Herlinda with Dan and Celeste Hanes. Dan and Celeste Hanes from Cooperage Brewing Co., join Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha today. The last time Cooperage was featured on BHH was when Nicholas aka The Fridge was our guest on this episode of May 25, 2023. Cooperage's new location is at 575 Ross St. in downtown Santa Rosa. This place is much larger than their other original one at 981 Airway Court also in Santa Rosa. They have pool, darts, pinball and other kid and dog friendly attractions and there is trivia on Mondays. There are also rotating food trucks outside as well as great beer. First, Herlinda reminds us of the February 22 Beer City Fest. You can sign up to run in the half marathon, or just come to celebrate and drink beer later. Also, the Santa Rosa Beer Passport promotion is going on. Cooperage is a big part of both Beer City and the Santa Rosa Beer Passport promotions. Their new location means they have enough space to throw a big party in the parking lot. So on March 22, they will be throwing a block party in the empty parking lot next door. They will have BBQ, burgers, several bands and local vendors, all at the new downtown location. Their name for it is the Coop Rage party, at least for now. They have a great following and the local community has supported them, so they are glad to be able to do this in their new downtown location. “We want to be part of the re-creation of downtown.” Tyler, Cooperage's brewer, started by working the taps at Whole Foods while people knew he was already brewing great beer by himself. Joe Tucker of RateBeer fame loved Cooperage and said it would be the next great American brewery. They brought three beers today. One is a pale dry ale, called the Crispy Crusher. It is an “affordable, approachable beer.” They keep the price low, $4 or $5 a pint, depending on what time of day. Every Saturday the free beer shuttle is a popular attraction in Santa Rosa. Their hours at the new downtown location are Monday – Thursday from 3:00 to 10:00 PM, Fridays and Saturdays Noon to Midnight, Sundays Noon to 7:00 PM. Their IG will tell you what food trucks are coming and when. Stella says the highlight of her day is to meet all the dogs that come to their dog-friendly locations. The Mexican wrestling is a great show. Next time is Saturday, May 3. The wrestling is a tournament with judges and a champion. Once, Dan's little son panicked because he saw his dad get body slammed and he “lost his marbles” as Mom tells the story. How do you say, “KAYFABE” in Spanish?

Happy New Year and Happy 9th Anniversary to us!We made it to 9 years. Wild. I know everyone looking back on things says how much they've seen change, but wow, we sure have seen a lot change since we started this thing. What a ride. Thanks for joining us for the trip. Maybe we'll throw a big party for the 10 year celebration.This week we talk about Dry January. Nate's going dry, I'm dry for now due to #DoctorsOrders, and Brian is still very wet. If you do go dry, don't forget your local breweries. Go grab a bite, see if they have any NA offerings, maybe try a mocktail. They need you now more than ever.Big news from the Brewers Association as Bart Watson is appointed President and CEO. Bart was formerly the Chief Economist at the BA and shared all the facts and figures on what was happening in the craft beer world. He joined us on the show back in 2018, you can check that out here. (I have no idea where the Duke's Mayo ad on that show came from.)For the crappy news that seems so common these days we report that RateBeer is shutting down and that beer drinking in 2024 was the lowest it's been in a generation, and the report that it's possible the popularity of Ozempic is impacting beer sales. Pfft.Cheers to 2025, Y'all! Hope it's a great one!TimThanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!

