Podcasts about IPA

We saved the best (or worst) for last. Battlefield Earth has a reputation for being one of the most god-awful movies ever made, and we have to admit, it's definitely a possibility. We talk about the things that others have probably talked about before, including the ridiculous Psychlo designs, the terrible plot, multitude of Dutch angles, and we also dive into Scientology a little bit (and how stupid it is, yes we mean that as an insult). We're also drinking Other Half Brewing x Junior's collaboration, the Strawberry Dream double dry-hopped IPA with oat cream and strawberries.Approximate timeline0:00-11:00 Intro11:00-18:00 Beer talk18:00-end Battlefield EarthThat does it for this year's Difficult Films, but we'll be back in a couple weeks with more standard coverage!

To some, Chicago's Suncatcher must appear to be a typical neighborhood brewery. The bar is classic Midwest, salvaged from a midcentury tavern. The patio is expansive and inviting, thanks to the plant nursery next door. And the beers come without clever names—just the style, often defined by color, spelled out in plastic letters pressed into the sign board. But when you consider that it was the cofounder of Half Acre who designed and built this neighborhood brewery, it takes on a different meaning. The simplicity that Matt Gallagher has infused into Suncatcher extends from the environment to the beers themselves, and while he's back on the brew deck as the sole brewer, he's chosen to intentionally limit himself. But that doesn't mean sacrificing quality or flavor—in fact, by simplifying, he's able to focus on what the brewery needs to be, and what the beers need to be, and nothing more. In this episode, Gallagher discusses: designing Daisy Cutter so you could smell it from the other end of the bar early challenges in sourcing the hops they wanted the vastly improved growing and processing conditions for today's hops testing the thesis that a small brewery can be sustainable building simple beers with beautiful and expressive ingredients focusing on hospitality and service as much as the beer itself G&D Chillers You know the pain—warm fermenters, stressed yeast, and that sinking feeling when the repair quote lands in your inbox.

G&D Chillers is there to help, whether you're a small brew pub or large full-scale production brewery. Don't throw good money at bad equipment. Invest in a solution that grows with your brewery—and keeps your tanks cold when it counts.

Berkeley Yeast Berkeley Yeast just launched Dry Tropics London! Our best-selling liquid yeast strain, now with all the ease-of-use benefits of dry yeast. Dry Tropics London delivers the soft, pillowy mouthfeel and juicy character you'd expect from a top-tier London Ale strain, but with a serious upgrade: a burst of thiols that unleash vibrant, layered notes of grapefruit and passion fruit. A lot of brewers love the clean passion fruit you get from Tropics, but they don't want every IPA to be a tropical-fruit bomb. At the dry yeast price point, you can pitch and ditch without breaking the bank. Or, you can co-pitch with your house strain to adjust the intensity of the notes.

Send us Fan MailA Buddha-shaped beer bottle, a hazy double IPA that hides 9% like it's nothing, and a rapid-fire question game that goes completely off the rails. That's the energy tonight as we're back on the mics after a corrupted file and a couple weeks of real-life chaos, with a promise to keep the drinks cold and the stories honest. We start with Lucky Buddha Pale Lager and get into what actually matters to regular drinkers: aroma, that slight “green bottle” vibe, price, and whether it earns a spot as a daily drinker. From there we catch up on the last two weeks, including yard work, pollen misery, and a live music night seeing Box Elder plus a surprisingly great pierogi pizza that turns into a whole conversation about regional comfort food. Cookout season shows up hard with ideas you can steal: deviled eggs topped with mini hot dogs, smoked street corn dip with a spice surprise, and Texas Twinkies built with jalapeños, cream cheese, Chihuahua cheese, chorizo, and thin bacon on the smoker. Then we talk smash burgers and why small technique changes, like onions smashed into the patty or an onion paste grilled on top, can completely change the bite. After the break, we pour Jackie O's Ritual Destruction (hazy double IPA) and compare it to other fruity hazy favorites, argue about when pumpkin beers will hit shelves, and close with our “Answer These Nuts” segment plus plans for an Allegheny River camping float and upcoming birthdays. Subscribe, share the show with your drinking buddy, and leave us a review. Which beer would you try first, Lucky Buddha or Ritual Destruction?Support the showwww.anotherreasontodrink.com

