviewing gear, THE ROCK FIGHT way because largely speaking gear reviews have become pretty boring. There's rarely a 'so what' in these reviews because stuff mostly works. So Colin and Justin are here to throw rocks at the status quo and approach gear reviews the same way we approach most things: Through the types of conversations we have when out riding, skiing, surfing or hanging out at the trailhead...only this time on a podcast.Each week one of us will bring forth a piece of gear: a shoe, some apparel, a suitcase, sleeping bag, kayak, a pot or a pan…whatever, to review and then because we make way too much stuff these days, we'll rank it on the STUFF-O-METER (listen to learn about the STUFF-O-METER).Lastly certified Cicerone (which means certified beer guy) Justin Housman will pair the perfect beverage with the gear and activity we talked about.

Needless to say he knows beer and the local scene. Now, sit back, relax, and raise a pint to Tim for joining on the show! Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!  After you consume the content and the beer, please write a review, follow Buzzed with Brian on social media, and hit that subscribe button.

In my time in and around the beer industry, I've heard too many people underestimate the Cicerone Certification Program, a worldwide standard for recognizing people who are experts in  beer sales and service. While I haven't taken it myself, I understand the rigorous studying that's required to pass the written and tasting exam to become a Certified Cicerone, just the second level of a four-part process to become a Master Cicerone. And even those who take the test seriously aren't guaranteed to pass it the first time. But don't take my word for it, let's hear from an expert. In this episode, Jen Blair, who recently became a Master Cicerone—the highest level of certification and a title just 28 people in the world hold today—shares details from her almost decade-long journey to reach this pinnacle. If you're interested in becoming a Cicerone, this episode is for you. But even if you're not planning to take these tests, you'll learn so much about what it means to explore beer, its history, and all the sensory experiences it can provide. There's a personal side to it all, too, and you'll hear from Jen about the importance of learning from your mistakes, honoring deadlines, and creating realistic schedules.  As a straight-A student, Jen thought she knew how to study for the Cicerone tests, but realized that to pass even the first level exam she had to go beyond memorization and fully master the material. Throughout the episode, Jen shares some of the shifts in mindset she had to make to cross the Master Cicerone finish line, including relearning how to learn and strengthening her weak areas instead of ignoring them, like memorizing commercial styles despite disagreeing with the requirement. Listen in until the end to hear about the inspiration behind her newsletter, get tips on palate training and health, as well as what Jen is focused on now that she's completed her Cicerone journey.

Subscribe to Behind The Pursuit: From Bourbon to Brand We've talked for awhile now that as we've been bringing people in for tastings and experiences at the distillery, and it has been an amazing time to bring people in, that Kenny and Ryan have lead all those experiences. As fun as that is, it isn't scalable to the business for that to always take place and we needed people to be an extension of Kenny and Ryan. People who can speak on their behalf, know the product, and can show folks a great time when they visit.  As a fan suggestion to the podcast, today we are going to meet the new additions to the crew: Joe, Sarah, and Tim. There are so many directions we went with this episode, so don't miss a minute of it.  We hit on: What is everyone's back story?  How did everyone get into the industry?  What led you to bourbon specifically?  What does it look like to go through the University of Louisville's Distilled Spirits program? How does Joe feel about being the most advanced Cicerone in Kentucky?  Is there something about the brand, the guys, or the whiskey that surprised you about Pursuit Spirits?  and much more.