Phaedra Achor Flora Luna Apothecary founder Phaedra Achor is back on Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras today. Phaedra was also on Brew Ha Ha almost exactly two years ago on this episode on Dec. 22, 2022. There is big news in the beer world. Herlinda reports that RateBeer dot com is closing. Our friend and former co-host Joe Tucker sold it to a big brewing company several years ago. Buying a big beer ratings company, only to shut it down, looks like a corporate power play. There may be buyers who wish to purchase its assets. A lot of site users have postings there that date back many years. There are a lot of stakeholders who have questions. Herlinda will try to get Joe Tucker to come on the show soon to tell us more about it. Flora Luna Apothecary is Phaedra's company that produces botanical bitters, syrups and infusions, for creating uniquely flavorful cocktails and other beverages. Phaedra has a lot to say about holiday cocktails. The first one she is making in the studio today, named Festival of Lights, is a celebration of Hanukkah. It is a gin fizz made with olive oil which gives it a unique flavor and texture. Visit Russian River Brewing Co. on 4th St. and at their Windsor location. Click the logo to visit their website for hours, menus and beers on tap. What Bitters Are Bitters are botanical extracts, made from three components, a bark, a root and an aromatic botanical. Then, when you macerate them in an alcohol base, you extract the bitter compounds. Traditionally they were a medicinal, used to soothe the gut. Angostura bitters are the most famous example. Syrups are similar to bitters but they are more an infusion, with the ingredient cooked in the syrup. Phaedra formulates all the recipes and makes everything herself. Her website has all of her products. Her quarterly subscription box contains seasonal concoctions four times a year. The recipes that come with it can be made with or without alcohol. Flora Luna began in 2015 when Phaedra threw a cocktail party and made five different kinds of bitters for the occasion. They were a hit and some guests were really impressed. This encouraged Phaedra, then she realized that there was interest in cocktails and a lack of great bitters on the market. For the rest of the show they continue tasting and discussing some beautiful craft cocktails.

Jonathan Buford is the CEO and founder of Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company. He grew up in Ohio and moved to Arizona in 2002, when he drove his rusted-out 1988 Chevy Nova out West to explore the vast Arizona landscapes. He launched his first business, a window cleaning company, out of his garage in 2006. In 2010, while backpacking through the Arizona wilderness, Jonathan was inspired to take his interest in craft brewing to the next level to start his own brewpub. He orchestrated a successful Kickstarter campaign to obtain the necessary capital and opened the Arizona Wilderness Brewpub in Gilbert, Arizona, in 2013 as the very first brewery in Gilbert. Starting with just nine employees, Arizona Wilderness found quick success, growing rapidly and securing rave reviews from the likes of Esquire Magazine, The Phoenix New Times, Phoenix Magazine, Draft, Beer Advocate, and Sunset. Arizona Wilderness was even named “The Best New Brewery in the World” in 2013 by Ratebeer.com. Today, Arizona Wilderness has more than 160 employees and operates the original Gilbert brewpub, a European-inspired beer garden in downtown Phoenix, and a warehouse production and barrel-aging facility. Arizona Wilderness continues to celebrate hand-crafted, artisanal beers that are inspired by the beautiful and diverse state of Arizona and is consistently rated the best brewery in Arizona and among the top 100 breweries worldwide (out of nearly 20,000 total breweries). Arizona Wilderness also receives regular acclaim for its food, including being recently named one of the top 100 restaurants in Phoenix by AZcentral.com. In addition to providing world-class food and drink, Jonathan and his business partner, Patrick Ware, use their passion for the wilderness to continually drive improvements in Arizona Wilderness' impact on its community. Jonathan and Patrick have driven initiatives to: (1) save huge amounts of water from the Verde River (more than 320 million gallons) by transitioning the brewery's base malt to Sinagua Malt (which replaces heavy water use crops such as corn and alfalfa with barley in the Verde River Valley); (2) drastically reduce landfill usage by utilizing recyclable and compostable materials wherever possible; and (3) support local farmers and vendors by consistently seeking out local partners for all menu items, including exclusively offering 100% Arizona grass-raised and finished beef at the beer garden. Jonathan is also pursuing a career in capturing Arizona landscape photography. He embarked on a project documenting all 90 Arizona Wilderness areas which will be published by Arizona Highways Magazine. He also frequently contributes to the magazine. In the future, Jonathan looks forward to continuing to grow Arizona Wilderness to ensure a tangible, long-term, positive effect on Arizona. ---------- Guiding Growth: Conversations with Community Leaders Join our hosts, Sarah Watts and Ben Kalkman, as we explore the human journey of leaders - their stories of humility, triumph, roadblocks, and lessons learned - as they reflect on how they became who they are today and share stories of inspiration and hope with listeners.