Today's daily comedy adventure starts with an actual real estate listing from the underworld itself: Hell, Michigan is officially for sale. That's right — for the low, low price of $625,000, you too can own seven acres of pure Midwestern chaos complete with a wedding chapel, mini golf, souvenir shop, and an ice cream stand called “The Crematory.” Because apparently somebody looked at a normal small-town business plan and said, “Needs more eternal damnation.”The gang debates whether Hell is secretly a genius investment opportunity, whether Lern should become mayor of Hell, and how long before somebody turns the whole thing into a TikTok influencer commune with haunted goat yoga and craft IPA flights called “Satan's Hazy Delight.”Then things get appropriately weird in Crap On Celebrities:Adam Sandler causes internet drama by showing up to his wife's red carpet premiere dressed like he just wandered out of a Knicks tailgate.Gayle King once again denies she and Oprah are secretly together, while Rizz remains approximately 0% convinced.Cindy Crawford reveals a longtime eyelid condition and somehow still looks better than the rest of humanity combined.Sam Elliott confirms he's basically been the voice of America for decades thanks to Smokey Bear.A Perfect Circle drops new music for the first time in eight years.Jared Leto apparently wants your eyeballs now with a bizarre iris-scanning concert ticket system because regular Ticketmaster misery wasn't dystopian enough.Jon Hamm stars in what might become the greatest movie premise ever: a woman desperately trying to cash in her celebrity hall pass before her marriage collapses.And then… possibly the dumbest and greatest moment of the show: Lern unveils her absolutely unhinged patriotic remix promoting America's 250th birthday celebration featuring CNC Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida, Milli Vanilli, and enough early-90s energy drinks to restart the economy. Honestly, if this lineup doesn't scream “government-funded county fair energy,” nothing does.Also:Back In The Day triviaRocky III nostalgiaGary Coleman conspiracy talkWhy nobody should ever trust “orb technology”Why Phil Hartman's story is still heartbreakingThe return of weird celebrity AI recreationsAnd somehow Bedman & Throbbin enters the conversation because this show legally cannot behave itself for more than six consecutive minutes.This daily comedy episode is exactly what happens when a funny morning show has unrestricted access to microphones, caffeine, and internet headlines that sound fake but somehow aren't.If you love weird news, sarcastic humor, celebrity nonsense, and St. Louis radio chaos, congratulations — you found your people.

The crew debates whether Monday or Friday should disappear forever in the glorious future of shorter work weeks, and Lern admits she's somehow become more productive working fewer days. Which feels fake, but apparently science backs it up. Meanwhile, Rizz shares the emotional rollercoaster of his son's surprise birthday party after the poor kid spent all day convinced nobody loved him. Nothing says “family bonding” like emotional manipulation followed by chocolate cake.Then comes the story that absolutely broke the internet: a Florida woman gets pulled over for texting while driving… except the officer claims she was holding the phone in her RIGHT HAND. Tiny issue there: she doesn't have a right hand. The bodycam footage somehow gets even more awkward as the cop doubles down harder than a guy trying to explain crypto at Buffalo Wild Wings. The gang breaks down the absurdity of the situation, internet reactions, and why this may be the greatest accidental self-own in police bodycam history.Also: Rafe casually reveals somebody once touched tips in the woods during Little League and honestly the show never emotionally recovers from there.This episode has everything:Florida chaos. Bathroom sociology. Relationship oversharing. Burger recommendations. Dong science. Emotional support vehicles. And enough sarcastic nonsense to legally qualify as group therapy.Hell, Michigan is officially for sale.

Honestly, if this lineup doesn't scream “government-funded county fair energy,” nothing does. A Portland mom grabs a stick and chases an intruder out of her house after hearing threats against her family. Naturally, this immediately turns into a debate about whether “crazy meets crazy” is actually a legitimate life strategy… which, according to Lern, it absolutely is. Honestly? She may have a point. Or she may just want an excuse to scream at strangers in Target. Jury's still out.Then the gang discovers the existence of chess boxing — yes, actual boxing mixed with speed chess — proving once again that humans were never meant to have free time. Imagine trying to remember your opening strategy immediately after getting punched in the face by a guy named Vlad who definitely owns fingerless gloves. St. Louis might officially be the perfect city for this nonsense considering we've got boxing history AND the Chess Hall of Fame.

