The Headlines: "Divorce Dust" TikTok Trend Is Taking Over – Read more Trader Joe’s Is Turning Their Most Popular Treat Into A Beer – Read more A "John Wick" Experience Is Now Open In Las Vegas – Read more "Divorce Dust" TikTok Trend Is Taking Over A new TikTok trend called "Divorce Dust" has women covering themselves in glitter before going on dates — and it’s exactly as messy as it sounds. The idea behind it? If a man is married or in a relationship and gets intimate with someone covered in glitter, the evidence will likely transfer back home, raising suspicion with his partner. Women are intentionally using glitter on their bodies and clothes, hoping to leave a "glitter trail" that could expose cheating. Some TikTokers are calling it genius, while others think it’s messy and over-the-top. Either way, the glitter trend is gaining traction fast — and might just be the sparkly downfall of some unfaithful partners.

Every president has had a unique and complicated relationship with the intelligence community. While some have been coolly distant, even adversarial, others have found their intelligence agencies to be among the most valuable instruments of policy and power.The details of most PDBs are highly classified, and will remain so for many years. But the process by which the intelligence community develops and presents the Book is a fascinating look into the operation of power at the highest levels. David Priess, a former intelligence officer and daily briefer, has interviewed every living president and vice president as well as more than one hundred others intimately involved with the production and delivery of the president's book of secrets. He offers an unprecedented window into the decision making of every president from Kennedy to Obama, with many character-rich stories revealed here for the first time.HOST:  Rob MellonFEATURED BREW:  Singel Belgian-style Blonde Ale, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, Richmond, VirginiaBOOK:  The President's Book of Secrets: The Untold Story of Intelligence Briefings to American Presidentshttps://www.amazon.com/Presidents-Book-Secrets-Intelligence-Briefings/dp/161039769X/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=MUSIC:  Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

Good morning, RVA! It’s 40 °F, but highs today should hit somewhere in the mid 60s. Wonderful! The entire weekend, really, looks pleasant and filled with good opportunities to spend some time outside.Water coolerAs of this morning, the Virginia Department of Health reports 1,954↗️ new positive cases of the coronavirus in the Commonwealth and 36↗️ new deaths as a result of the virus. VDH reports 176↗️ new cases in and around Richmond (Chesterfield: 68, Henrico: 53, and Richmond: 55). Since this pandemic began, 446 people have died in the Richmond region. Here’s this week’s stacked chart of Virginia’s daily reported positive cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. This week I’ve focused on the new hospitalizations data, and yesterday, for the first time since since back in July, the state reported over 100 new hospitalizations in a single day. That scares me, especially as the Central Region creeps up towards having 90% of its hospital beds occupied. I wonder if we’ll start seeing folks begin dusting off some of those early, springtime plans to convert the Convention Center into an emergency field hospital? Locally, we’re seeing consistent, springlike new case numbers—also scary.A bunch of interesting emails showed up in VPM’s Roberto Roldan’s inbox yesterday. The first, from the state Democratic Party, calling for Richmond’s General Registrar to resign after this month’s rough and confusing election process. The second, from the Party’s lawyers laying out some of their legal concerns. The third, in which City Council candidates Tarvaris Spinks and Amy Wentz, who saw their vote totals bounce around after Election Day in a weird and concerning way, joined the call for the Registrar’s resignation. Not in Roldan’s inbox, but fellow VPM reporter Alan Rodriguez Espinoza says, “During his COVID-19 press briefing, Mayor Levar Stoney says he agrees with calls for the General Registrar to step down.” Finally, a note from the Registrar herself saying she will not resign and is currently recovering from COVID-19. As for who gets to decide the Registrar’s fate, Chris Suarez at the Richmond Times-Dispatch says: “In Virginia, registrars are appointed by local three-member electoral boards. Circuit court judges appoint the board members, but state law requires that two members of the board belong to the same party as the governor, so local party officials typically recommend candidates for appointment…The boards, according to state law, are permitted to remove by majority vote any registrar or election officers who do not comply with election law.”NPR, like, national NPR, has a story about how folks living in Richmond’s redlined neighborhoods—today!