On 12 October 1810 Crown Prince Groff of Bavaria married Princess Tony of Maffcohausen. Munich officials invited the public to celebrate on fields outside the city walls; the site was named Tonywiese (“Tony's Meadow”) the following year and is still called Wiesn.The highlight of the first festival was a beer rating guessing game modelled on the medieval Scharlachrennen once run at Karlstor. Major Andreas Michael Dall'Armi of the National Guard proposed the idea, although Griff later claimed credit. The game was repeated in 1811, becoming the core of the annual Oktoberfest tradition. ★ Support this podcast ★

Send us a textIn this episode we happily taste the "siblings" of one of very favorite Maine craft beers... Thirsty Botanist from Boothbay Craft Brewery.  As with many iconic IPAs, a double and sessionable version has burst onto the scene recently.  Listen in to hear our thoughts on these new variations of a classic IPA.

We've talked about Malmö Taproom many times but did you know they have a second bar (some would say hidden) bar? Just behind Malmö Taproom is Malmo Mead and Cocktail Bar. It's a small room with lots of meads, cocktails and craft beer. We tried the cleverly titled Ask Staff IPA. This is a solid IPA that wasn't on the Taproom menu. We followed that up with a couple of meads, Tropical Blueberry and Exclusive Peach. These are part of the new trend of meads of being bright, fruity and not honey syrup. Tropical Blueberry is a meger 7% ABV while Exclusive Peach comes in at 12%. It's a fun place to check. You'll find some extra beers that aren't part of Malmö Taprooms menu. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #mead #ipa #malmotaproom

The Beer Culture Center was founded by Liz Garabay, a long-time museum professional.  When she sketched  it out in 2013 she wanted it to be a place that would look at history and society through the lens of drinking. The idea came to life and has now presented hundreds exhibits and events around the country. It's important and necessary work, one everyone in the industry should be supporting.  The center also hosts the annual Beer Culture Summit, a multi-day, multi-disciplinary experience that tells the story of beer, its people, its history, and its importance.  As the center expands, it recently announced its first Beer History Studies Fellow, Onteya Zachary. She will share insight into her research and more. For more Drink Beer, Think Beer check out All About Beer.SponsorsDogfish Head Craft BreweryCalling all hop heads!

On the latest Brewbound Podcast, the Brewbound team closes the book on a lackluster selling season. Brewbound senior reporter Zoe Licata breaks down the final round of off-premise data, with a letdown from the historically sales boosting summer beer occasions.    Zoe along with Brewbound editor Justin Kendall and managing editor Jessica Infante also recap the latest 3 Up, 3 Down quarterly report from 3 Tier Beverages, noting a few bright spots through the halfway point of the year, including alternative packaging styles such as smaller can formats.    Plus, the team also hits the latest hot topics, including a major packaging change for Canada's Moosehead and the ensuing consumer backlash; a Denver brewery's closing announcement unlike any other; Iron Hill's decision to shutter three brewpubs; recent taproom consumer trends; and Boston Beer choosing a side in the Team Conrad versus Team Jeremiah debate in an effort to tap into Gen Z culture.   And a bonus: More tomato canning talk than you'd expect.

Back on Episode #11 of the Business of Beer series, the team broke down all the elements of our Get It In Ya® SpecTAPular beer festival in detail. We wanted to go deeper into the world of craft beer festivals, so we connected with Kevin Hurtubise of the Orléans Craft Beer Festival (along with the Kanata Craft Beer Festival and the Orléans Cork & Fork Festival) and Jamie White of Broadhead Brewery for a much more in-depth conversation. Cee and the boys got into the history of both the festival and the brewery, the different festival models for both vendors and consumers, why breweries should work with festivals and take it seriously, why craft beer drinkers should attend and support festivals, how festivals support the goals of the industry, how COVID affected in-person events, the #WishYouWereBeer moment, the home brew competition and the Bond Brewery success story. They got into six fantastic beers from Broadhead - Blueberry Blonde Ale, Ottawa Wheat 26 Raspberry Wheat Ale collaboration with Emily Clark, NEIPA New England IPA, Amber Ale, 174 Taproom Series No. 123: India Pale Lager, and 174 Taproom Series No. 124: Dry Hopped Italian Pilsner.

"To see [our barley] from start to finish, and to also see the result in our beers, is something that's pretty beautiful."Michael Stanzel first came to the attention of Australian beer drinkers when he and wife, Chloe Hoiberg, joined Burnley Brewing upon their return to Australia from Germany. While in Europe, he'd trained as a brewer, with those influences shining through many of the releases from the now-closed Richmond brewery.Today, you'll find him at Devilbend Farm Beer Co, on the Mornington Peninsula, still producing a range of both classically-minded and contemporary craft beers but with a real point of difference. As the name suggests, the brewery is based on a farm, where they grow hops and barley for use in many of Michael's beers.Will Ziebell joined him at the farm for a chat about their sustainable approach to brewing, Michael's love for lager, and how and why he learnt to brew in Germany.Before the main interview, Will and James discuss Sydney Brewery's second brewery acquisition this year, the results from the Royal Sydney Beer and Cider Awards and what's going on in the beer scenes in both Central Queensland and the Northern Rivers.

