Podcasts about craft beer

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. In short, we have thoughts. In this episode, contributing editor Kate Bernot, prolific author and longtime contributor Stan Hieronymus, and executive editor Joe Stange take off their reporter hats to talk through their favorite things they tasted all year, from around the world—going deeper into their Critics' Lists from the annual Best in Beer issue—inevitably sharing thoughts on where craft beer both could and should be heading.

When Brian Grossman started working for the brewery his father co-founded he expected to be making beer right away. Instead he was put to work scrubbing out fermenters. Over the years at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. he has held a number of jobs in both the original Chico, California location and in the Mills River, North Carolina brewery. Today he goes by chief brewer and is increasingly becoming the public face of the venerable beer brand that just celebrated its 45th anniversary. Earlier today, shortly before the North Carolina brewery opened its doors to the public for pours of Celly Drippins, he sat down for a conversation about generations, responsibility, brewing and hops.

The final episode before we start our holiday beer festivities. A friend of Martin's gave us three beers from Lithuanian. Volfas Engelman has over 340 beers listed on Untapped. This is part of their Alaus Laiskai or Beer Letters series. We got to try 100% Cryo Hops IPA, a 5.7% AVB IPA. Next up is Funky Lambic, a 5.5% AVB sour lambic style beer. Finally, we get Fig Stout Twist, a 4.6% ABV style stout. They call it a "special technology beer with fig flavor." It's a trip to a country that doesn't export beers. We were really happy to get to try them.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #ipa #lambic #stout

Well Athletic Brewing takes that a step further, so I can drink beer for a good cause and have it be a little better for me because its non-alcoholic!

Coming down from San Diego Craft beer week it seemed like a good idea to take a break from beer.

Having food options is a way to bring in new customers and to keep fans coming back. There are many ways a small brewery can approach a menu and this month we're talking with folks who have dedicated kitchens and robust food truck programs. First up, Tony Cordova of New York's Scale House Brewing. Cordova, the Head Brewer, talks about the evolution of the company, what goes into running a pizza program of note, and how the brewhouse and the kitchen work together to create a memorable customer experience. Then Jason Stengl of Colorado's Cannonball Creek shares insight into running a food truck program. When he and his partners started the brewery, they had come from a brewpub chain that did great business. They knew they wanted to focus on beer so opted against having a kitchen. Now they have a robust food truck program - at least one each day of the week they are open. He shares insight on how scheduling, managing, and working with those businesses has its own challenges. The BYO Nano Podcast Episode 71  is sponsored by:Five Star ChemicalsBrewers, listen up!

There's a lot of San Diego connections with Russian River including one part owner that calls Julian home. So, they make it a priority that The Pub at Lake Cuyamaca is always stocked with Russian River beer, more so this week as for SDBW they are featuring the Santa Rosa Brewery! One of the special beers on tap include this double dry hopped version of Pliny the Elder.

Tom was gushing over what he called one of his most perfect beers while we were talking about DDH Pliny the Elder and as soon as we fired off into Tom Waits, he pulled out a bottle of Russian River's Shadow of A Doubt. Sit back and relax as he breaks down why this is only one of three beers he wouldn't do anything to change.

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.

San Diego Beer Week is a tribute to the camaraderie amongs brewers from San Diego and beyond! Tonight O'Brien's celebrates that was a night to Kern River Brewing and friends! Lots of like-minded hop-forward brewers coming together to share the passion of their craft. Tom has brought one of the beers that fits into the bill, a collab with Brandon from SanDiegoBeer.News and McIlhenny Brewing called Highest Five IPA.

We're heading into the holiday season. This means we're excited to start our advent calendar but we can't start yet. To fill the time we drank some beers. Omnipollo Practice the Art of Connection is a collab with DIPA experts Verdant. This 8% ABV DIPA is made at their church brewery in Sundbyberg, Sweden. Pohjala Evening Colours is part of the Cellar Series. This barrel-aged imperial Baltic porter is aged in Tawny Port casks for 22 months. Worth a try but it depends on how you enjoy port aged beers.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dipa #imperialstout

Send us a textEvery dashboard tells you you're winning — green lights, perfect metrics, record performance. But if the business still feels stuck, it might be because you're chasing the wrong numbers. In this episode of Mike and Blaine, we tackle the myth of “magic KPIs” and why metrics can sometimes blind you instead of guide you. We share the real stories behind times we crushed every goal on paper but still almost crashed the business — and how we learned to separate meaningful results from vanity stats. Whether you're a numbers nerd, a business owner, or just tired of chasing the scoreboard, this episode will help you focus on what truly drives progress (and profits).

Tim and Frank ask a simple question: when does nostalgia stop being nostalgia and become “just the air we breathe”? Along the way they compare reboots, sequels, adaptations, and period pieces, and test a few rules of thumb for spotting the difference. Cheers!