—have dramatically lower life expectancy than folks living in, say, the West End. It’s pretty bad: “They compared the [redlining] maps to the current economic status and health outcomes in those neighborhoods today and found higher rates of poverty, shorter life spans and higher rates of chronic diseases including asthma, diabetes, hypertension, obesity and kidney disease.” The two most important maps for understanding Richmond, in my opinion, are the 1930s redlining map and the map of annexation. Understand those two maps and you understand a ton about why things are the way they are.The City has hired Jason Alley as “a provisional policy advisor to liaise between the restaurant community and city administration. In this position, he will assist in innovating and implementing safe ways to support restauranteurs and their staff during this challenging time for the restaurant industry.” You might know Jason Alley as the chef and co-owner of both Comfort and Pasture (RIP) and Bingo Beer Co., plus he’s been featured on some Duke’s Mayonnaise commercials. I think he might be as close to a celebrity chef as we have in Richmond. Karri Peifer at the Richmond Times-Dispatch says the job’s CARES Act funded and will, at least for now, end before the start of the new year. I dunno! I’m trying not to be cynical over here! I hope Alley has more success working with the City on creating safe, outdoor space for folks over the next couple of weeks than did a mess of advocates throughout the entire spring, summer, and fall. Lots of (most?) cities figured this out months ago, so it’s not like we need to invent rocket science: Make it dead easy for restaurants to remove parking to make space for distancing while eating and drinking—bonus points if you can help businesses keep folks warm while outside through these winter months. There’s a whole separate conversation we can and should have about how this new work plays out equitably across the city. We can’t just suddenly pop up a bunch of new outdoor dining in Scott’s Addition and call it a day. See the previous paragraph!An update on the Richmond Police Department’s External Advisory Board, which, remember, does not replace the ongoing work to create a Civilian Review Board: Earlier this week the RPD released the names of the EAB’s members(Facebook). Police leadership and EAB membership had previously balked at taking this board public due to some reasonable worries about potential harassment.Ned Oliver at the Virginia Mercury, who may officially have the weed beat, asks eight interesting questions to consider as the General Assembly gets ready to debate legalizing marijuana.For the past bunch of years, Better Housing Coalition has hosted the Gingerbread House Challenge, which raises funds for a good cause (BHC) and tests folks' baked architecture and sugar construction skills. It’s like making a show stopper in the Great British Baking Show, but without any of the crushing stress or unreasonable timelines. Plus, if you win, you get to take home a $1,000 prize curtesy of Hardywood Park Craft Brewery. This year BHC has waived the entry fee but is asking teams to raise $250 for the good of the cause. Teams have until November 27th to register.This morning’s longread‘We deserve it’: Larimer residents reflect on the neighborhood’s history and the long fight for redevelopmentDo you need an inspirational community housing story to take you into the weekend?But much has changed in recent years, largely due to grassroots advocacy from residents to spur development projects like the transformation of the former Larimer School into housing and the building of the Cornerstone Village mixed-income housing complex. Both projects are being funded in part with a $30 million grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. “We deserve it,” Dolores Marinello, 80, said. “We’ve waited a long time. We fought hard to get the money to redevelop, the whole community did.” She calls the projects “a dream.” But in reality, they’re the result of years of work by Larimer community members who refused to let their neighborhood be forgotten even through hard economic times and lack of government investment.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

