Podcasts about craft beer

Making great beer is one challenge; running a successful brewery is another. As today's industry faces tighter margins, shifting consumer trends, and economic uncertainty, many brewers find themselves taking on new roles as managers and executives.  Our panel today – moderated by Andy Crouch from Schilling's Oktoberfest - includes decision makers who have run brewhouses and have transitioned to running their businesses, folks who have worked for others and on their own, and have managed all parts of these operations.  They share lessons on leadership, strategy, and the business realities of brewing today.For more Drink Beer, Think Beer check out All About Beer.SponsorsDogfish Head Craft BreweryCalling all hop heads!

The Brewbound team recaps the 2025 Great American Beer Festival (GABF) and the start of the National Beer Wholesalers Association's (NBWA) Annual Convention and trade show, on the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast, recorded in Las Vegas.    Jess and Zoe share their experiences at GABF, including which legacy craft brewery brought the Party Bomb; festivalgoers' reception for full-strength spirits; the return of timed special pours; mixing Pop Rocks and BeatBox; and the flamboyant embrace of costumes.    The conversation shifts to NBWA convention's first day, including the key theme of wholesaler independence from supplier interference shared by outgoing NBWA president and CEO Craig Purser and board chair Rebecca Maisel. They also discuss the underlying theme of beer as a social lubricant, including untapped events and occasions that could provide a boost to a soft beer category.    Then, in this week's featured interview, Maisel joins Justin to discuss her call for freedom from “undue supplier influence” and why distributors are questioning their supplier relationships. Maisel also dishes about her last ride on the NBWA board after 11 years, why drinkers are distracted and the growth of intoxicating hemp beverages.

In this episode, Mike and Blaine tackle one of the biggest traps entrepreneurs and small business owners fall into: overengineering.

We're keeping the Danish theme alive this week with a new brewery and a closed brewery. Tiny Hill in Copenhagen just has 4 beers listed on UnTapped. Merrimack is one of their first beers. It's a 5.5% ABV hazy IPA. Björn drops some serious Civil War knowledge on us about the Merrimack and its ties to Sweden. Baghaven was one of our favorite brewery and probably the last best thing Mikkeller has done. Sadly, it is no more but their wild ales are here to remind us of better times. Art Decadence Blend 1 is a Danish wild ale with cherries, red vineyard peaches, cabernet cortis grapes and vanilla beans. It's about 5 years old and it holds up pretty well.  #beer #craftbeer #drinks #wildale #hazyipa #ipa

AleSmith Party Tricks IPA on it's own is a fantastic IPA full of cirtus and passion fruit notes. During wet hop season you can take an already fantastic beer and kick it up a notch and that's what the brewers did! This brewery only Wet Hop Party Tricks IPA gives you all the expected flavor with this little added hint of lemon.

The Year of the Lager has been predicted for decades, and it is finally coming true. And the timing couldn't be better. Drinking habits continue to shift and younger audiences are increasingly embracing moderation or even alcohol abstinence. The craft beer industry finds itself at a crossroads. After decades of solid and sometimes explosive growth, craft beer faces both a challenge and an opportunity. Lager, with its approachable strength and depth of flavor, is uniquely positioned to thrive in this environment. And while craft lager comprises a small fraction of the beer market, it has never been more popular or relevant. Today we're going to explore how to reframe and sell lager for audiences who value balance, flavor, and authenticity, in a moment when many aren't reaching for a pint.For more Drink Beer, Think Beer check out All About Beer.SponsorsDogfish Head Craft BreweryCalling all hop heads!

Tonya Cornett thought she would end her career at 10 Barrel Brewing. She had joined the Bend, Oregon-based craft brewery in 2012, piled up competition medals for her beers and created a following at the brewery. She thrived as the brewery's R&D brewmaster before and after its 2014 sale to Anheuser-Busch InBev (A-B).    But then Tilray Brands acquired 10 Barrel and seven other brands in 2023. A year later, Tilray laid off Cornett and members of her team in a move that shocked many within the industry.   On this week's Brewbound Podcast, Cornett discusses her journey over the last decade-plus and her next chapter with Upp Liquids, a new venture in the rebranded Immersion Brewing space.    Cornett shares her experiences at A-B, how 10 Barrel and her role changed under Tilray's ownership and her goals with Upp moving forward.    As the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) kicks off in Denver, Cornett also explains how medals have served as a stamp of approval throughout her career and why they remain relevant. Cornett's beers have received numerous competition medals throughout the years, including 28 medals at the Brewers Association's (BA) GABF and World Beer Cup. That doesn't include 10 Barrel's 2024 clean sweep of the German-style Sour Ale category during the 2024 GABF competition.   Before the interview, the Brewbound team runs through the latest headlines, including a big leadership shakeup at Molson Coors and Constellation Brands' struggles as its largest consumer base remains under pressure.

From college friends to garage beer brewers, the buddies who started Fulton in 2009 rode the craft beer wage.

Jim Diley is a lawyer who left his day job to be COO of Fulton and talks with Jason DeRusha about the growth in seltzer, THC drinks, and the future of beer in Minneapolis.

Also Tony had to pause the show to use the toilet. Which is just what they call it there, he'll get pissed at me if I call it a “restroom” or a “bathroom.” It's the toilet!! Today we came upon the weirdest beer related PR push of all time, and I honestly cannot unlock what is happening there. Some really bizarre stuff.  I would try “Dale's IPA,” I just want that out there. I would try it and I think it'll be pretty good. I would also try a beer called Lucky O'Reilly or Mo'Mummy.

That's exactly what Sierra Nevada's Oktoberfest does.

It's just about that time of year again when the beer faithful travel to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival. But truth be told, there's so much do to in the Mile High City that even if you don't go to the convention center there's endless beer fun to be had.
