Last week, we hosted a series of three webinars focused on different aspects of nonalcoholic brewing. In this episode of the podcast, we share an excerpt from the first session—focused on formulation—featuring Notch founder Chris Lohring, Halfway Crooks cofounder Shawn Cooper, and Abstrax Hops technical sales manager Craig Thomas. Through the course of the conversation, the trio discuss malt choices and process for NA beers, hop usage and different formats, dialing in bitterness, building body without sweetness, adjusting chloride content for fullness, and much more. If this piques your interest, the full webinars are available for viewing on our website: Formulation Fermentation Finishing G&D Chillers A quick word for the brewers out there staring down a broken chiller.

G&D Chillers is there to help, whether you're a small brew pub or large full-scale production brewery. Don't throw good money at bad equipment. Invest in a solution that grows with your brewery—and keeps your tanks cold when it counts.

Send a textThis week on the Mike & Blaine Podcast, we dig into one of the strangest realities of modern internet culture: the smaller and more ridiculous the conflict, the more attention it seems to attract. From comment-section battles and “subtle shade” reels to stitched reaction videos and viral mini-drama clips, it's clear the internet is wired to amplify disagreement far faster than nuance or facts.We unpack why humans are psychologically drawn to conflict, how social media algorithms actively reward outrage, and why even thoughtful creators and well-intentioned brands feel pressure to lean into controversy just to stay visible. But more importantly, we explore the strategic side of it: attention is a currency, and not all attention compounds in your favor.In this episode, we connect the dots between viral drama and real business strategy. When does provocative content drive meaningful engagement, and when does it quietly erode trust? How can founders, marketers, and creators design content that cuts through the noise without burning credibility? And what tactics can you use to build long-term audience loyalty in a system that's optimized for short-term spikes?If you've ever wondered why calm, thoughtful content gets ignored, why your smartest posts underperform, or how to play the algorithm game without selling your soul, this conversation breaks it down in a practical, no-nonsense way.Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join Mike & Blaine as we talk internet culture, marketing psychology, and the hidden costs of chasing clicks.Enjoying the show?

Rowan van Dijk of Moersleutel interviews Davide Callegari of Brew York.This Episode is Sponsored by:Berkeley YeastOur Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.SennosSennos is redefining fermentation intelligence.

Send a textIn this episode we investigate what all of the buzz is about regarding a couple of inauspicious beers brewed and branded under a New England grocery store chain and a national wholesale club behemoth.  And we also taste a fun lager from a brewery owned by the Kelsey brothers, Travis & Jason.  Listen in to hear our thoughts on these beers, and to find out if we think they meet our two criteria for Maine Beer Geeks' recommended brews.

Generally speaking, there's some correlation between brewery scale and lager quality, and while there are plenty of exceptions to every rule, there's no denying that honing lager beers into the best versions of themselves requires repetition, time, and access to the best ingredients. But over the past few years, an ever-increasing number of very small craft brewers have found success in the major competitions not despite their size, but because of it. Ferndale, Michigan's Urbanrest firmly sits in that group, and their recent gold medal in the American Pilsner category at GABF is further proof that careful process and thoughtful beer design aren't dependent on scale. The beer itself, Kaiser, started as a Franconian-inspired kellerpils, but over the years has morphed into what they now call American pils. And funny enough, it contains only Vienna-style malt from small craft maltster and none of the pils malt that most would expect. But that's not the only way they've strayed from the classic narrative. In this episode, founder and brewer Zach Typinski discusses how they: ferment German lager with a dry 34/70 strain while fermenting American pils with a liquid 34/70 blend various base malts in both lager and IPA find the perfect amount of “rusticity” in American pils manage direct-fire kettle caramelization in lieu of decoction krausen lagered beer for carbonation since the brewery doesn't own a carb stone build texture and retain foam through the krausening process source and contract great hops despite their small size And more. G&D Chillers G&D's biggest edge isn't just the equipment—it's their deep understanding of brewery operations. From layout to production flow, they bring real-world expertise and build reliable systems that last, whether it's a single-stage 5H or a Vertical Air Chiller. New Belgium Brewing recently partnered with G&D to install a propane-based Elite 290 chiller —delivering around 50% energy savings compared to CO₂ systems. As Andy Collins, New Belgium's Carbon Neutral Engineer, put it: “We're really happy to work with a partner like G&D Chillers who helped us significantly reduce the amount of HFCs used in our refrigeration systems.” With 24/7 support and remote monitoring, your cold side stays dialed in—day or night.

