    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.

    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!

    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.

    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).

    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!

    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

    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.