Shadow of a Doubt Natalie Cilurzo, co-owner of Russian River Brewing Co. joins Herlinda Heras and Steve Jaxon on Brew Ha Ha to talk about their plans for 2024. 2024 is going to be a big year for Russian River Brewing Co. First, it is their 20th anniversary. They opened on April 3, 2004, on 4th St. in Santa Rosa. They also released the first Pliny the Younger in 2005. The Pliny release dates are now March 22 – April 4. They do wholesale distribution on draft for retail customers in February, still. Pliny the Younger is a super hoppy triple IPA, about 10.25% ABV. It started as a beer they made to drum up some business during the slow season. For several years they did this with no fanfare. But in 2010 people started communicating online, including at sites like RateBeer.com. The beer was rated one of the best beers in the world. Since then, it has grown into an international hit. For more about the 2023 Pliny the Younger, here is Natalie's BHH podcast episode from last February. They do no advertising and its success is 100% consumer driven and they only made two batches at the Santa Rosa pub, so probably about 60 kegs. They always remind their team how important it is not to take its success for granted. It's on tap for two weeks, and people can buy a limited amount. It gets pretty crowded on weekends. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. Natalie describes the base recipe of Pliny the Younger as Pliny the Elder on steroids. It uses a lot of hops but almost every year there is a tweak to the hops chosen. Shadow of a Doubt They taste Shadow of a Doubt seasonal porter. It's 9.9% and is named after an Alfred Hitchcock film that was shot in Santa Rosa in 1943. One final announcement, Pliny will be running for President again, Pliny for President and Blind Pig for Veep. On December 12, it will be released on tap and then it will be brewed quarterly through election season. Blind Pig Brewing Company was the name of Vinny Cilurzo's first brewery, back in Temecula, California in 1994.

From a background in homebrew, Ross Holland would go on to start Box Social Brewing with his dad Steve in 2015.Fast forward several years and Holland is the proprietor of Alpha Delta Brewing, a Newcastle-based brewery making modern beers from hop-forward IPAs to mixed-ferm sours.Not only that but the business was crowned in the top 10 of the New Brewer Awards for the Year 2020 by RateBeer. In this podcast, Holland talks about his background in beer, the hurdles he's overcome along the way and that if you're a fan of ace beer and excellent rock and metal, then their Delta Lounge taproom bar in central Newcastle is just the place for you.

Siren Craft Brew was founded by Darren Anley in 2013, and has quickly grown to one of the best craft breweries in the UK and known worldwide for its collaborations. Located just outside of Reading, near in fact to where Adam used to live,  Siren is known widely for its innovative and daring beers, and has been recognized as one of the best breweries in the world by Ratebeer.Throughout this conversation  we circle around the similarities between our breweries, the stories of how we were founded, and both of our interest in pushing the breadth of our beer lineups. But we also explore the unique role that UK craft beer culture  and regulations play in to the beers that Siren brews.

A few months back we tried and very much enjoyed a cider from Superstition Meadery located in Prescott, Arizona. Andrew has had a few things from them but the one we had was Lemonade in Retrograde which was fermented with lemons, honey and hops. It was delicious and scary-easy to drink at 13.5% ABV. For this week's show we return to Superstition Meadery but we are going to see what magic they can do with a cider. We will be trying the Blueberry Spaceship Box cider which is made with a blend of tart apples and semi-sweet blueberries. It comes in at 5.5% ABV and costs anywhere from $14 to $19 for a 750ML bottle. Their website says that it is the top rated cider in the world on Ratebeer.com and also on Untapped. Who knows but maybe someday their site will mention AboutBeverages.com and how we feel about one of their products. 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.

I first met Ryan Dowdle in 2008 with a group of beer enthusiasts from RateBeer and BeerAdvocate in the Tampa Bay Area. Ryan has been through a lot in his journey into the beer industry, including the founding and building of Angry Chair Brewing in the Seminole Heights neighborhood of Tampa. In this episode, our first back after a few month hiatus, we talk with Ryan about the future of Angry Chair Brewing, the brewery's reputation for big imperial stout, their award-winning pilsner and its following, as well as plans for the brewery's new home. I hope you enjoy the show. For more information on the BeerWise podcast and news from the beer industry, visit Florida Beer News, and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