A mission-driven brewer explains why "beer alone isn't enough" — and how a 45-year-old wedding invite, an accidental World Beer Cup medal, and a legendary Czech dark lager came together in Batavia, Illinois.Sturdy Shelter Brewing Owner and Head Brewer Frank Mercadante shares the personal story of a brewery built on a Catholic scripture — one that was unknowingly already on his 45-year-old wedding invitation. He discusses the community-first mission that drives every decision at Sturdy Shelter, the international brewery trips that led Frank to the legendary U Fleků in Prague, the science behind why Hefeweizen is the hardest style to brew, and why his phone started flooding with congratulatory messages when he least expected it. 0:00 Intro2:15 The Historic Building and Mark Twain2:47 Introducing Frank Mercadante3:17 How Every Beer Tells a Story4:32 The Francesco Italian Pilsner9:22 The Scripture Behind "Sturdy Shelter"11:10 The 45-Year-Old Wedding Invitation12:38 From Youth Minister to Brewer14:33 Getting Serious About Homebrewing16:36 Entering Homebrew Competitions17:54 What Youth Ministry Taught Frank About Running a Brewery19:10 Why Frank Needed More Than Beer20:45 The Food Pantry and Giving Back23:36 Brewer's Choice: Dancing House Dark Czech Lager24:15 What Is a Dark Czech Lager?25:12 Sturdy Shelter's International Brewery Trips26:55 How U Fleků in Prague Inspired the Dancing House29:14 Two Years to Perfect the Czech Dark Lager31:11 Why Dancing House Became Their #1 Beer35:17 Why Hefeweizen Is So Hard to Brew36:45 Sweaty Yeast, Circus Peanuts, and Hefeweizen39:08 Winning a World Beer Cup Medal by Accident42:03 What Makes a Great Dunkel?44:26 Why Frank Chose Batavia45:27 Batavia's Inferiority Complex46:10 "This Is All Ours"46:37 Why All Their Merch Says "Batavia"47:10 How Frank Found (and Afforded) This Building50:56 What's Next: A Riverfront Deck53:05 The #1 Mistake People Make Judging Beer54:03 Frank's Most Emotional Moment55:37 Final Toast: Cheers to CommunityAbout Sturdy Shelter Brewing: Sturdy Shelter Brewing is a community-driven craft brewery and taproom in a historic mid-1800s building on the Fox River in Batavia, Illinois, where the mission is to create a "treasured and genial" gathering space one person, one conversation, and one highly crafted beer at a time.

  In this episode, Rory Wilson, a consultant with Rebel, and Annalise Czerny, a payments lead for Rebel, talk about how their company works at the intersection of payments and mobility.  They discuss how helping customers pay for getting around, whether by bus, train, or even rental scooters can help issuers build their payments program. They also cover why open-loop payments are an increasing part of fare payments in transit, and how these payments can help with financial inclusion.    This podcast was recorded on May 12, 2026. Things may have changed by the time you hear it.   The IPA plans to have Rebel back as part of our summer of learning webinar series, so be on the look out for future announcements.  In the meantime, if you want to learn more about the world of payments by attending one of our upcoming events, including our IPA Payments Policy Briefing being held at the Bancorp's Offices in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on July 9 and our upcoming Compliance Boot Camp being held at Discover's Headquarters outside of Chicago on September 10th.   If you are interested in closed-loop cards, then join Ben Jackson at the 2026 Education Forum Hosted by the Retail Gift Card Association and Best Buy on June 10th at Best Buy Headquarters in Richfield, Minnesota.  He will be speaking about the role of gift cards in the world of Shopping 3.0 and there will be sessions on the future of the gift card industry with speakers addressing how artificial intelligence will affect the future of shopping, fraud prevention, and the world as a whole.   

During the recent craft brewers conference All About Beer set up at Human Robot for a suite of podcasts. I was happy to get together with Brandon Jones, the long-time brewer and creator of Embrace the Funk. It's a conversation that goes into the evolution of extreme beers to nuanced, complex brews. As Jones has begun to note the shift of consumer preferences, he sees a move away from hazy IPAs towards more unique, experience-driven beers.He advocates for brewers to ask questions and learn from each other. As the industry involves, he shares insight into the brewery's cider program, which is inspired by European natural ciders.Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.Click here to support independent journalism covering the beer industry.This Episode is Sponsored by:John I.

In this episode, cofounder Stephen Bossu shares their approach to building a compelling array of lower-ABV beers designed around the times in which one might drink them.

In this episode, Bossu discusses: designing and brewing an all-malt Korean-style lager building core beer recipes without imported malts integrating pour style into the design of specific beers the bitterness and flavor impact of carbonation adjusting recipes depending on service style entering the cannabis beverage space with Choom And more.

  In this episode, Brian Tate, the IPA's CEO, discusses the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation's recent consent order against Yotta Technologies.   He covers what led up to the order, how it might herald a new age of regulation for Fintechs, and why it shows that companies shouldn't do business with jerks.  This podcast was recorded on May 19, 2026. Things may have changed by the time you hear it.   Listeners can learn more about the world of payments by attending one of our upcoming events:  2026 Education Forum Hosted by the Retail Gift Card Association and Best Buy, June 10, 2026, at Best Buy Headquarters in Richfield, Minnesota  IPA Payments Policy Briefing , July 9, 2026, at Bancorp's Offices in Sioux Falls, South Dakota  Compliance Boot Camp, September 10, 2026, at Discover's Headquarters in Riverwoods, Illinois, on September 10  