Send a textOnline reviews used to be a shortcut to confidence. Now they feel more like a coin toss. One minute a product has thousands of glowing 5-star ratings, the next minute you're convinced half of them were written by bots, paid influencers, or AI tools that have never touched the product.In this episode of the Mike & Blaine Podcast, we dig into how the internet slowly broke trust—and what that means for businesses trying to grow in a world where skepticism is the default setting. We unpack how fake reviews, influencer culture, AI-generated content, and performance marketing have turned authenticity into a competitive advantage instead of a baseline expectation.But this isn't just a rant about broken systems. It's a conversation about strategy. If trust is now the most valuable currency in business, how do you actually earn it? We talk about why over-polished branding can backfire, why transparency beats perfection, and why showing real trade-offs often builds more credibility than pretending your product is flawless.We also explore what customers are actually responding to now: real stories, honest downside, consistent delivery, and brands that feel human instead of manufactured. From long-term reputation building to word-of-mouth loops, we connect these shifts to practical business tactics—how you design your marketing, how you structure your offers, and how you communicate value without hype.If you run a business, create content, or sell anything online, this episode will likely change how you think about growth. Because in a noisy, automated, AI-saturated world, trust isn't built through louder marketing—it's built through better behavior.Enjoy the episode, and if you want to support the show, visit http://mikeandblaine.com and buy us a beer

Hello, I am boycotting the AI slop. There was just too much of it at the Super Bowl and it sucked major ass. We are gonna have to stand up to this crap, or let the economy “do it's thing” where we all go broke for a few years and say “cool, we have to do this forever.” Today we had a nice time talking about Heineken, Voodoo Ranger and Vaccinale. That just about covers it. See ya. ★ Support this podcast ★

Malmo Taproom had a tap takeover with Saez and Son from the Valenciana region of Spain. They had lots to try from TIPA to Pastry sours. It was tough to pick so we went with the two more interesting beers. Twisted Mary is a tomato gose that tastes more like vegetable or tomato juice than beer. Produced by their side project LOKO*, this beer will be really devisive. If you don't like tomato juice, you'll want to give it a pass. Palm Beach is a 6% ABV pastry sour with mango, platano and coconut milk. This is a rich delicous brew that you want to keep drinking.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #gose #pastrysour

Through his decades of work in the brewing industry, many spent in R&D and quality at Sierra Nevada, Tom Nielsen has played a critical role in getting craft beer a seat at the broader brewing table. While industry advocacy groups were once dominated by macro brewers pursuing their own narrow goals, Nielsen (and a cohort of craft contemporaries) helped change the bigger conversation, connect ingredient producers and processors with brewer end users, and usher in a new golden age for hops flavor and aroma as well as malting-barley quality. Now Nielsen is tackling a new challenge—scaling down while maintaining the same rigorous approach to quality—as he builds the brewing program for the forthcoming Emberside Brewery in his home state of New Jersey. In this episode, Nielsen discusses: the development of the innovation process at Sierra Nevada perfecting Pale Ale and how the brewery prioritized R&D factors that improve packaged beer stability evaluating quality in crystal malts testing malt quality and consistency with equipment such as the farinator moving beyond visual inspection for barley and hops improving malt flavor with new (and old) barley varieties advances in pelletizing that retain more hop punch blending science, sensory, and a bit of art to achieve great beer And more. G&D Chillers G&D now offers their Elite 290 Micro-series with 5H chillers—bringing even more flexibility to their propane-powered lineup. In fact, they're building one right now for Red Clover Ale Co in partnership with Efficiency Vermont. It runs on a Natural Refrigerant with near-zero Global Warming Potential—projected to deliver around 10% more efficiency than A2L refrigerant systems. That's smart sustainability backed by proven engineering and trusted performance. With 24/7 support and remote monitoring, your cold side stays dialed in—day or night. Explore the Elite 290 Micro-series and more at gdchillers.com Berkeley Yeast Berkeley Yeast just launched Dry Tropics London! Our best-selling liquid yeast strain, now with all the ease-of-use benefits of dry yeast. Dry Tropics London delivers the soft, pillowy mouthfeel and juicy character you'd expect from a top-tier London Ale strain, but with a serious upgrade: a burst of thiols that unleash vibrant, layered notes of grapefruit and passion fruit. A lot of brewers love the clean passion fruit you get from Tropics, but they don't want every IPA to be a tropical-fruit bomb. At the dry yeast price point, you can pitch and ditch without breaking the bank. Or, you can co-pitch with your house strain to adjust the intensity of the notes. And with nationwide free shipping, there's never been a better time to try Dry Tropics. Order now at berkeleyyeast.com and experience the ease and impact of Dry Tropics London Yeast.

