Welcome to Mikerphone Brewing where music and beer come together seamlessly. Located just outside of Chicago in Elk Grove Village, this brewery crafts all genres of beer alongside all genres of music.Welcome to the second episode in our series of podcasts where we have partnered up with Malteurop Malting Company (MMC) to highlight some phenomenal craft breweries for American Craft Beer Week, May 16-22.Meet Mike Pallen from Mikerphone BrewingStarting out in the music and marketing world, Mike still always had an inkling towards brewing. His dad worked at Miller when Mike was young, and therefore, told him to not do beer, and to go to college instead.Mike listened but still got into home brewing in college and then graduated from that into home brewing out of his basement, ultimately making the jump to his own brewery, Mikerphone.Music and Beer And if brewing had a hold on him, music did even more. Combining his two passions together, music and beer, Mikerphone Brewing just outside of Chicago became real. But not by any traditional means. Well, sorta. He did start home brewing out of his basement. But on the other hand, he also won highly acclaimed awards for his beer before he even had a location. He did finally have a brewing business, but no home for said brewery.This is Mike's story of how he and his wife, Lisa, brought two passions together to create one. Join us as we chat music, beer, musical marketing, life and parenting skills, Malteurop malts (they're sexier than you think), and so much more.The Riney-Hiney Purity Law and MalörtPlus, you won't want to miss our announcement at the beginning about Beer Now, nor our hilarious (we think so) conversation about the riney-hiney purity law (made up word) but it deserves to be a little goofy, because we got a little goofy trying to pronounce it and decipher it.

Mikerphone has become notorious for being willing to toss anything edible (and usually sweet) into a beer, but they're not all style with no substance. For this episode, we tried to sample a more stripped-down version of Mikerphone, choosing five beers without much added (except for the occasional dry hop or barrel treatment). There are many delightful reminders that sometimes simple is better, but we also muck it up with a forced auction, the art of CD tracks, the seasons of Dexter*, a new future for Hellraiser, bad song parodies, and a game about MTV Unplugged in the 90s. Welcome to the five-timers club, Mikerphone! Beers Reviewed Jagged Little Pils (Dry-hopped pilsner) Naked and Famous (Berliner Weisse) Misty Mountain Hop (IPA) Barrel-Aged Flipped The Switch (Imperial Czech-Style Dark Lager aged in Smoke Wagon Bourbon Barrels) Barrel-Aged Imperial Smells Like Birthday Suit Spirit (Imperial Stout aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels) *I was wrong about the Dexter.

What does a specialty beer for International Women's Day taste like? What's the best beer festival to attend? Charolette Converse has you covered. Charolette Converse is the Manager of Marketing and Corporate Events at Mikerphone Brewing and the woman behind the curtain when it comes to Mikerphone's social media and events. Although the pandemic canceled Mikerphone's Smells Like a Beer Fest, Charolette didn't let that stop her from growing the brewery's brand — and now, Mikerphone's social media presence is stronger than ever. On this episode of Pitcher This!, Darren Fox talks with Charolette Converse, Manager of Marketing and Corporate Events at Mikerphone Brewing. Charolette discusses marketing tactics, her specialty beer for International Women's Day, Mikerphone's plans for 2021, and much more. Stay tuned!
The Bruery had a threesome with Moksa and Mikerphone. The results is a coconut, vanilla bean, milk sugar and oat milk imperial stout called Three's Cocompany. Kinky. New to the EU market is a brewery out of Minneapolis, MN called Fair State Brewing Cooperative. They have released a bourbon barrel-aged pastry stout with vanilla called Heckin' Chonkers. It's a sweet boozy pastry stout and gives us great hope we'll get more from this brewery.
Mikerphone Brewing's Mike Pallen is inspired by music Mikerphone Brewing founder and owner Mike Pallen didn't set out to be a brewer. Although his dad worked at Miller, he didn't want his son to follow in his footsteps and urged him to go to college. So Pallen did just that. After getting his degree he began a career in the music industry with the ultimate goal to work at Capitol Records in Los Angeles. That didn't happen. However, along the way he found his love for brewing and after working at a couple of Chicago breweries he decided to start his own. Music was still very much in his blood and that inspires every beer made at Mikerphone. Each beer is named after a song our group. The artwork reflects the names with some familiar nods as well as some that take a bit of thought. The artists portrayed on the beers have been mostly supportive. When Pallen received an email from Eminem's management over his Slim Hazy beer he expected a request to cease and desist. Instead, they loved the name and even met with Pallen in New York. Mikerphone Brewing's Mike Pallen having fun with some barrels. (Photo: Mikerphone Brewing) The allure of Smells Like Bean Spirit If you have limited knowledge of Mikerphone's beers you probably know of Smells Like Bean Spirit stout. The label reflects Nirvana's Nevermind album, very accurately. "Bean Spirit" has seen many variations with different coffees and adjuncts. Pallen put a lot of work into the best method to use to get the coffee into Bean Spirit to get the best flavor and minimize the possibly of bringing the green pepper taste that can happen. It worked. We sampled the Barrel Aged Super Imperial Smells Like Bean Spirit as we talked. It's thick and luscious and paints the inside of your glass while delivering huge dark chocolate, coffee, and maple. Mikerphone has plenty more to come in this series. Mikerphone Brewing Malört Crush Crush Crush is coming for your enjoyment. (Photo: Mikerphone Brewing) Beer aged in Malört barrels? If you know Malört you'd think it would be the the last barrel a brewer would reach for to age their beer. But when the distiller reached out to Pallen to see if he wanted first crack at some to age beer he didn't hesitant to jump at the opportunity. The brewery received excellent feedback on the first beer they did in the barrels, a Pilsner. Coming up are a milkshake IPA and solera saison, and Smells Like Bean Spirit will get the Malört treatment as well. Pallen said he can't wait to showcase, and for others to see, what the barrels impart to their base beers. The pandemic may prevent a huge party but Mikerphone is going to celebrate their 6th anniversary the best they can. They're brewing up six beers for the occasion that will be available at the brewery. Pallen is also starting to think of a second location for the brewery in Wisconsin and he reveals the name he has in mind as well as the awesome concept.