I know you are all hanging out to hear about this and the judgment still hasn't dropped on the NSW Caselaw website (though I hear it's doing the rounds) so here it is. It's really very unedited. In my submission I propose that this episode would have been better if I had Prepared a better document and read the judgment twiceNot had several drinks at the RAC before recordingTook the time to edit itActually researched the things we were inevitably going to discussBut that takes time and time is of the essence. So here it is. I go off on a bit of a ramble about how La Vey satanism is basically edgy libertarianism but I don't really know what I am talking about. Would be keen to look into what the OTO is in a future episode and why cookers are scared of it. I mean, they are scared of everything and the OTO does sound really spooky if you are an idiot. Rod keeps the show on topic well, bless him. Anyway, the episode is about the defo trial and I figure you want it now instead of later - at least Rod was sober.----------------------------------------------------------I also forgot to do the CBCo plug at the start - this is what happens when you don't make a proper document. So I want to assure listeners that much like George Soros, the fine folks at CBCo Brewing are still giving us (me) free beers in exchange for dog like loyalty. While George still claims the cheque is in the mail - and I'm starting to wonder - CBCo are filling our cup (my cup) regularly. We love them. CRP10 probably still works. Man their IPA is really, really good. Enjoy!

Natalie Cilurzo joins Herlinda Heras and Daedalus Howell on Brew Ha Ha, to tell us about Russian River Brewing News and upcoming events. Her last time on the show was with Pliny the Younger  back on March 18. Natalie has brought three beers to taste, including Vinnie Cilurzo’s first signature beer, Blind Pig. Herlinda and Natalie were at the Craft Beer Convention in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago. The industry is contracting. Schlitz beer is closing, in Milwaukee. They have been there for 120 years. Somebody might acquire that brand. Unreasonable Hospitality One of the speakers they heard was Will Guidara. He talked about his book called Unreasonable Hospitality. Natalie is a fan and describes his advice for companies and people in any industry related to hospitality. He used to own 11 Madison Park, a Michelin 3-star restaurant. His approach is to do things for guests that are unexpected. For example, he sent his staff outside to get a hot dog from a street vendor, so he could serve it to his guests at his Michelin restaurant. He overheard their wish and did this to surprise them. ••••Visit Russian River Brewing Co. in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Check out their website and socials for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more.•••• That made Natalie and Vinnie think a lot about the experience that people get from their annual Pliny the Younger release. Natalie remembers a young family there last year and the mom was pregnant, so Natalie gave her a RRBC onesie. The next year, they were back with the baby, wearing the onesie. The little details and personal touches are what make a customer’s experience special memorable. “It’s not just the beer, it’s the experience,” says Herlinda. The first beer they taste today is called Stivo. It’s a Keller Pils that they have made in collaboration with Firestone Walker for about 20 years, although this is the first year that RRBC is actually producing it. It has a dry hoppy flavor, but not like an IPA, what they call German hoppy, not as strong. A Really Fun Busy Summer at Russian River Brewing Natalie grew up around cars and racing, and when they built the location in Windor with a big parking lot, she thought it would be a great place for a car show. So, they are doing that and there are 4 of them on the calendar this summer. One of the cars on display is an original Volkswagen van, owned by the third generation of the family. There will be lots of cars, a chopper sometimes shows up, a fire engine and an old Highway Patrol car too. The NHRA top fuel drag races are coming to Sonoma Raceway and they will display the cars on Wednesday, July 15, before the race, Anton Brown’s top fuel dragster will be on display. 

Mild is one of the oldest continuous beer styles in the English speaking world, it was the working class pint, the beer that fueled industrial England, pulled from cask and corner pubs, consumed in volume by people who needed something honest, drinkable and affordable at the end of a long shift. At its peak in the early 20th century, mild accounted for the majority of beer sold in Britain. It wasn't a specialty, it wasn't a conversation piece, it was just beer and then almost disappeared entirely post World War II. By the 1980s mild had been reduced to a footnote. CAMRA waged a decades long campaign just to keep it on life support. So why are we here on a stage or in the grass at Little Beer festival in 2026 treating it like it matters?  Because, the market is quietly telling us something. We're in a moment defined by low and no alcohol growth, a consumer exhaustion with extreme beers, and real hunger for what you can call intentionally simple beers that reward attention rather than demand tolerance.  Mild, a style built on nuance at low ABV, is almost perfectly positioned for this cultural moment. Whether the industry is ready to actually embrace that is another question, and that's what we're here to explore today. This episode is hosted by Blake Tyres of Creature Comforts Brewing Co. He is joined by some of the most thoughtful professionals driving success in this space right now.

