Episode 298 - 2020 Holiday Special with Joel Shelton Happy Almost 2021, Thieves! It's a holiday tradition around these parts to close out a calendar year with a visit by Joel Shelton. We weren't going to let a pandemic or the recent closure of his brother's beer import business get in the way. We dialed up Joel to talk about the shit show of the year that was. He has some stories. Since the postal service stranded Justin's Bodega beers (Hey, we have tote bags available) at some sorting facility near the Gowanus Canal for weeks, we had to dip into our cellars to open something special. From talking about reconnecting with his music career, to holiday traditions, and what the future might hold for travel, beers coming to our shores, and more Joel was a real delight to connect with as usual. So, open up something from your cellar and toast us as we end 2020 and get ready for the new year. Cheers!

This week Jimmy and his guests went on a 11-country European tasting tour with Miguel Rivas, the Beer Trekker who documents his world travels on Instagram. They were joined in the studio by international and domestic beer importers BR Rolya, Joel Shelton, and Lars Dahlhaus. The conversation got deep. It dove into the current state of European and American craft brewing, exports, and imports. Decades ago Jimmy was only drinking German beers, but American craft beers have exploded onto the scene. So much so that a lot of brewers are making IPAs in places like Barcelona. More traditional countries like Germany or Belgium, that are already saturated in rich brewery and beer culture, continue to produce lager and pilsners among other brews that are harder to make with the same quality in the states. They tell colorful stories of the villages and towns that treat beer like it’s part of the family and not just a business. Tastings range from the earthy La Moneuse from Blaugies, Belgium to the 2017 Historical Thomas Hardy’s barley wine from England.

Germany used to have a lot of breweries, and nowadays they all produce less than they did years ago. But they don’t understand why they’re losing so much. They see themselves as the victim.” — Sebastian Sauer on Beer Sessions Radio “The brewers in Germany don’t seem to get that people want something different, something that’s not being offered to them. We were just talking about how the same thing happened here [in the U.S.]. It had boiled down to a few suppliers that were brewing basically the same beer.” — Ted Kenny on Beer Sessions Radio “You can be creative and be unique and people will respond.” — David Yarrington on Beer Sessions Radio
