Gonzalo Alvarez is pursuing his master's degree in pulque. Ivan Saldana has his doctorate in agave. Both tell me that farmed agave produces better pulque than wild agave. But on trips through Nuevo Leon, Cohuila, and Hidalgo, three pulque producers said the exact opposite. So … what's the truth? They call me the Seeker, and I search low and high in this episode of Agave Road Trip! Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico.

Well, of course, there is coffee in Mexico. I've bought some at Whole Foods in the past. But my friends at Dark Matter — who want nothing more than to source coffee from Mexico — have run into nothing but trouble. So what can we learn from that?

It's impossible with coffee beans to get consistency in flavors and aromas from one harvest to the next. Add in the processing of those beans into that morning drug that starts most of our days and … still more barriers to consistency. Which reminds me so much of the things that I love about agave spirits.

The espresso martini is quickly becoming the go-to cocktail at bars. But is it really an espresso martini? Or are they using cold brewed coffee? What's the difference?

North Park tomó una de sus cervezas mas iconicas (Death Before Dying Imperial Stout) y la añejo en barricas de bourbon durante más de un año (aprox). Dosificada con una cantidad obscena de coco deshidratado, rallado y tostado, dos puñados gigantes de granos de vainilla de Madagascar de grado A y algunos granos de café expreso de Dark Matter Coffee. Lo que resultó en el más decadente, lujosamente sedoso y líquido de tus sueños. Con un sabor a coco cubierto de chocolate negro, rico y dulce. Esto es: Macaroons Before Dying, comentada por tus beer compas de confianza #UnaCervezaAlaVez

En este tercer episodio conversé con Franz Zeimetz, cervecero artesanal en Casa Bruja, apasionado de la fermentación y producción del café y otros frutos tropicales. Me impactó muchísimo su visión de ser parte del futuro del café, una industria hasta el momento muy tradicional pero que podría expandirse de forma increible para llegar al nivel de sofitiscación que el vino y la cerveza tienen a nivel global. Conversamos sobre: El surgimiento del movimiento de la cerveza artesanal en Panamá con Jonathan Pragnell y Casa Bruja. Crianza de animales en ambientes controlados. Agricultura urbana y cultivo de plantas con ambiente semicontrolado, mediante hidroponía (NFT: nutrient film technique) Uso de las azoteas para agricultura urbana. El cultivo del cacao en Panamá. Incursión en el mundo del cultivo y producción de café. La llegada del café geisha a Panamá. El concepto de terroir aplicado a la producción del café. Productos de café ready to drink fermentados y con lúpulos como Dark Matter Coffee. La produccion tradicional de café en los beneficios con lavado mecánico que produce el café oro, el grano verde de café que se vende como commodity internacionalmente. La introducción de los métodos de producción africanos que resultaron en los procesos honey y natural, por parte de Joseph Brodsky de Ninety Plus Coffee Estates. La descomposición controlada o fermentación de la cereza del café. La falta de palabras aplicables al proceso de producción de café que resulta en el uso de términos de la producción de vino o cerveza que pueden no aplicar perfectamente (e.g. fermentación anaeróbica, maceración carbónica) El encuentro con Alex Brooks de Scott Labs que lo inspiró a explorar la investigación existente en el tema de uso de levaduras en la producción de café. Proceso de identificación de levaduras salvajes usando cultivos y PCR. Los fenoles producidos por levaduras como subproducto de su acción sobre el azúcar presente en el producto. La ley seca y la pandemia resultado en tiempo para que Franz conceptualizara una propuesta de ready to drink coffee para Casa Bruja. La cadena de valor en la producción del café y la captura de valor por parte de los tostadores. El cambio de paradigma que le da más importancia al productor del café. Las dos tencencias en la producciónd el café: los tradicionalistas o naturales como Lamastus Family Estates y los experimentales como Santos Café. Ver lista completa de temas aquí.

We're drinking beers our friends ABV Chicago brought us in exchange for some locals while they were in town! We kick this episode off with Hop Butcher for the World's Green Moss and it makes us think about getting a flavor wheel again. Nick tells a story about food poisoning and not being smart.

Alex ran into Aadam Soorma and revisited his Goldmark experience before telling Nick about his experience with 2 Frays Brewing in Garfield. We share our appreciation for being at the bar and the service industry handling it as good as they can. From there, we're on to beer #3 which is a wild collab between Half Acre and Morton Salt called It Pours. This one was WILD and we both felt the same about it. We take a palate cleanser break with Mental Titans from Old Thunder and then we talk about the pricing of deodorant and general hygiene soaps and solutions. Beer number 4 is Supermassive Cafe Deth from Revolution Brewing with Dark Matter Coffee. After being wowed by this Revolution stout, Nick drops a gift from @hellobrewtifulpgh, the Platform x Prantl's collab. We called Jen to get her reaction to Alex drinking this beer.

This week, it's more games we've played, a game that only Members can play, how hated is Pandemic and gaming around sleep schedules.

Jonny Boucher is the CEO and founder of Hope For the Day, a non-profit organization based in Chicago that focuses on raising the visibility of resources and information to break the silence of stigma surrounding depression and anxiety. They've partnered with Dark Matter Coffee to create the only coffee shop of it's kind in Logan Square, where 100% of profits go to suicide prevention. Check out this incredible organization at hftd.org.

Collaborations o'plenty this episode. We grabbed all of the bottles we could here locally to bring you a collab trifecta. We've got beers from all over the state... or mostly, from the North of the state.To open our show we talk about, Double O Session IPA from Sun King Brewery out of Indianapolis and Revolution Brewing out of Chicago. Session IPA is a very apt description and each brewery was able to maintain their identity in this beer while the marriage of the two brought out a very distinct taste.That beer is promptly and professionally followed by a joint effort from Deviate Brewing and Black Acre Brewing both out of Indiana. This Quadruple IPA is named, Hop Lunacy and for very good reason. This one is a "right of passage" type IPA and probably tastes like nothing you've had before.This episode is finished off with a collaboration between 3 Floyds Brewing and Dark Matter Coffee out of Chicago. The Mastodon Crack The Skye is a very good beer, but this beer caused some argument among the group.Sit back and enjoy what may be our most beer centered beer podcast ever. Be sure to listen, rate, share, and subscribe.

The Legend of the Bluegrass has his last show in the dungeon as he prepares for school! The beer professor is in, and we discuss a few beers, one in particular that is a collaboration between Dark Matter Coffee and 18th street brewing company!

"Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on." - Henry Rollins General Admission is back with a new season! We've got so much planned for you guys so get those headphone ready, subscribe and share. For our first official episode back Don sits down with singer and storytelling powerhouse Henry Rollins and Chicago rock venue legend Joe Shanahan. Shanahan is the owner of Metro, a venue anchored within the Chicago music scene. In this episode you'll hear a discussion surrounding the relationship between bands and the venues that house them. Henry talks how his band needed venues like The Metro in order to make enough money for a Denny's Grand Slam breakfast and gas to make it to the next gig. Places like the Metro also need the bands and musicians so they can keep the lights on. It's a symbiotic relationship. This interview is part of an ongoing series of intimate conversation to be held at the Metro and sponsored by Dark Matter Coffee and Shure.
