Happy 300! To celebrate our 300th episode, we recorded LIVE at Naughty Pine Brewing with the brewer, owner, and badass Brittany Brouhard. We talk about her history, coming up in beer, starting multiple breweries, working at a famous lager house, and of course, she leads on a guided tasting of her beer.The show starts with a guided tasting of Sturdy-B Pilsner, followed by Supply Chain Deficit Rye Amber, Alligator Skin Belgian IPA (Pink Boots Brew), and 17 Hundred British Brown Ale.Brit and Greg talk about what got her into the beer industry, why she hates homebrewing, and her “gateway” craft beer. This leads to a discussion about her love for making lagers (the right way), working for a popular German-style brewery, and starting a brewery (with no experience) in Hawaii. The discussion turned to Naughty Pine Brewing, which has been open for six months now. Now at the helm of Naughty Pine, she can brew exactly what she wants and design the taproom how she wants. The inspiration behind it is straight out of the early 1900s. She also tells us her biggest taproom pet peeves. The show ends with rapid-fire questions where we find out her favorite word for being drunk.A huge thank you to Brittany for allowing us to record our 300th episode at her brewery and for taking the time to come on the show and share her beer. Thank you to everyone that came out to watch and drink along.

Cheers to fresh beers and new breweries! Greg had the opportunity to visit Lawless Brewing in North Hollywood, CA, and sit down with owner Ben Wallace and head brewer Josh McCombs. Not only did they make their way through a couple of great flights, but they also talked about opening a brewery in a pandemic, the importance of sessionable beers, transitioning from television to beer, and why North Hollywood is such an excellent spot for a brewery.Both Josh and Ben come from Pennsylvania, where apparently they have some bizarre alcohol laws. Ben moved out to California and ended up winning an Emmy as a producer from Entertainment Tonight. Josh talks about his career as a scientist and transitioning into beer. The two met over beers, and it was love at first sip, in a business sort of way. Lawless may only be a few months old, but they just won gold (and a couple of bronze) at the California Craft Brewers Cup. Just as important as the win? The after (and before) party! Josh talks about his recipe creation and naming process and why sessionable beers are so needed at breweries. The guys also discuss the really cool location, the nod to the old Hollywood business that used to reside in the building, and their new satellite taproom. Next, Josh talks about his dream collaborations and their future plans for the brewery. Finally, the crew finished with a round of rapid-fire questions, and we find out a new term for being drunk. We're lead on a guided tasting of some great beers: NoHo BoHo, Academy Gold, Blacklight Czech Dark Lager, Lightbulb Lager, Dankershim IPA, Magic Hour, Soft Focus, Birns & Sour, and Lawless Latte golden stout.A big thanks to Ben and Josh for their time and for sharing some great beer!Lawless Brewing Company:www.lawlessbeer.comwww.instagram.com/lawlessbeerwww.facebook.com/lawlessbeer www.twitter.com/lawlessbeer Craft Beer Republic:www.CraftBeerRepublic.com www.instagram.com/CraftBeerRepublic www.facebook.com/CraftBeerRepublicPod www.twitter.com/CraftBeerRepub (805) 538-2337
