BV65 Executive Chef Scott Redington got into the food business as a suggestion from a family member. He started cooking on the line at a restaurant in his hometown of Salt Lake City. He had a boss tell him once that he wasn't going to make it in this business... Good thing he's stubborn because that's why here in Northwest Arkansas all these years later. He's been up and down the western half of the US, but has been in Bella Vista now for a while as the Executive Chef for the restaurants under the Bella Vista POA, who's newest property is the BBQ restaurant known as BV65.. He's newer to BBQ, but his pitmaster Flavio Valverde isn't, and they've come up with a delicious menu (especially those smoked pork belly tacos). Listen and watch wherever you get your podcasts!

Beer is good. This we know. But beer can also DO good. Act 63 is evidence of that, as Sam Jones & Simon Sheckells are involved in two KC beer events where the proceeds go to organizations that donate to charities. Sam is the curator of the all things KC beer website, Kansas City Beer. She, along with Simon, also run the bike-, walk-, run- and scooter-friendly beer fest — Pint Path. We learn about Sam & Simon's entry into craft beer and why they love the craft community. And as if Sam didn't have enough on her plate, she's bringing back the COVID-delayed home brew beer festival, Spring Fling. Spring Fling was the brain child of Rodney Beagle, the late head brewer of 3Halves Brewing who passed away suddenly in 2021. One of the home brew awards is named after Beagle and part of the proceeds from Spring Fling will go to his kids, also known as the Beagle Pups... and man, was there lots of beer on this show!

Who would have thought that a craft beer brewery would become the official beer of a university? Core Brewing and Distiller Co did and now the University of Arkansas and the community around the university are drinking craft beer. Join Lead Brewer Jamie Conway and Podcast Host Ben from Barley and Me Podcast as we discuss the impact Core Brewing and Distiller Co is having on the craft beer culture in Arkansas.
Host Ben Rice, along with Beer Talk Now!'s D Neal, travels (virtually) to Springdale, Arkansas, to talk to Core Brewing's two brewers, Rodrigo Medina and Jamie Conway. Two brewers may sound totally normal until you hear the size of Core's operations, then you'll feel sorry for the sheer volume of liquid these two have to power through. But then you realize how deep their bond and friendship are and how in tune they are with what they want to do and what the brewery needs from them and you only feel kinda bad! We talk their involvement in the Black Is Beautiful national rollout, the secret joys of the seltzer world, and bringing hazy and milkshake IPAs to Arkansas! Plus! D Neal denigrates the good name of the Pliny franchise, Ben talks about the criminal underbelly of his childhood, Jamie talks about changing career paths, and Rodrigo discloses a shocking secret about his beer love development.

This week Radio Brews News interviews Micah Rees from Core Brewing Concepts. Two weeks ago website The Crafty Pint published a story titled Brewer Beware, outlining issues that a number of brewers have had with a brewing equipment supplier, Core Brewing. This followed a warning posted on social media by one of the brewers affected. We initially intended to run this podcast featuring interviews with a number of the affected brewers, together with this interview with Micah Rees. However, as we spoke with the brewers, the story was rapidly developing as more affected brewers came to light. In light of that we have decided to run this interview alone and will follow up with brewers in later episodes. Needless to say, versions of key events are disputed. ___________________________________________________________________ Radio Brews News is proudly supported by and also by