Welcome back to The DC Beer Show! This episode brings some extra sparkle as our hosts sit down with special guest Dave Infante, the freshly crowned 2025 North American Guild of Beer Writers best business writing category winner.Our hosts ditch their usual "What's in your glass?" opener in favor of a midday roundup of recent brews, like Dave Infante's nonalcoholic Hoplark hop water (scored from a rare local drop), and Brandy Holder's cute little Sierra Nevada craft lager—plus plenty of shoutouts to delicious pale ales and lagers from spots like Right Proper, Eebee's, and Lost Generation, setting the stage for their much-anticipated beer share at Denizens.But the true heart of the episode is a deep dive into beer journalism, cultural critique, and some righteous ranting about The New York Times' recent craft beer op-ed. Dave Infante deconstructs the misunderstood perceptions that plague craft beer coverage, especially the tired narrative that wacky labels and IPA dominance are "killing" the scene. Instead, he brings the receipts: IPAs remain 50% of the market, breweries are constantly reinventing lagers, and American beer is arguably better than ever. The conversation is equal parts spicy and insightful, with hosts and guest alike poking fun at bygone trends (remember palate-wrecking IPAs?) and celebrating the wild diversity pouring from local taps these days.There's a strong sense of camaraderie throughout, as the group chats about women-owned breweries like Denizens and Right Proper, upcoming events for beer lovers (including the Women's Brew Culture Club), and the joys of unstructured beer shares where community and conversation rule.As the episode wraps, Dave Infante shares where to keep up with his writing on Fingers and VinePair—and both DC Beer and Dave encourage you to support good beer, honest journalism, and local community wherever you find it.Grab a cold one, celebrate the golden age of American beer, and join us for another rollicking session of The DC Beer Show—where facts, flavors, and fun go hand-in-hand!

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. Some amazing pizza disasters this week, some great fast food analysis, plus maybe my favorite kölsch EVER. Tony enjoys the Bourbon County game this year and I really think my variants are even better than the real ones. ★ Support this podcast ★

Playing with new hops is a brewers dream and we get the reap the rewards! The former "Experimental hop" got a new name, Dolcita so Kilowatt Brewing deicded to Live la Dolcita Loca with their new Hazy IPA. This peachy-pineappley Hazy give you all the juice with a dry and crushable finish.

We're feeling a little fruity this episode. We need more fruited beers. Rodenbach has always been a solid, dependable brewery cranking out Flemmish red ales for a long time. Recently they have started experimenting more. Evolved Caractere is a raspberry and mango sour beer that's somehow light on all of those things. At 7.2% ABV, we want stronger flavours. We had Fidens a couple of episodes ago. It was a peach IPA. Now we're getting a full fruid bomb. Fidens Blending Dreams is a series of fruit forward beers. We got the orange, lime and pineapple version. It's an explosion of flavours.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #flemmishale #rodenbach #fruitsour

Allen and RD try Bride of Dankenstein, a West Coast IPA by Mason Ale Works. From Untappd: "This Classic west coast single IPA is the significant other, or bride so to speak, to our Dankenstein's Monster. We sewed together a bouquet of Citra, Idaho 7, Cascade, Cashmere, Strata, and Amarillo to create a beer that is lighter and more fruit forward than her more monstrous other half, although sure to still ELECTRIFY."7% ABVThanks for watching!#beer #craftbeer #beerreview #craftbeerreview #beerpodcast #craftbeerpodcast #ipa #westcoastipaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/strikeout-beer--2992189/support.

Today's guest uses craft chocolate as a way to introduce people to a subject they might otherwise feel intimidated by: chemistry.Professor Robyn Araiza teaches at California State University San Marcos. She leads a class called the Chemistry of Chocolate, which was first created by her colleague Dr. Jackie Trischman about a decade ago. The important thing about this class is that it's not really intended for chemistry students. It's a GE course for non-STEM majors.I met Robyn through our mutual friend Jorge Torres. Jorge took Robyn's class, and he's been a long time listener and supporter of Bean to Barstool. Jorge reached out to me a while back to share his excitement about this class, and about the unexpected way Robyn's research has overlapped with our interests here at Bean to Barstool: she ran a study a few years back looking at caffeine and theobromine levels in coffee and chocolate beers, respectively. Robyn was kind enough to sit down with me to talk about her research, but primarily to discuss her innovative chemistry of chocolate class, and how chocolate and the sensory process can be used in an educational setting to make a complicated subject more approachable. We also hear from Jorge about his own experience as a student in the class.Guests:Robyn Araiza began her studies at CSU San Marcos (CSUSM) in the Literaturedepartment but was inspired and mentored by CSUSM professors to eventually earn her B.S. in Chemistry and later, her Master of Science in Chemistry. She is currently a PhD student in Analytical Chemistry under the mentorship of Dr. Kevin Schug at the University of Texas at Arlington, while on CSUSM teaching faculty in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. She is also a Science & Conservation Research Associate with the San Diego Botanic Garden, supervising scientists on SDBG medicinal plant research collaborations. As the CSTEM Mentoring and Outreach Fellow much of her time is also dedicated to mentorship, community education, and outreach. Her roles include being a Super STEM Saturday Coordinator, and Faculty Director of the CSTEM Professional Mentoring Program and Blueprints Peer Mentoring Program, focused on mentorship and career development for students in the program. Her passion for early childhood outreach has led to work with The Center for Research and Engagement in STEM Education as well as helping create STEM focused Girl Scout merit badges. She's also teaches “Chemistry of Chocolate”, an upper division GE course that attracts 200+ students annually from every imaginable major. As a passionate advocate for equity in STEM, Robyn is committed to diversifying instructional strategies both inside and outside the classroom. She consistently seeks innovative ways to inspire students and share her enthusiasm for the sciences.Jorge Torres is the associate producer of the Capital of Craft Podcast, a member of the San Diego Brewers Guild Education Committee, and a U.S. Navy Reservist.