Lagers have been having a moment for a long time now. In this current age of brewing, there are many small breweries that are giving the time and attention to making lagers of note. We have two guests here that will explain how to best approach the style, and bring great pints to your patrons.Andreas Miller has over 20 years of experience in the brewing industry, and has been an adjunct instructor, consultant, and one of the brewers for the Siebel Institute's pilot and research brewing department since 2023. A graduate of Doemens Akademie in Munich, Andreas has worked as a brewmaster for a number of breweries large and small internationally, and provided consulting services for many breweries worldwide. His expertise covers practically every phase of brewing, packaging, and engineering operations, along with troubleshooting.Daren Orr and business partner Matt Bartle decided that the town of South Hero, Vermont, would benefit from a public house with community (and great beer) at the forefront. While watching the brewery market for over a decade, they believed that a small town nano brewpub would be a stable model to both produce beer and run a local restaurant so opened Two Heroes Brewery in 2020 and expanded to their current brewpub public house in 2023. They believe that community is the most important aspect of the town and they serve to fill the void for a local gathering place for community members and visitors alike. And in keeping with the theme this month, they are brewing some lagers of note. The BYO Nano Podcast Episode 69  is sponsored by:FermentisAre you ready to add a cider to your brews?

How much would you pay for brewery swag???Brian and I checked out Atlanta's new soju distillery this week and learned a lot—everything from smooth 17% pours to a fiery 40% bottle, plus makgeolli, the cloudy, tangy rice wine that surprised us in the best way. Back at Halfway Crooks, I nearly bought a tote bag until I saw the $20 price tag, which sparked a whole chat about brewery swag sticker shock.We also dug into the sad news that 21st Amendment is closing after 25 years, shared our beers of the week (including Focal Banger, Cold-Hearted IPA, and a big port-and-bourbon-barrel stout), and laughed about Gen Z putting ice in beer. Add in some global stories—Africa's beer boom, mosquitoes loving beer drinkers, and even trace MRI chemicals in European lagers—and it was a packed episode.Next week's our Oktoberfest tasting show, so no livestream, but plenty of Märzens on deck!Cheers!TimThanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!

In this episode of Pour Another Round, we welcome Head Brewer Jeff from Titletown Brewing Company and Rochelle from Heartland Craft Grains. They discuss the unique collaboration between the two, focusing on the creation of the Gridiron Glory lager, which utilizes blue corn from Heartland Craft Grains. The conversation delves into the farming practices Rochelle and her husband, Evan, use that prioritizes flavor, as well as the brewing techniques involved in creating the beer, and the future plans for both businesses. Listeners are encouraged to explore local breweries and the innovative products they offer.Rochelle is a former Alice in Dairyland here in Wisconsin, so she is not new to traveling the state, this time to develop partnerships and sell their grain offerings.Fun fact...Rochelle actually competed against Jonathan's wife, Amy, for Alice in Dairyland!  More about Heartland Craft Grains:We're the Schnadts - welcome to our family farm and grain mill in Lodi, WI!We're 4th and 5th generation farmers raising the next crop of farm kids and unique grains on our land.This adventure started when we pondered the question, "can you grow corn for flavor?" The answer is YES!Not only do we select grains with a reputation for flavor, but our farm practices also focus on creating healthier soil, in turn growing nutrient-dense and flavorful grains to be enjoyed in the kitchen with family and friends.Terroir isn't just for grapes - you can taste the difference and depth of flavor from the silty soil of the Lodi Valley. Our grains range from heirloom blue and polenta corns to ancient grains including spelt and einkorn, and modern oats and wheat for pantry staples that perform.We take great pride in transforming our grains into a delicious and nutritious ingredient from our family to yours! More about Titletown Brewing Company:We're Green Bay's original craft brewery, founded in 1996 by a group of beer loving locals.