Sadly, neither Brad nor Nik made it to Emporium for Darkside but it sounded like it was a blast. It was a jammed packed week and because of that the guys skipped over some of the events happening this weekend. As winter’s end is in sight, we are starting to see more and more events.

During FOBAB week I got a chance to do an episode with Bottle Logic while they did a collaboration beer at More Brewing. Well, while doing that, Mike Pallen from Mikerphone happen to walk into the More taproom, so I asked for a minute of his time as well. What happened was an awesome 1 hour conversation between Shaun Berns (More Brewing), Mike Pallen (Mikerphone Brewing), and Brandon Buckner (Bottle Logic Brewing).

A regular chucklefest ensued when i sat down with Mike Pallen and the Mikerphone crew, Kyle and Mike #2. What a fun group of guys to drink beer with. They were very honest, and they even shared some breaking Mikerphone news. We covered the Smells like a Beer Festival coming at the end of April, and how each of them got their start in the beer world. Really great story tellers and just some all around authentic guys!

While many of their friends were starting breweries and gaining notoriety, Brent Banks and Ryan Jacobs were honing their craft as home brewers while juggling jobs in finance and the medical field. At the urging of their comrades, the pair finally decided to go pro and start Saint Errant Brewing. Currently, they contract brew out of the Mikerphone space in Elk Grove Village, and as of mid-August, they released their first (solo) offering, Strange Loops, in bottles and kegs. We sat down with Brent and Ryan to taste through several recent brews and test batches to discover that starting a brewery in 2017 isn’t so crazy when the beers taste this excellent. We cover a lot here including the difficulties of beer names, the significance of yeast variables, Chicago’s perplexing lack of love for sours, where to shop for the best peaches, and how those Vermont trips with Fitz helped them dial in their New England style IPA recipes. (Shout out to Julio Rosenstein!) Beers Sampled Get It Together (Double IPA with mangos/collaboration with Mikerphone) Strange Loops (Double IPA) Mr. Hanalei (Berliner-style sour ale with guava, passionfruit, and naranjilla) Pitseleh (Sour saison with peaches) Between Waves (Milkshake IPA with apricot, lactose, and vanilla)
This podcast episode features the creators of the Screw City Beer Fest, Aaron Sleger and Chris Wachowiak. We preview the their 7th fest which is happening on Sep. 9, 2017 which features 55 breweries, Forest City Brewers and their 16 home brews, and food, music and fun, We also dip back in time to find out how this popular event (it sold out in 22 minutes) got its start and what it took to make it work...and keep it in-demand. The show also includes awesome discussion and tastings of some highly-coveted craft beer from Mikerphone - One Man Wrecking Machine, Pipeworks - As You Wish, Marz - The Machine, Metropolitan - Heliostat, Pig Minds - Sweep the Leg, as well as some home brew and other libatious donations. All of these breweries will be present and accounted for at this year's Screw City Beer Fest - here's the full line-up. All this and more accompanied by samples of fresh tracks from Rockford-based band, Law & Love. DRINK IT UP!
Mike Pallen opened the doors on the tasting room for his new Elk Grove Village brewery back in March, and the rarest thing - besides some of his beers - is finding an open seat at the bar. We sat down with Mike at the new location to dive deep into what makes Mikerphone Brewing something like a phenomenon. And you’ll find out why opening a tasting room was the best thing Mikerphone has ever done. Over many bottles, we discuss the New England styles that have helped make a name for the brand, how he intends to try and fill the demand for Smells Like Bean Spirit (while creating more demand for some upcoming, crazy barrel-aged versions), the future of packaging for Mikerphone, how he uses Untappd for QC, his plans on establishing a flagship beer or two, what’s to come with distribution of his highly-coveted beers, and much more. At some point, we lose sight of the whole “interview” part of the show, and Mike just slides right into the 3rd host chair by joining us on diversions about New Glarus, Easter eggs on labels, music references, Skittles, and the local “gentleman’s club.” So, open up a few hazy ones because we hope you enjoy this longplayer even a fraction as much as we enjoyed recording it. Beers Featured Beautiful Oblivion (Imperial Stout w/ almonds, cocoa nibs, & vanilla) DDH IPA ABC BBD (Double Dry-Hopped IPA with Mosaic and Motueka Hops) Spacebar (Galaxy-Hopped DIPA) Educated Fool (Double Dry-Hopped Double IPA with Ekuanot Hops) Vinyl Frontier (Lactose Double IPA w/ El Dorado Hops Creamsicle IPA (collaboration with Untitled Art)

Check. Check. Is this thing on? Everybody wants some Mikerphone Brewing, and we find out exactly why on this episode. With a mixed 4-track of Mike Pallen’s beers, we have our asses rocked by a few of the best beers we’ve had in a long, long time. We share an update on Mikerphone’s new location, and discuss New England style IPAs, beers as musical instruments, and the fault of first impressions in craft beer. But then there’s some disgusting stuff about buckets, Gloria Estefan, Halloween masks, and girdles. Also, there’s some weak high fives, Craig’s day of action, and a game about Nirvana lyrics. Goodnight, Chicago! Beers Reviewed Nature’s Candy Peach Berliner Weisse Special Sauce Double IPA G Funk Era Golden Ale (w/ grapefruit) Smells Like Bean Spirit (Batch 3) Breakfast Stout