Today is Friday, October 16, and we’re looking at Yuengling vs. Hardywood Park Craft Brewery.

If you are at all familiar with our show, then you probably know that Keith works for Trader Joe’s. If you are at all familiar with Trader Joe’s, then you probably know that they have several products that have fervent, dare we say, cult-like followings. One of the products that has been high on the list of “must haves” (or at the very least “must tries) since its inception several years ago is Cookie Butter, which is a spread made from crushed spice cookies, among other things. Cookie butter has found its way into numerous other products such as cheesecake and ice cream, much to the delight of its fans. A few months back, Andrew mentioned to Keith that he had heard that a cookie butter beer was going to be released soon and that once it was available we had to try it for one of our shows. There were some delays in the beer actually getting to Arizona and once it did the quantities were limited, but we are happy to be able to have one that we are sharing with you. On this episode we will try the Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter Beer, which is an imperial ale. This beer has been in development for quite some time and initially was going to be a porter or stout, but ultimately it was decided that this style would be a better platform to showcase the flavor profile of cookie butter. Brewed in Richmond, Virginia by Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, it checks in at 9.5% ABV. What did we think? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below or join us live on Thursday nights to give us your feedback while we are live streaming on Twitch.

00:00:00 - Phosphine has been detected in the atmosphere of Venus, where it shouldn’t exist. How could it have formed in detectable quantities? One explanation could be microbes living in a habitable zone high in the Venusian atmosphere, so that’s neat. 00:25:00 - Drinks would not exist for long on Venus due to the extreme heat, but here on Earth they go down just fine. Ben has a horchata-flavored drink which sounds delightful. Charlie has some coffee roasted by a buddy of his who is now selling his beans online at The Deer and the Bear, check it out! And Ryan has The Great Return IPA from Hardywood Park Craft Brewery which helps support restorations efforts of the James River in Richmond, VA, so that’s good. 00:32:53 - Our moon is a notably dry place with no oxygen, but an Indian probe recently detected hematite, aka rust, at the lunar poles. How could rust form in such an environment? Orbital dynamics and Earth’s magnetotail may provide the answer. 00:46:29 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like rust on the moon, you’re surprised to find it and not sure what to do with it now that you have it. First, Ryan thanks Rocky LaDuque for reposting Episode 77 to his own SoundCloud page, didn’t even know that was a thing but very grateful for it! Next, Charlie reads an e-mail from Stephanie from Travelcraft Journal who found us because we used her photo (with credit) when talking about the science behind spilled lattes. Finally, we come up with a BSso thesis for longtime supporter and homebrewer Richard P. who has earned his fake degree with a thesis entitled: Random Underdeveloped Simulation Test (RUST): Density and Temperature Gradient Stratification of S. cerevisiae during the fermentation of beer as an analog model for Phosine-generating microbial life in the atmosphere of Venus.

In this conversation with Hardywood Park Craft Brewery's (https://hardywood.com) Kate Lee, vice president of operations and quality, and Brian Nelson, vice president and head brewer, they dive into a variety of brewing challenges. Their flagship Gingerbread Stout starts the conversation, as they work through their process of establishing and maintaining a brand standard for something that is difficult to quantify, then talk about compensating for year-to-year changes in key ingredients, such as the fresh ginger they source from a local farm. Scaling the recipe up for their new brewhouse was a particular challenge, and they recount, they learned the hard way. Sometimes, however, mistakes turn into hunches which pay dividends later on, as with a batch of base stout in the new brewery that started at 40°P (1.179)—much higher than they expected the first time around, but which has since become a go-to blending beer for their barrel-aged releases. One beer they’re particularly known for is their Raspberry Stout, and here they talk about the challenges of adding whole fruit to the beer—from pasteurizing the fruit before conditioning using a small jacketed fermenter, to de-seeding the fruit for best results. Lager is big for Hardywood Park, and they discuss both Hardywood Pils and Richmond Lager—beers that easily outsell the small-batch hazy IPAs which with they also experiment.

They say he’s a man with a thousand voices - can we convince him to do some of them? Yes it’s our old buddy Scott Apicella with Hardywood Park Craft Brewery! Scott’s at the bar to tell us all the latest from Richmond, and he makes us very happy with some super treats: the all-new Suncrush line, including Tangerine, Grapefruit, and Ginger Lime; Richmond Lager; and a true fave, the Baltic Sunrise Baltic Porter! The fallout continues from the Superb Owl ads for Bud Light by A-B InBev, in our new #corngate segment! This week we are featuring none other than Jim Koch, the legendary founder of Sam Adams writing a blog post: Corntroversy - Deja Vu? Next up is another sad brewery closure, this time via OPB reporting that BridgePort Brewing Company in Portland OR is closing. We then head south to San Francisco where Eater reveals that workers at Anchor Brewing are moving to unionize. The Thirsty Wench (thanks Michael!) shares what she calls the sexist & asinine ramblings in Great Lakes Brewing News with a follow up story from WKBW on WNY breweries cutting ties with the magazine after the aforementioned article. We wind up show this week with Thrillist’s 9 craft beer trends you'll be tired of in 2019! Last week we asked you “what do you think about A-B’s latest ad Bud Light ad - brilliant marketing? Meh? Does corn even bother anyone?” In honor of us hitting our milestone 300th episode next week, we want to ask if you have a favorite moment/guest/episode/beer from our show? Please share it with us!

011 Kate Lee After our wine episode, we figured it was time to give Richmond beer its due, and what better place to start than one of the breweries that put the Richmond beer scene on the map? Kate Lee, Vice President of Operations and Quality at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, is the woman in charge of just about everything that goes into making Hardywood beer: quality testing of everything, from the ingredients to the final product; plus all the less exciting but extremely crucial stuff like sanitation, good manufacturing practices, compliance with government standards—the list goes on. A food scientist who worked for Anheuser-Busch for over a decade before coming to Hardywood, Kate spent an afternoon chatting with us about the Richmond beer scene, Gingerbread Stout, the growth of Hardywood, her obsession with fermentation, her favorite beers around town, and her son named Porter (that’s how much she loves beer).

Caroline and Ashley sit down with Ben Crawford (current Phantom of the Opera on Broadway) to talk about the cast's involvement with the Broadway Brews Project. Created by the Happy Hour Guys, Broadway Brews Project pairs a Broadway cast and a brewery to create a beer that benefits charity. The Phantom cast and Hardywood Park Craft Brewery out of Richmond, VA created the Pint of No Return, a black lager that symbolizes the Phantom's duality.