It's been an amazing season thus far and moving into the second half, we're connecting with the team behind our most watched and longest episode of all time - Third Moon. Steve "Bebo" Pilotto and Chris Steininger launched mid-pandemic in 2020 to a thunderous response, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after breweries in Ontario (and Canada as a whole), even landing a top 5 position in RateBeer's Best New Breweries of 2020. Bebo and Chris hung with Tiff and Cee to chat about their dedication to diversity, why they got involved in Black Is Beautiful multiple times, how they're helping the deaf community, the meaning behind the beer label and recipe, and how they figured out how to do more. Cheers! About the Link Up season: We're back with a brand new season of BAOS Podcast, and this one is something very special and very close to us. We'll be focusing this entire season on Link Up, a non-profit started by the good folks behind Microbrasserie 5e Baron in Aylmer, QC and Tiffany and Cee here at BAOS and High Season Co. Our aim with this program is to help BIPOC from underrepresented communities learn about and enter the craft beer industry in essentially any area they wish - from a brewing apprentice to taking the Cicerone course for front-of-house opportunities, from hop farming to the yeast lab, from beer media to design and photography, we're here to help diversify an industry that is in dire need of it.

Esther Mobley, Wine Critic for the San Francisco Chronicle, thought writing would be more of a passion than a career.  Yet, she's one of two full-time wine writers for newspapers in the US.  Esther discusses how being at a newspaper differs from a wine magazine, the changing wine critic landscape, the impact of wine scoring, and even gives some tips for budding wine bloggers and influencers.  She believes that “More voices are great” when it comes to wine writing and celebrates when there's a new wine writer hired.  A unique voice and angle in our discussion of the evolving landscape for wine critics. Detailed Show Notes: Esther's backgroundShe went to Napa to work harvest after college (for fun)Worked in restaurants and wine shopsLanded an internship at Wine EnthusiastShe got a job at the Wine Spectator in the editorial departmentShe was an English major, wanted to be a writerRole as the SF Chron's wine criticPlays both a new reporter and critic roleNews reporter - cover local news for a major industry (wine)Critic - look at wine through an evaluative lensDoesn't score wines, writes more narrative reviews of wines“Wine of the Week” column - focus on one bottle of wineThe decline of newspaper wine writersMight be only 2 full time in the US - Eric Asimov (New York Times) & EstherThe local newspaper business model has shiftedAll used to have a wine columnist, and no one goes to the local newspaper now to learn about wineNewspaper wine writers have evolved - more local news-oriented, provides a view on something important to the Bay AreaEveryone works online nowChronicle business modelProfitable and hiring a lot of peopleFocused on subscribers vs. advertisement - would rather have fewer people read an article, but more subscribersNot trying to be a national publicationNewspapers vs. magazinesMagazines score wines, publish less frequently traditionallyNewspapers - more news, though Wine Spectator also doing more wine newsDifferences are narrowing between the twoWine Critic landscape“More voices are great”The barrier of entry is lower than it used to beA lot of people want to know “who's the next Parker” -> probably will never be a next ParkerMore people covering niches w/in wineSF Chronicle / Esther - cover mostly CA wine, telling the story of Bay Area wines, enables the telling of interesting storiesWine InfluencersSome concern over the blurring lines between sponsored and editorial contentSome people may feel they have made wine too democraticEsther believes most criticism against influencers is sexist -> influencers just doing the best to succeed in their mediumInfluencers working w/in social media algorithms to get their successWine ScoringAnecdotally hear score remain important on the wholesale level - to sell wines to restaurants / retail buyers“Wine of the Week” articles - have heard this does lead to some wines selling out at retail (publishes where wine is available, but sells out after it comes out online but before it hits print) -> recommendations from trusted sources still matterBlind tasting - if someone is scoring wine, this is the best way to do itWine Spectator - tastes blind, includes a “ringer” in every flight (a wine that the critic has scored before) to see if scores are consistentCritics vs. PublicationsSF Chronicle makes Esther's name more publicThe Wine Advocate invested more in the personal name of critics vs. Wine Spectator less soAverage consumers don't know the difference between wine critics and their palatesStories that are interesting to Esther“Things that don't make sense on their face”E.g., Andy Beckstoffer giving away grapes for free from a Lake County vineyardRenaissance Winery in Sierra Foothills - a doomsday cult that craft a world-class wineAdvice to wine bloggers/influencersRead a lot of good, non-wine writing (e.g., The New Yorker, The Atlantic)Don't assume the reader has much knowledge of wine (e.g., don't use too many technical terms, wine jargon)User-Generated Content wine forums (e.g., CellarTracker, Vivino)Wine Berserkers - “it's its own thing,” like a Reddit for wine, very knowledgeable people on it In beer, e.g., Untappd, Rate Beer - are taken more seriously than wineGeneral problem - no one's figured out how to talk about wine on the internet