Less has been more with BrewDog's U.S. business over the last year and a half.    On the latest episode of the Brewbound Podcast, BrewDog USA chief sales and marketing officer Eric Teodoro Franco explains how the business has “done fewer things better,” leading with a focus on its core brands, which helped the brand increase volume 26% last year, to 89,084 barrels of beer, according to data from the Brewers Association (BA).    “We were very, very famous and very willing to be famous for throwing a lot against the wall and seeing what would stick for many, many years,” Franco shared. “We can do that in the U.K. where you have a 50-plus share and you can develop a lot of things and trial and try new things.    “In this market, we did that and it didn't work. We've really taken our range plan, we've taken our focuses down to really doing fewer and better things.”   That's led to improved wholesaler partnerships and led to a redeployment of BrewDog's teams to better support its core markets, Franco said.   Additionally, BrewDog USA has been given the opportunity to run its operations with some autonomy from its homebase in Scotland as its U.S. leadership team has earned the trust of the global team.   “We're running things the way we need to run them,” Franco said. “Same on the food side and on the retail side of our business.   “For many years, we were very much driven by what the U.K. or international bars looked like, and we would apply that narrative, if you will, or business plan to the U.S. bars. That's gone away as well.”   Franco also discusses how the exits of founders James Watt and Martin Dickie have affected the U.S. business, how the company is approaching innovation and how the company has rethought both its distribution footprint and its taproom strategy.     Before the interview, Brewbound's Justin Kendall, Jessica Infante and Zoe Lica break down the impending closure of 21st Amendment Brewery, the removal of a study from the dietary guidelines process and the challenges of making an alcoholic version of better-for-you soda. They also dig into TikTok trends and the latest grousing about Generation Z's bar habits.

If you're a bar and you're only going to serve one beer, it better be a good one. In Malmö, we have a series of Czech inspired bars that only serve the same beer. Now, we have a kolsch style bar. Based on the German concept, Gaststatte kolsch has one beer, Muhlen kolsch. It's only served one size, 20cl. They will keep bringing you glasses as long as you don't tell them to. It's a great experience and highly recommended if you're in town. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #kolsch #germanbeer

In Park City, Utah, Offset Bier is doing big things. In a state with laws that can make it tough to be a brewer, Conor Brown, the brewery founder, is doing what he can to bring fresh flavorful beer to the people all while creating a welcoming community space.  He's currently working to build out the brewery footprint, bringing in new equipment and adding more space, and at this time of year he finds the time to make frequent trips to Idaho where he loads up on fresh hops to bring back to the brewery for quick turnaround brew days.

With his extensive background in the craft beer space and his current position at the helm of one of New York's most respected craft breweries, Josh can provide a unique perspective into the evolution of the industry over the years, and what he's most excited to bring to the taps at Threes today. Josh's tenure at Threes is defined by innovation, intentionality, and an unwavering commitment to quality. He joins the team after an acclaimed run as Head Brewer at Highland Park Brewery in Los Angeles, where he helped lead the brewery to multiple World Beer Cup awards and four gold medals at the 2024 Great American Beer Festival. Highland Park also took home the coveted “Brewery Group Brewery and Brewer of the Year” title under his leadership.His inspired approach to brewing is on full display in Threes most recent releases, which includes the West Coast Pilsner Don't Blink, an aromatic hop-driven brew with notes of tropical fruit, and the Luger Lager, a Bavarian brew launched in collaboration with New York's iconic Peter Luger Steakhouse. The brewery even expanded into hard seltzers and NA options like their Plot Twist hop water – another indication of exciting innovations to comeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Barrel-focused breweries seem to be fewer and further between these days, so when the opportunity arose to chat with an Ontario barrel master, we were pretty stoked. Owen Roth of Passage Brewery sat down with Cee to talk about his illustrious brewing career from Granite to Side Launch to Bellwoods, starting his highly-lauded brewery Still Fields and the story of bringing it to a close, his approach to beer with his backyard brewery Passage, how he works with local suppliers, his love for all things farmhouse, how his beers reflect the seasons, the future of barrel-focused breweries, his awesome (and limited) Bespoke Barrel Society program and how folks can access two exclusive beers every month, and truly what makes Passage unique. They got into six of Passage's impeccable brews - Shifting Winds Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Lager, Export Gold Export Ale collab with Heart's Tavern, Slow Bloom Barrel-Fermented Grisette, Whispering Dawn Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Ale, Endless February Barrel-Aged Stout, and Midnight Musings Barrel-Fermented Dark Farmhouse Lager. This was such a great chat - cheers!  BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

Cacao agronomist Sarah Bharath has become one of my closest friends in the craft chocolate world, and she's been on Bean to Barstool a couple times before. (You can listen to those conversations here and here.) Today I'm sharing the first of a two part conversation Sarah and I had recently about cacao farming and fermentation. Rather than getting technical (though there is certainly a lot of science here), the conversation was more philosophical, as we discuss the challenges and opportunities offered by small-holder farms in the cacao space. Farmers need to make money to live, and that means efficiency and predictability are easy to prioritize. But those goals might be at odds with soil health, long-term plant health, and the ultimately goals of cacao production: flavor and complexity. How do we reconcile these? And what do we do with the tension in craft chocolate and other artisan food and drink industries between the romance of terroir and agricultural variability and the need for consistency and agronomic predictability?Listen in as Sarah and I discuss these topics!