Memorial Weekend is upon us and that means it's time for a McIlhenney Brewing Anniversary! Year 5 bring all the festivities you'd expect from our East County friends like a easy drinking triple IPA, but before that gets underway on Friday we've got a few other beers to enjoy like Jamie's external favorite, Brite Light Helles. She and Shawn explains what makes this beer so special.

If you stop into most breweries and nearly any bar or restaurant in New England today, you're going to see an IPA on the menu, and it will almost certainly be hazy. New England has one of the most distinctive beer cultures in the US. It wasn't always like this, however. In fact, until about fifteen years ago, most New Englanders had never really encountered a hop.The Alchemist's Heady Topper, the subject of today's episode of One Iconic Beer. John Kimmich started The Alchemist in 2003 with his wife Jen, and within months was making a beer that many people credit as the first hazy New England IPA. It's a funny thing about firsts, though. As we'll hear in the interview, Kimmich is uneasy with this description. Heady Topper may have sparked a region-wide culture shift, but it doesn't really resemble the beers that follow. Today we'll hear the story of Heady Topper, why its fans think it's so good, why it was the right beer at the right time, and how serendipity played a starring role in the form of a hurricane, a flood, and a new canning line. In addition to John Kimmich, we'll hear from Jason Alstrom, one of the co-founders of Boston-based BeerAdvocate. In the early days of the internet, the site became a nexus of discussion and organization and helped create the excitement that led to, among other things, the haze craze that would engulf New England. We'll also hear from Andy Crouch, publisher of All About Beer magazine, and a writer who has covered the New England beer scene since moving there in the early 2000s.Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.

We wrap up the week with Culture Brewing and a truly one of a kind collab with Coastal Roots Farm in Encinitas. A Spring seasonal beer that features handpicked elderflower from Coastal Roots creating a fruity and floral IPA. Best part, a portion of the proceeds from each beer goes to support Coast Roots efforts.

For San Diego's AleSmith, funky Belgian-style mixed-culture beers aged on whole fruit may not be impactful to the bottom line. As brewers, however, they love the process challenge of these multi-phase beers as well as the unique flavors made possible by complex fermentations and highest-quality fruit. Late last year, our blind panel at Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine® rated their Handgeplukt Kriek a 98, and our editors we selected it as one of our Best 20 Beers in 2025. Then, at the 2026 World Beer Cup, the beer further cemented its elite status by taking home a gold medal. In this episode, AleSmith head brewer Anthony Chen walks us through the brewing and maturation process, from ideation and ingredients to step-mash, barrel-aging, maceration, and more. Along the way, he discusses: why commercial pitches work better for them then culturing dregs for mixed-culture beer how malted and flaked wheat produce more “chunkies” using a pre-acidification process to protect the beer in the early stage of fermentation avoiding Pediococcus in mixed fermentation cherry processing and maceration And more.

2023 was a sea-change year for several craft breweries who underwent leadership changes. Lawson's Finest Liquids and Rhinegeist Brewery were among the companies who underwent CEO transitions that year.    Lawson's CEO Adeline Druart and Rhinegeist CEO Adam Bankovich discuss entering Year 3 of their respective tenures at the top of those companies in separate featured interviews on the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast.   In the first conversation, Druart dives into the "ongoing conversation" at the Vermont brewery of "what makes a Lawson's Finest beer a Lawson's Finest beer" and defines what makes a Sunshine brand.   "Really for us, it's IPAs – clear IPAs using Citra hops, and with a very bold flavor profile," she said. "The more conversations we have like those – defining who we are, the more I'd say clear we are moving forward what's on brand, what's off brand."   Druart also discusses the impact of Lawson's community giving programs, accelerating business by moving distribution to Baker Distributing in its home state, the launch of Hop Wired hazy and juicy IPA and much more.   Then, Bankovich explores the anniversary of launching the Cincinnati craft brewery's first NA beer line Ghost, with new offerings to follow. He also explains why launching Fuzzy Bones, a sparkling THC drink, has been a challenging and educational "crash course," following Ohio's ban on intoxicating hemp beverages.   Fuzzy Bones launched in six states, with three additional states expected to follow. Rhinegeist is "trying to stay nimble with it," as a federal ban looms in November.    "I wish that our government officials could learn enough from the past to act quickly because this industry developed so quickly, seemingly out of nowhere," he said. "We just really need a chance to not fall into the trap of Prohibition and instead write proper regulation now and in real time as consumers want these products instead of prohibiting them for years and years and years."   Bankovich also dishes on Rhinegeist's daily hospitality efforts to make guest experiences' special, the growth of the company's core Truth and Cincy Light brand families and several expedited new additions: Half Truth session IPA, limited-time summer offering Cincy Light Watermelon and Sea Salt and Cincy Vodka Soda, the company's first spirit-based offering.   Before the interviews, the Brewbound team reviews that latest news, including: A recent Bump Williams Consulting report on long-tail craft brands finding success; Leadership changes at the American Cider Association; And Boston Beer's 15% ABV Lytt beyond beer creation in glow-in-the-dark, lightbulb-shaped 6.8 oz. containers.  