“Good people drink good beer."                         -Ancient Celtic Axiom   On today's episode of the Only in OK Show, we discuss Prairie Artisan Ales in Krebs, OK.   Prairie Artisan Ales is a small brewery founded in Krebs, Oklahoma. They were founded in 2012, and have brought a unique perspective to brewing.  From big bold barrel-aged stouts to crisp and funky farmhouse ales, every beer they brew is a unique, expressive, and interesting art.  They have also been named a Top 100 brewer in the world by RateBeer.   Krebs is a city in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, with a population of 2000 residents.  Although Krebs started as a coal-mining town, it has earned the nickname "Little Italy," due to its multitude of restaurants serving authentic Italian fare.   Check out our sponsor for this episode - Holliday Tax Group   #TravelOK #onlyinokshow #Oklahoma #MadeinOklahoma #oklaproud #BetterTogether #SupportLocalEverything #positivenews #itunes #podcast #okherewego #traveloklahoma #Krebs #beer #mmmbeer #pittsburgCounty #Historic #history #culture #top100

Kung Pao Chicken Beer? We know what you're thinking. Someone was brave enough to combine Chinese food into a craft beer. FINALLY! Now you don't have to make your ramen noodles with Pabst anymore (#PBRnoodles). There's got to be a better way! And now there is! This unique blend of flavors is brewed to taste like Kung Pao sauce. We chat about the history of Kung Pao chicken in America, the rise of Sriracha as a dominant hot sauce, and how Stillwater Artisanal has been making a name for themselves with unique craft blends. Brewed with chili powder, ginger, Sichuan pepper, sea salt, and peanut extract, this is one that has to be tried to believe. So does this motley blend of spices and cultures work? Well, Stillwater Artisanal has been awarded the No. 2 slot for "Best New Brewer in the World" by Ratebeer.com, and ranks in the global 100 list. Not shabby. We do love an underdog. Cheers.

This week’s guest invented one of the most impactful things in American beer history —but it’s not a beer style, or a recipe, or a festival, or a piece of equipment—it’s an app. Untappd grew from a side project for Greg Avola and his partner Tim Mather—one that they moonlighted for on weekends—to a leading social experience for beer geeks in a very short amount of time. Basically you try a beer, you log the experience, and it keeps track of your history. You can share that experience with others, rate it, post pics, tag bars and breweries where you enjoyed it—each little interaction creates a massive web of crowd data over time. Some producers find it fascinating and valuable. Others are haunted by it and think it’s ruining beer. Or maybe already has. But it’s surely, like any software, largely what we make of it. But what is Untappd itself made of? This interview follows on co-founder Greg Avola’s recent exit from his role at the company—after it was acquired by Next Glass a few years ago, Greg’s role became less of a product engineer and tweaker, and more of a creative director, working across a lot of other roles, outlining new strategies, and integrating with the ecosystem of follow-on acquisitions like Beer Advocate, and most recently Hop Culture. With the intent to build a B2B and B2C ecosystem that enabled the rating, tracking, promotion and purchasing of the beers people find most interesting. Basically leveraging content to create a new sort of tier in the 3-tier system. But it’s not without its challenges, both personal and professional. In this conversation Greg talks a lot about what it’s like to be a founder of a small tech project that goes big. The burden that places on the individual, and how evolving in an acquisition environment is fraught with personal challenges. But it also outlines how the scope of Untappd is shifting. Their numbers are down in the U.S. but growing rapidly abroad. Not unlike what happened with one of its predecessors, Ratebeer. And the other acquisitions, like Beer Advocate, haven’t really panned out the way it was imagined, leaving most of the creative and strategic onus on Untappd itself, a challenge it seems to have met with some renewed focus on content, events, and overall community-building in the past year. In Greg’s open letter about his decision to step down, he was uncommonly transparent about his rationale, experiences, and hopes. And that’s the catalyst for us talking today—from one start-up founder to another. I think it’s critical that more people openly share the nature of the sacrifices people like Greg make to see their idea grow.