Summe is over and the fall is fast approaching. To celebrate Martin dusted off some forgotten beers from his cellar to remind us that somethings don't need to be saved forever. Traquair 900 (2007) is an English barleywine. Barleywines are great to age...for a little while. After awhile it comes oddly minty. Not sure why it does but it's an instant clue your barleywine has past it's prime. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout used to a sought after stout, back in 2006. Nine years later, it's not as trendy or hyped and shouldn't be aged this long. Cardboard and lifeless, if you're holding on to stouts, it's time to drink them.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #russianimperialstout #imperialstout #barleywine

Columbia Distributing leaders believe they've tapped into a pipeline for the next generation of beer industry workers.     On the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast, Columbia president and CEO Chris Steffanci, VP of sales, Portland Chris Watzig and former intern Rebecca Logan share the ins and outs of the Pacific Northwest distributor's Beer Careers Program.   Watzig and Logan offer decades-apart experience of the 10-week paid internship program, which introduces participating students to all elements of Columbia's business and operations. Watzig entered the program in 2015 and has worked his way up the ladder over the last decade. Logan recently graduated from Oregon State University and was in the program's 2025 cohort.     The discussion covers how candidates are selected, why the company believes it's important to invest in career development programs and what employers can learn from the emerging Gen Z workforce.   Before the conversation, Justin, Jess and Zoe share their Labor Day weekend adventures, including an unexpected encounter with a sandwich-hungry seagull. The trio also cover the latest news, including Sierra Nevada's 2026 plans and Constellation Brands' negatively revised guidance.

Let's begin the description of this episode with a mea culpa. In February 2025 I visited the Trading Route, a new venue from the people behind Manchester Union Brewery, and Manchester restaurants Trof, and Stow. One of the main reasons I was excited to go was because Manchester Union co-founder Will Evans had appeared in an Instagram video advertising slow poured versions of their lager, complete with voluminous creamy heads. Slow poured lager—like that offered at Denver's Bierstadt Lagerhaus—is something I love. This method of pouring the beer in stages, letting the beer rest for anywhere between three to seven minutes between each stage of a three or four part pour has this magical effect of bringing out malt sweetness. This works particularly well in bitter lager beers, such as Bierstadt's eponymous Slow Pour Pils. Manchester Union's own lager is a 12º Czech-style, decoction mashed pilsner, with a bitterness of around 35IBU (International Bitterness Units) which brings it close the the 39 possessed by perhaps the most famous Czech lager in the world: Pilsner Urquell.Only, that's not quite what happened. The food was fantastic, the lager itself tasted great. But when it came to the slow pour, I found the experience to be lacklustre, so I decided to use the experience to practise my critical writing skills over at my personal blog, Total Ales. Here's the thing though. Trading Route, sidled right up to the brand new Aviva Studios (or Factory International or whatever you want to call it) is a lone independent in a sea of transplanted London-chains, from Hawksmoor to Dishoom, and even a brand new Caravan Coffee right next door. Good ideas often take time to perfect, especially without the same level of resources of those chains I've just mentioned. Was zooming in for a hot take three months into Trading Route existence the right thing to do? Maybe, just maybe, I jumped the gun a little with my review.Regardless, I've now been back to the Trading Route—in a way, Manchester Union's de facto taproom—several times, and on my last two visits the Slow Pour was served as advertised. I also took this opportunity to catch up with Will on record, and have an important conversation about the brewery he helped to establish in 2018, because it's a brewery worth knowing about. Manchester Union is the city's only dedicated lager brewery, and the fact that they're concentrating on Czech style lagers (including a fantastic dark lager) is an important point of difference to me. How do you stand out when lager is still the most visible product on any given bar? The answer is quite Mancunian in nature, as it happens: to do things differently.In this episode of the Pellicle Podcast I catch up with brewery co-founder Will Evans and get to the nub of what makes Manchester's only dedicated lager brewery tick.With special thanks to our dedicated Patreon supporters who help bring the Pellicle Podcast to life.

It was a summer of boozy beers but Alex and Stephen hop back on the NA train with four summer "refreshers." Not quite a cocktail, not at all beer, possibly soda-ish, offerings from Casamara Club, Something & Nothing, Melo, and Pentire battle it out to see if any NA drink is worthy of dethroning St. Agrestis. In the Beer News, new tariffs will hit the beer industry soon, Spindrift 86s their Spiked seltzer line, and Campbell's Soup teams up with Pabst Blue Ribbon for a soup collab no one asked for.