Manny Salvatori of Blind Cat Beer Co. interviews Kevin Dugan of Joyride Brewing.  This Episode is Sponsored by:Berkeley YeastOur Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.SennosSennos just changed the fermentation intelligence game—again.

The IPA recently wrapped up its annual conference last week. While payments has a bright future, industry players will need to navigate a complex landscape.   In this episode, Brian Tate, the IPA's CEO, talks about the conference and the lessons learned there.   He discusses what the audience heard from the regulators who spoke, the trends that emerged during the sessions, and what was on attendees' minds as they networked during informal gatherings at the conference.   As Brian mentioned, listeners can learn more about the world of payments by attending one of our upcoming events, including our IPA Payments Policy Briefing being held at the Bancorp's Offices in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on July 9 and our upcoming Compliance Boot Camp being held at Discover's Headquarters outside of Chicago on September 10th.   If you are interested in closed-loop cards, then join Ben Jackson at the 2026 Education Forum Hosted by the Retail Gift Card Association and Best Buy on June 10th at Best Buy Headquarters in Richfield, Minnesota.  He will be speaking about the role of gift cards in the world of Shopping 3.0 and there will be sessions on the future of the gift card industry with speakers addressing how artificial intelligence will affect the future of shopping, fraud prevention, and the world as a whole.  This podcast was recorded on May 7, 2026.

This week on The Beer Engine Podcast, Griff forgot to do the show notes. Not “running late.” Not “half-finished.” Forgot.

There was a time when "adjunct" meant "cheap beer." One of America's largest breweries even paid millions of dollars to run television commercials during the Super Bowl accusing another of America's largest breweries of using worse adjuncts than they themselves used.Oh, what a world!But for craft breweries, an ingredient is an ingredient. What if adjuncts added flavor?  What if adjuncts actually cost more than malted barley?  What if adjuncts could tell a story of time and place?Corn and rice aren't cheap anymore.  They have a history.  They tell a story.  And good breweries know how to use ingredients to tell the story of great beer. Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.Click here to support independent journalism covering the beer industry.This Episode is Sponsored by:All About BeerAt All About Beer, we're honored to share the stories that define the beer community, and we couldn't do it without the generous support of our underwriting sponsors.

Bien que les bases du métier soient les mêmes, les réalités et le quotidien diffèrent beaucoup selon le service dans lequel le soignant exerce et les pathologies qu'il prend en charge. Quelles sont les motivations pour s'orienter vers une spécialisation ? À quoi ressemble ce quotidien au service des autres ? Qu'est-ce que la spécialisation a changé pour ces hommes et ces femmes ?   Infirmière spécialisée, infirmière en pratique avancée, infirmière en milieu rural ou en contexte de crise... Près de 30 millions de personnes dans le monde exercent ce métier, d'après l'OMS, et dans de nombreuses régions de la planète, les infirmières sont l'unique réponse en cas de problème de santé.   Un métier à 87% féminin Aujourd'hui encore, même si ce métier est mixte, dans un pays comme la France par exemple, la profession est à 87% féminine. La question récurrente du manque d'effectifs constitue un défi majeur et le manque d'attractivité du métier concerne l'ensemble de la planète. Un même métier et de très grandes disparités : 29,8 millions d'infirmières étaient recensées dans le monde en 2023, mais d'un pays à l'autre, on observe des charges, des conditions de travail, des responsabilités variables. En France, on dénombre 94 infirmières pour 10 000 habitants. C'est moins qu'en Allemagne, avec 124 soignantes et beaucoup plus qu'au Bénin (6,12) ou au Rwanda (12,8). On relève aussi des écarts de revenus très conséquents d'un pays à l'autre : l'OCDE montre par exemple que les infirmières en Belgique sont quasiment payées le double de leurs consœurs en France.