Stephen's notes:BeersOlde English 800Made by Miller brewing company, was introducrted in 1964, but its origins go back to the 1940's and Ruff's Olde English Stout, brewed by Peoples Brewing Company out of Duluth, Minnesota.It has an alcohol content of 7.7%, which is technically a malt liquor (which is a beer with alcohol content higher than 5% and made with malted barley).In 2010, the 3.2% ABW version was rated as the “worst beer in the world” by the site, RateBeer.com.Chimay WhiteOr Chimay Triple, is an 8% “tripel” that is brewed at the Chimay brewery, which is a Trappist monastery attended to by Trappist monks. It is one of only 14 Trappist breweries worldwide. They also make 4 types of cheeses. They were founded in 1862 in Chimay, Belguim. There are 4 types of beers they produce, Chimay white, red, blue, and gold. The former 3 can be bought all over the world, the gold can only be bought at the actual Abbey.Webpage: https://theguysreview.simplecast.com/ EM: theguysreviewpod@gmail.com IG: @TheGuysReviewPod Twitter: @The_GuysReview FB: https://facebook.com/TheGuysReviewPod/ Please, rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts from!! Thank you, -The Guys

On the Hop Forward Podcast this week we talk with Greg Avola, CEO of the popular beer check-in app, Untappd, which celebrates its 10th birthday this week, discussing everything from big data, review culture and why 4pm is officially Beer O’Clock. Twelve years ago, my wife and I started a list that we stuck to our fridge called ‘Beers We Have Known and Loved’. The idea was simple: for every beer we’d purchased from The Dram Shop, a small independent retailer of microbrewed beers, fine wines and world whiskies, we’d write down the name of the beer, a comment and rate the beer out of 10. Needless to say, that piece of paper has long disappeared but the memory of one particular German beer remains etched on my mind over a decade on. Simply called Beer Rauchen, or ‘Smoke Beer’ in English, this black liquid did not have the sublime subtle smoked-sausage-meets-breakfast-ceral taste often associated with the style, but rather - as my scathing review testified - ‘tastes like fag ash!’ 0/10. You could argue that this humble lined-sheet of A4 was a precursor to websites such as RateBeer or apps such as Untappd. The idea of keeping a log of things you love - or, in this case, loathe - isn’t new. Beer tickers throughout the years have journal after journal entries containing reviews of the latest guest ale down the local, beers revered at festivals and casual comments from evenings in by the fire on a cold winter’s night with a bottle of something dark and heartwarming. In the privacy of, to keep such a record of my personal opinions is neither here nor there. But how does that translate in the digital age where reviews are open to interpretation, public for all to see, and grant direct access and dialog to the producers themselves? These are questions Greg Avola, CEO of Untappd, has had to wrestle with for the last ten years. Untappd is an app that allows users to keep track of their beers and allows for open conversations surrounding those check-ins, familiar to most brewers and beer fans alike for a variety of reasons. I’ve yet to meet a brewer who hasn’t felt the eurphic hit as a shot of dopamine pulses through their veins due to a string of positive reviews, and then - in the next instance - has been hit in the gut by a punchy offhand comment that seems unjustified on every level. Whatever your relationship with Untappd, there’s no denying that it does what it does very well and is collecting vast amounts of data regarding worldwide beer trends, which will prove invaluable over the coming months and years. And who hasn’t enjoyed reading some of the worst reviews from keyboard warriors and armchair detectives as featured on the Worst Beer Blog. In honour of Untappd turning 10, we’ve introduced a little feature we think you’ll enjoy…!

When Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company was named "Best New Brewery in The World" in 2014 by RateBeer.com many would have assumed that this would be the best thing that could ever happen. But it almost broke them. ALMOST. They fought tooth-and-nail the whole way and now coming up on their 7th anniversary the Gilbert-based brewery is in a new phase of growth. The roller coast that was their formidable years has forged the AZW team into a group determined to leave their imprint on Arizona by minimizing the impact we all make on our beautiful state. Oh yeah, they make amazing beer and delicious food too!