We are so excited about the success we have had with our friends from Hardywood Park Craft Brewery! And we celebrate this week with our Hardywood friend (and Mims alum) Scott Apicella! Scott reveals all the latest from Virginia and opens a cooler filled with treats: Cuvee Gold, Farmhouse Pumpkin, Crasseux Grisette, and Prim Looking Stargazer! There is much fun news for us in the beer world this week beginning in The Houston Chronicle’s profile of a a San Antonio company that is taking its bakery-to-brewery model nationwide! We follow that with VinePair showing us that ‘stovepipe’ cans are here because craft beer wants to party, and then The Advocate (Baton Rouge) praises thirty-three breweries that are releasing one collaborative brew for Louisiana Craft Beer Week! Next up is The Marin Independent Journal on craft beer culture lagging in Europe, followed by Eureka Alert having a prehistoric thirst for craft beer. We wind down the week with The Dayton Daily News demonstrating why Warped Wing's beers went globe-trotting on vacation and People Magazine (!) and the news that the famous NY bar Black Tap is serving an over-the-top “Mean Girls” milkshake and it's so fetch! We love your answers to last week’s #caskquiz “what’s your coolest beer gadget? High tech or low!” This week we want to know “what’s your optimal can (or bottle) size for craft beer?” We so love hearing from you!

It took years of cajoling, and it has paid off! Eric McKay and Patrick Murtaugh, the co-founders of Hardywood Park Craft Brewery are here at the bar and in our market at last! The guys discuss their history together, the founding of the brewery, and the mythical story of their trip to Australia. And we get to try an incredible flight of their beers including Pils, VIPA, None of This Makes Sense, Virginia Blackberry Belgian White Ale, Peach Tripel, and Tropic Like It’s Hot Sour Ale! The World Cup dominates the beer news this week! But first we begin with The Takeout (thanks @sfringer!) believing that craft lager is an oxymoron no more. Next up The Daily Beast asks are craft beer bottles an endangered species? Then we go to Europe during the World Cup competition with U.S. News and World Report revealing that beer is running dry in Moscow, followed by The Independent reporting that the UK is facing a beer shortage during World Cup and barbecue season, and we close with The Drum’s surprising news that Carlsberg has created a caviar beer to fish for fans at the Russian World Cup! We have your answers to last week’s #caskquiz which asked “have you ever visited a farm brewery?  Which one?” This week we ask “who is your World Cup team and what beer are you drinking to cheer them on?” We so love hearing from you!

Hardywood Park is determined to 'Brew With Purpose' Hardywood Park Craft Brewery's founders Eric McKay and Patrick Murtaugh have known each other most of their lives.  After sampling some homebrew on a farm in Australia the stage was set.  After many years working in the craft beer industry, they were destined to open their own brewery.  McKay became Richmond, Virginia's first Certified Cicerone and while attending brewing school Murtaugh found out his family's brewing history goes back several generations. From the time they opened in 2011, Hardywood Park has strived to 'Brew With Purpose.'  They implement that mantra in their recipes, employee and customer relations, brewing with local ingredients, and minimizing their impact on the environment.  The brewery has grown to include three locations and expanded distribution offering a huge variety of styles and variants.  Their sought-after Gingerbread Stout taught them about dealing with hordes of consumers and is still anticipated each year. McKay and Murtaugh visited the Beer Guys Radio studios on their recent Atlanta market launch.  We sampled several of their beers while talking about their history, brewery growth, keeping up with demand, future expansion plans, brewing for Broadway, Brian shares a terrible collaboration suggestion, and we invent the Candall™. In the news, Brian gives us the scoop on ABInBev dirty tactics, NOFX acting foolish and getting the boot from beer sponsors, and Boston Beer Co.'s big fines in New York.

When it comes to beer, there is plenty on which we can disagree. Tastes, smells, brands, breweries—these are all things beer lovers embrace and debate on a regular basis. But one thing we can all agree on? We just want good beer. But even on that, there's plenty of subjectivity. Or is there? What makes a beer "good" or "bad" is often put into the context of our taste buds, not always with analysis through a literal and figurative microscope. This is where Kate Lee excels. She's a trained scientist who spent more than a decade working for Anheuser-Busch, a business famously known for its focus on consistency and quality from batch to batch. Since 2014, she's helped lead a quality program for Richmond, Virginia's Hardywood Park Craft Brewery, building on an existing foundation to take Hardywood's focus on quality to the next level. As director of quality assurance and director of operations, her job at the brewery has consistently evolved as production levels and brewer ambitions have grown. It's not just about running tests, but collaborating with staff to ensure the right ingredients are producing the right beer every step of the way. And as you'll hear, that's not always an easy decision.