If you've read any mainstream news coverage of craft beer over the past year, it's likely you've seen something about the “death” of craft beer. The apocalyptic tones and pearl-clutching over the industry's recent economic woes mostly lack context, often painting a complex and diverse industry with a single brush—yet the stories continue. In his recent State of the Industry presentation at the Craft Brewers Conference in Philadelphia, Brewers Association president and CEO Bart Watson made an effort to acknowledge the real challenges facing the industry while also dispelling some of the more hyperbolic assertions often seen in popular media. In this episode, we unpack the data and arguments for a more nuanced and accurate understanding of the current state of craft beer. Through the episode, Watson discusses: the question of how many breweries the market can sustain how the long tail of breweries creates noisy data often not captured by industry analytics sectors where craft beer is growing the importance of investing in experience changing the narrative and capturing the breadth of craft beer today understanding who your customer is and what your value proposition should be the seemingly contradictory trends driving the top and value tiers in the industry And more. G&D Chillers G&D's new Elite 290 Micro-series is built for brewers who care about sustainability and performance.

Most marketers believe brand purpose drives growth.The data says otherwise.In this episode of The Sharp Cut, we take on one of marketing's most widely accepted ideas and put it under a microscope. Drawing on research from the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, Peter Field's IPA databank analysis, and perspectives from Mark Ritson and Roger Martin, we unpack a simple but uncomfortable truth:Brand purpose works… rarely.We explore why purpose has become so dominant despite weak commercial evidence, how industry incentives have turned it into a “comfort blanket,” and why the outliers like Patagonia and Dove don't translate to most brands.Along the way, we break down:The “say–do gap” between what consumers claim and how they actually buyWhy most purpose strategies show little to no impact on market shareThe hidden downside of poorly executed purpose campaignsHow purpose often replaces the harder work of real positioningThe three conditions required for purpose to actually work (and why most brands don't meet them)This is not a takedown for the sake of it. It's a reframing.Because the real question isn't whether purpose is good or bad.It's whether your organization has earned the right to use it.If not, you may be trading growth for a story that simply sounds good.Enjoy the show!TakeawaysConsumers often express a desire for brands with purpose, but this doesn't always translate to purchasing behavior.Brand purpose has become an unfalsifiable idea in marketing, often lacking robust evidence.The say-do gap highlights the difference between consumer sentiment and actual buying decisions.Purpose campaigns can generate emotional engagement but may not lead to increased market share.Most brands adopting purpose strategies do not see meaningful commercial outcomes.The effectiveness of purpose campaigns varies significantly based on execution quality.Patagonia and Dove are often cited as successful purpose-driven brands, but their models are not easily replicable.Real purpose requires genuine commitment and often involves sacrifices.Purpose can enhance employee satisfaction and brand loyalty, but it is not a direct marketing strategy.The industry often conflates purpose with marketing effectiveness, leading to misconceptions about its value.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction02:29 - The Evolution of Purpose in Marketing06:31 - Research Findings on Brand Purpose10:51 - The Complexity of Purpose Campaigns14:40 - The Outlier Problem: Patagonia and Dove20:00 - Understanding the Value of Purpose23:16 - Conclusion: The Reality of Brand PurposeReferencesTait, V., Beal, V., Dawes, J., & Sharp, B.

The Philadelphia beer tour rolls on! In Episode 34 of Matt Likes Beer, Matt cracks open Blow the Whistle IPA from 2SP Brewing Company—another sports-inspired selection courtesy of Dave. With a nod to Philly's die-hard fan culture (and a little Eagles energy mixed in), this IPA sets the stage for a deeper dive into what makes the style so beloved… and so polarizing. Along the way, Matt reflects on his own IPA-heavy lineup and tackles a question many craft beer fans have encountered: why do IPAs seem to attract so much criticism? From social media jokes to real-world beer conversations, he explores the love-it-or-hate-it reputation of the style while making a strong case for its diversity and creativity. Of course, the heart of the episode is the beer itself. Expect a full BJCP-style breakdown, highlighting: Bright citrus-forward aromas with lemon and lime zest A layered hop profile featuring Idaho 7 and Cashmere A smooth, slightly sweet finish that bends (and tests) style expectations A final score of 42, making it one of the standout beers in the series so far It's part tasting, part rant, and part love letter to one of craft beer's most debated styles. Grab a pint and join the conversation—especially if you've ever had to defend your love of IPAs.

The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.Long Trail BreweryLong Trail Brewing has been living the trail life for over 3 decades and continues to keep it fresh and celebrate the great outdoors - best enjoyed with a cold beer at the end of the day.  This year, Long Trail is upping its commitment to trails by dedicating $15,000 to Vermont trail non-profits as part of its Ales For Trails Programs.  So, one could say that drinking Long Trail beer is a form of community service - and we thank you for that.

Back from a brief IPA supply-based hiatus, we resume our quest to review and rank as many long-tenured and well-regarded flagship IPAs as possible - and this ragtag bunch is adding some unexpected twists to the results. Acquired while in Wisconsin, these five IPAs span the map and keep us guessing long past the end of the episode. Also, we continue our secondary purpose of being a CostCo podcast by talking about large backyard games; Craig's story about running into a bike is slightly exaggerated; and you get the pleasure of experiencing a blind show where the more convinced we get, the wronger we become.

Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum talk with Mitch Steele, Director of Brewing Operations at Abita Brewing and one of the most influential figures in modern American craft beer.

A third space is a place besides work and home. These function as many things: meeting room, church, dance hall, gym, clubhouse, etc. It's a space to get away, meet new people and focus on your passions and interests. Classic third spaces have been disappearing in the 21st century but nowadays, brewery tasting rooms are filling that void, catering to all sorts of people where the event is primary and beer is the perk. On this episode Don Tse and Em Sauter talk to two breweries who are navigating 2026 with new ideas on how to serve beer and how to get people in the door. This Episode is Sponsored by:HopsteinerLet's talk brewhouse efficiency: Replacing pellet loads with Salvo cannot only boost aroma density, but reduce trub load and increase beer wart. Seems like simple math, but if it is still not obvious— replacing pellets with Salvo can give you MORE BEER per batch with BETTER brewhouse efficiency.

"I'm not suggesting that repression has lost its place as a fundamental defense mechanism. Repression remains central, coherent, and fundamental to the founding of the unconscious. It is what makes certain contents inaccessible to consciousness, and what we access as psychoanalysts through dreams, play, symptoms, and associations. That remains true. What I was observing, and I'm still observing more now, is something different. When I see children and adolescents that are more capable to work on a task while doing homework, and at the same time listening to music, and at the same time texting with somebody - I don't think that they are real. This is my point. I don't think they are real. This multitasking way of living is part of life today… The clinical question for us becomes this - when does this multiplicity become a symptom? When does it interfere with the capacity for depth, for intimacy, for a sustained emotional contact?  I think that this is what we need to see, to study and to differentiate in our consulting room."    Episode Description: We consider how changes in our culture may impact the individual's intrapsychic space and from that the nature of the psychoanalytic encounter. Virginia comments on the diminishing of the paternal symbolizing function and with that a change in the 'rites of passage' that adolescents traverse - now the rituals are "created by the young people themselves" as contrasted with those passed down by their elders. This, she feels, has resulted in "intimacy becoming spectacle" and for many, the analytic session is where "the construction of intimacy may begin."  She shares clinical material with us from 40 years ago and contrasts the nature of her interventions with her contemporary treatments. Now, "I appreciate the mystery in the process and that we create meaning with the patient." Virginia closes with seeing analytic treatment as "an invitation to a process of thinking that, to remain alive, must be rethought."   Our Guests: Virginia Ungar M.D., training analyst at the Buenos Aires Psychoanalytic Association (APdeBA). She specializes in child and adolescent analysis, was the Chair of the IPA's Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis Committee (COCAP) and of the IPA Committee for Integrated Training. She was awarded a Konex of Platinum in 2016. She is the former President of the International Psychoanalytic Association (2017-2021).    Recommended Readings:  Etchegoyen,  H.

Matt Topping of Norfolk, VA's COVA Brewing has a knack for winning medals with his fruit beer, but they aren't what you think—from the full fruit refermentation to the light herbal spicing, he's found an equation that's equally successful on draft in the taproom and on the final table at World Beer Cup. From slightly higher pH to low mash temps for fermentable wort to frozen purée to Ebbegarden kveik for the primary fermentation, he's built a systemic approach to both the base gose and to the fruits and spices he layers on top. In this episode, Topping discusses: using Lactobacillus Plantarum from Goodbelly for souring wort low mash temperatures for greater fermentability using frozen rather than aseptic purée to maintain the fresh edge of fruit flavor strategically adding salt and hibiscus in the brite to dial in perfect amounts cleverly pairing fruit and spice flavors like rosemary lemon, passionfruit hibiscus, and more proper temperature for herb steeping brewing with difficult ingredients like watermelon and strawberry controlling finished pH for greater function And more.

Let's talk about hop sensory. Last week the craft brewers conference was held in Philadelphia and brewers from around the world worked to better understand processes, ingredients, and recipe development. One thing brewers and therefore drinkers can always benefit from is hop sensory. There's no argument that hops bring great depth of flavor and aroma to beer, but aside from some top notes that many of us are able to pick out, there's not always a lot of extra layers discussed. To dive into this deeper, Master Cicerone Max Finnance has a conversation with Jeff Dailey of John I. Haas. Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.Click here to support independent journalism covering the beer industry.This Episode is Sponsored by:All About BeerAt All About Beer, we're honored to share the stories that define the beer community, and we couldn't do it without the generous support of our underwriting sponsors.