I’m Jonny Garrett, and you’re listening to the Good Beer Hunting podcast. Today’s guest is Paul Jones, founder and sole owner of Cloudwater Brew Co. in Manchester, England. Since founding Cloudwater just five years ago Jones has, perhaps knowingly, become a spokesperson for the British beer industry. To be fair, he has plenty of right to that job. Cloudwater was previously voted the fifth-best brewery in the world by the users of RateBeer, and is one of the country’s fastest-growing beer businesses. Jones has also had a hand in many of the major developments in the U.K. beer scene—including New England-style brewing, canned beer, direct-to-consumer sales, off-site taprooms, and an emphasis on cold-chain distribution and storage. As we explore all of that, some listeners may perceive Jones’ self-championing as arrogance, but he’s the first to admit fault and is his own biggest critic, as you’ll hear throughout the interview. On the occasions I get a word in and challenge him, it’s clear he’s already asked himself the same questions a thousand times and played out all the scenarios in his mind—probably while wide awake in the middle of the night. We start the interview reminiscing about happier times, with what was perhaps a celebration of everything Cloudwater has achieved so far—the Friends & Family & Beer Festival, held in February. Bringing together an insane brewery list and a festival with charity and inclusivity at its heart it was supposed to be a signal of where beer was headed. Looking back now, it feels a bit like the last supper. After going through the highs and lows of running a fast-growing, much-hyped beer brand, I knew Paul would have some insight into how the beer scene and the beer industry—because they are very different things—will play out once the threat of COVID-19 fades. Jones has been ahead of the curve on so many occasions, and it’s worth taking note of what he says. While he’s had to change his expectations and the specifics, his approach remains the same—if you do the same thing as everyone else, you’re going to find yourself crowded out. In the face of the biggest challenge craft beer has ever faced, the fact that Jones is still excitable and upholding his admirable beliefs about beer, industry, and society is comforting—even if I don’t completely share his optimism. This is Paul Jones of Cloudwater Brew Co. Listen in.

Today on Brew Ha Ha, Natalie Cilurzo is here from Russian River Brewing Co., with some bottles of this year’s Pliny the Younger, one day before the public release, which is tomorrow, Friday February 7, 2020. Brew Ha Ha and The Drive are pleased to host the Pliny the Younger unveiling again as we did last year at this time. This is the first year that this beer will be put in bottles. Pliny the Younger is their rarest and most sought-after beer. They decided that this was the year to put it in bottles, although they will only be sold in the brewpubs and none for distribution. There is only a certain amount every day. People came last year from 40 different states and 17 different countries, for the Pliny the Younger release. Customers can only get two bottles per person per day. Their new Windsor facility is larger and has ample parking, for those who are planning a trip. Herlinda asks Natalie to recap what is Pliny the Younger. It is a triple IPA, this is its 16th year. Vinny Cilurzo wanted to take their Pliny the Elder recipe, their flagship double IPA, and increase the malt, alcohol and hops. She is pouring this beer from their Windsor facility, made with open top fermentation, which creates softer beers. This is 10.25% alcohol. Steve and Mark agree that you wouldn’t think it is that strong, because of its great flavor. There are 8 different hop varieties, such as Simcoe and Amarillo. This year they added two new ones, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin. It is very dry, and Natalie notes that this is a characteristic of Russian River beers. Mark Carpenter agrees that it's a fabulous beer, well-balanced, you can taste the alcohol but it's not overpowering, nor are the hops. When the World Discovered Pliny the Younger Russian River Brewing Company has several other beers, including a couple that are also being released today. This particular beer started as a February release in 2005. In 2010, the day that Vinny came to the brewery to open the doors at 7am, there was a line of people outside the brewpub, which there had never seen before. They were there before 7am for a noon opening, for Pliny the Younger, and told Vinny that Joe Tucker of RateBeer.com had rated it the best beer in the world. This was the very beginning of social media networking intersecting with craft brewing. Suddenly, there was a pilgrimage to their brewery. She remembers the day vividly. Every single person bought their limit. They sold all the beer in 8 hours. (A growler is a half gallon bottle.) They never pushed it, it just got recognized. She doesn't buy advertising and it's really consumer-driven. They are making this recipe in both of their locations and the two batches are slightly different. Mark Carpenter agrees that it is difficult to get exactly the same results from a beer recipe made in different locations. The downtown pub is open from 11am to midnight every day. The Windsor location is open from 11am to 10pm during the week (Sunday through Thursday) and until 11pm on Friday and Saturday. Natalie also mentions that they reclaim 75% of the water they use and they use reclaimed water for their landscaping.