Send us a textAI is everywhere. Subscriptions are everywhere. And somehow, everyone feels more tired than helped. In this episode of the Mike & Blaine Podcast, we dig into the very real rise of AI fatigue and subscription fatigue—and why tools that promise speed and leverage often end up doing the opposite. Businesses keep layering on AI features, dashboards, and monthly tools, assuming more capability automatically means more value. Spoiler: it doesn't.We unpack how companies unintentionally train customers to cancel by over-selling potential and under-delivering practical outcomes. When software value lives in theory instead of day-to-day use, it's always the first line item to get cut. We talk about why underused tools feel expensive no matter the price, how AI has become a checkbox instead of a strategy, and why “just add AI” is not a business model.This conversation goes beyond tech trends and into real business strategy. If you're building products, pricing subscriptions, or running a company that relies on recurring revenue, this episode breaks down what real value actually feels like to customers—and how clarity, simplicity, and outcomes beat novelty every time. We also connect the dots between tool overload, decision fatigue, and why leadership teams are quietly overwhelmed even while spending more than ever on software.If you've ever looked at your stack and thought, “We should be getting way more out of this,” or wondered why customers churn even when your product is objectively powerful, this episode will hit uncomfortably close to home.Grab a drink, listen in, and if you enjoy the conversation, help keep the podcast going—visit https://mikeandblaine.com to buy us a beer

Fritz Family founder Cory Buenning brewed from the mid-90's through the mid 20-teens for Wyoming craft beer pioneers Snake River, but the itch to do his own thing was strong, and after returning to Colorado after a few years in Kentucky, he leased the old Bootstrap brewery in Niwot, installed a new brewhouse and cellar, and got to work making the beers he wanted to make—a variety of primarily lager beer, brewed thoughtfully and carefully. Years later, the brewery has developed a strong following among locals, but is also a favorite hangout for the area's brewers, and you'll often find brewers from neighboring breweries at the Fritz bar for a post-shift beer. It's brewers beer, after all—easy to drink, impeccably made, and unassuming. In this episode, Buenning shares his approach to making refined lagers at a taproom scale, and along the way discusses: how cold knockouts, cold fermentation, and no diacetyl rest make better lagers brewing with an jacketed oil-heated brewhouse rather than steam-heated acidifying the mash using sauergut building body in clear beer through proteins not carbohydrates carbonating naturally via capped tank using forced fermentation tests on all lagers managing gelatinization issues with European malt through modified step mashing ingredient approaches to Pilsner, helles, and Kölsch understanding yeast timing and performance to dial in harvesting and rep itching managing head pressure with 34/70 to reduce sulfur And more.

Send us a textReinvestment, Flywheels, & Why “Viral” Is a Myth on Mike and BlaineEveryone sees the stunts. The giveaways. The eye-popping subscriber counts. What most people don't see is the system underneath it all — and that's exactly what this episode of the Mike & Blaine Podcast digs into.In this episode, Mike and Blaine break down how MrBeast treats content like a business, not a lottery ticket. Instead of chasing random virality, he engineers outcomes by reinvesting aggressively, narrowing focus to one metric at a time, and building a flywheel that compounds attention, revenue, and scale. Every video isn't just content — it's infrastructure.Here's the twist: when you zoom out, MrBeast's approach looks a lot less like influencer hype and a lot more like disciplined business strategy. Tight feedback loops. Extreme reinvestment. Ruthless prioritization. Long-term thinking. It's the same mindset used in high-performing companies that understand cash flow, unit economics, and compounding advantages — just applied to media instead of manufacturing or SaaS.If you run a business, lead a team, create content, or care about growth strategy, this episode connects dots most people never put together. Why some creators (and companies) win consistently. Why “going viral” is usually the result of systems, not the cause. And how thinking like an operator instead of a gambler changes everything.If this episode makes you think, laugh, or question your own strategy, head over to https://mikeandblaine.com and buy us a beer
