Today’s conversation is another one of those times when I feel profoundly grateful that I get to close the loop with someone that takes me back ten years or more—to when a seed got planted, or a relationship got established, and a decade later we’re able to look back and connect the dots on a story that would have been impossible to imagine playing out the way it did. It’s a reminder for me that I get every so often of the importance of doing good, human, connective things with our work even, and maybe especially if, we don’t know how it’s going to effect someone. But if we do get a chance to see the end result—or at least a milestone—it can be incredibly edifying and soul-confirming. That’s not to say that what Rob Brennan of Supermoon Beer Company is doing is the end of anything—in fact, it’s just about to begin. But as you’ll hear in this conversation, so much of the way in which he tells the story of Supermoon involves telling the story of others, and how they were a kind of spiritual journey to where he ended up—even if many of the people in his life suspected it the whole time. Rob’s journey to Supermoon takes place within a community of people that admired him. My own witness to his journey started at a home-brew party threw with some friends. It was a high concept affair that I’ve never really encountered the likes of since. And it showed how much Rob cares about the beer, but also the context and experience of that beer. He came to Good Beer Hunting’s annual camping trip called Olly Olly, which we host with our friends at Camp Wandawega each fall—although certainly not this fall—in which he met the co-founding team from Penrose Brewing, Tom Korder and Eric Hobbs, and so began his inevitable journey into the professional side of brewing. He was a stop of the Joshua-Bernstein-inspired tour we hosted in Chicago called Homebrew-to-Pro, featuring people who had started breweries, or “gone pro” from their home brewing roots - like Jerry Nelson of Une Anne and Gary Gulley of Alarmist Brewing. But after he cycled out of Penrose and moved north to Milwaukee, it started to seem like the vision for starting a brewery that most of us, his friends had, was maybe also cycling out. Maybe that’s just what we wanted for him—but it wasn’t what he wanted. Maybe we were gonna have to let it go and let him live his life. But a couple months ago—something popped up on his Instagram that looked suspiciously like something that might become a brewery after all. And I can tell you that my heart skipped a beat. It’s about a week away from opening. And the beers are fantastic. This is Rob Brennan of Supermoon, listen in. One quick note before we jump in: this is being recorded during the now worst spike of the pandemic—so me and Rob were being extremely cautious—which means we recorded this outside in the cold, so you will hear some background noise here and there—a breeze, some chirpy birds, a contractor hammering down the street and a car or two driving down the alley we were next to. We did our best dear listener, so thanks for your generosity.
Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White are joined by Tom Korder, Brewmaster and Co-founder of Penrose Brewing. The guys talk about Tom Korder’s beer history that took him from AB to Goose Island and then starting his own brewery in Geneva. All that history comes with some great experience and it shows with the terrific beers he’s brewing and the awards that are being won. Since we’re doing this interview during the pandemic, we are safely at home, but the guys talk about the effects this has had on Penrose and how they are getting prepared to re-open for on premises consumption.Brad and Nik have always been fans of the beers that Tom has brewed and it’s great to catch up. If you’re looking to visit a brewery that is opening and kicking out some great beers, Penrose would be worth the trip, especially as the weather gets nicer, you can also take a walk around the Fox River.Having issues listening to the audio?

Belgium is a tiny country. You might think of chocolate as its most famous export, but beer is just as important, if not more so. There are nearly 200 breweries in this country of about 11 million people, so you know beer there is practically a religion. Coming up on this week’s show, we dive deep into the world of Belgian beers, with a few experts. We’ll talk to a legendary bar owner, Michael Roper, who carries more Belgian beers on his list than just about any bar in the U.S. Then we’ll meet a pair of brewers, each of whom are producing some Belgian-style beers, right here in the middle of the country. Claudia Jendron, the Head Brewer at Pipeworks Brewing in Chicago, and Tom Korder, the Founder of Penrose Brewery in bucolic Geneva, Illinois, who'll tell us about Belgian-style session ales, aged in oak barrels with alternative fermentation.
In this episode, Bob & Doug take a journey through beer on the weekend prior to Election Day 2018. Penrose Brewing offers "West Coast Jake" a West Coast IPA for the guys to try. Then, in the Research Protocol Alpha X it's Surly's "Todd the Axe Man" against Central Waters "Mudpuppy Porter." Along the way Bob tells his old-lady-at-the-polls story and we find out that Bob doesn't like wings. Freak! #craftbeer, #ipa, #podcast, #beer, #beergeek, #brewing
What an Episode! Tom and Jake were outstanding. They rolled out the Beer Red Carpet for us, and let us sit in the Barrel House #1 while doing the podcast. Meanwhile they broke out bottles of some of the best beers I have ever had. Including some "Wild" Stuff, some Jester King, River City, and a collab with Une Annee. We tried their The Dorado and Vanta, which were outstanding, but most importanly we talked, for a long time. I also want to thank my guy, Mike Maxwell, for tagging along and adding to the conversation. These guys were so gracious with their time touching on the beer industry as a whole, their starts in the business, what's coming down the pipeline, and a little of what they do when they are not elbows deep in Hops. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American transcendentalist, has an interesting way of describing what progress looks like — he paints a picture of a boat, tacking back and forth with the wind, as it makes its way across the ocean. From a distance, it appears to go in a straight arching line towards its pre-determined destination. But of course, up close, it’s a thousand little zigs and zags, working with the momentum of the wind in order to propel itself forward. The final destination may be determined — but it’s place on the horizon is only ever approximate until those final moments when it comes closer and closer upon hitting the far shore. For me, this is the metaphor of the emergent business strategy. And for today’s small brewers, it represents a way to plot a vision for the future, while also admitting that the prevailing winds of change will be something you have to grapple with, as elegantly as possible, on your way across the sea. And he summarizes all this, all these little decisions that composite big decisions by saying, “The force of character is cumulative.” Today’s guests are a pair that have done a good job of doing just that. Eric Hobbs and Tom Korder of Penrose Brewing Company in Geneva, Illinois, about an hour west of the city of Chicago along the metro train line, set out on the Belgian-inspired journey that began in their days together at Anheuser-Busch and Goose Island, and went forward into a future all their own. They learned some lessons early on that they adapted to quickly and with grace. Such as hitting the market early with a Belgian single and hearing “where’s your IPA” a hundred times a week. And running a bottling line for the first time, and having some yeast management issues. And hosting bottle releases for their sours, and realizing just how intense that kind of crowd can be when they don’t get what they want, how they want it. Through all of this — these two have tacked back and forth on their way to the brewery they always imagined. And in my opinion, they’re loosening up the sails, and picking up speed.