Tasting 59 is courtesy of our good friend, loyal listener, and latest guest, Aaron Young! He was gracious enough to bring us down five bottles of one of the most sought after breweries in the country, Hill Farmstead Brewery out of Greensboro Bend, Vermont. Not only is it ranked highly in the States, but was labeled 2018 Best Brewery in the World by RateBeer. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on some, you'll understand why. Beer Line-up: Sankt Hans (Farmstead Amber Ale Conditioned in Oak Puncheons), Civil Disobedience (Blend of Farmstead Ales Aged in Oak Barrels), Flora (Farmstead Wheat Ale Aged in Wine Barrels), Aaron (Barleywine-Style Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels) and Beyond Good and Evil (Imperial Stout Brewed with Wheat and Maple Syrup and Aged in Bourbon Barrels) all from Hill Farmstead Brewery.

Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon today features Don Barkley and Kevin Lovett. Mark Carpenter and Herlinda Heras are both traveling. Don was last on Brew Ha Ha back in March of this year. Don Barkley tells the story of how he was there the day that Kevin was born, on the 4th of July. Kevin's dad Michael and Don Barkley have been friends for a long time. They worked together at the New Albion Brewery then they moved to Hopland at the same time to start the Mendocino Brewing Co. and the Hopland Brewery and Kevin Lovett was born soon after that. Kevin was one of Don's first employees at the Napa Smith Brewery, where he worked for about five years. Then he got an offer from Brian Hunt who owns and operates Moonlight Brewing Co., which also happens to be where Don's son works. Kevin says, "I got to work for two of the godfathers in this industry, Don and Brian." Then after Moonlight, Kevin was the head brewer at Stumptown for two years, then became the Master Brewer at Cloverdale Ale Company. He has now bought the brewery, just three weeks ago, and is going to reopen it at the beginning of the year, as the Wolf House Brewery. He is opening two spots at the same time, one in Glen Ellen, the Jack London Historical Village, on the south side, right up against the Jack London Park. Both places will be a full brew pub, but their main production facility will be in Cloverdale. Glen Ellen is known as a wine town but there are few breweries and no tasting rooms, except for Cloverdale. We get a phone call from Herlinda Heras who is visiting Belgium, where it is 2:29 AM the next day. She began the trip in Amsterdam. Everywhere she goes there are separate containers for recycling glass and plastic. She also visited two breweries in windmills. Kevin's business partner and bro-in-law is a chef who also runs a food truck called Got Balls Meatball Factory. that specializes in meatballs and he will manage the food provisions there.  The Glen Ellen location is being rebuilt from scratch, including all the local permits. Herlinda describes a Belgian monastery where the beer that the brothers produce was for a while the number one rated beer on RateBeer.com. When crowds of beer lovers showed up there, the monks were unhappy with the interruption to their life, which includes a vow not to earn more money than they need to run their monastery. Herlinda describes going to some Trappist breweries there. Herlinda is touring breweries on Bon Beer Voyage Beer Tours. They have rooms on flat-bottomed canal barges that go through the canals in the Netherlands and Belgium. They visited Antwerp, which is gorgeous. She will also attend the Smithsonian ceremony on November 8 in Washington DC, for the opening of the Beer History Museum, where some famous American brewers like New Albion, Anchor Brewing Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head will be inducted. Fritz Maytag and Ken Grossman will be there. Herlinda wonders why Dogfish Head is in such company.

When news broke that CUB has been purchased by Asahi for $16 Billion the comments and questions came thick and fast. Some things were clear, if the sale went ahead Asahi would become the worlds third largest brewing company. What was not so clear was the fate of the various company layers within the CUB network. Questions and opinions soon began circulating as to the future of CUB's craft brands like 4 Pines and Pirate Life as well as online services such as Booze Bud and Rate Beer. We turn to Mazen Hajjar, co founder of Hawkers Beer, who is very forthright in his opinions on all things business. He shares what the sale might mean for the Australian beer landscape as well as his views on tap contracts, anti competitive behaviour and the role of the IBA and ACCC.
