The Pittsburgh beer scene has spread rapidly across the Steel City, helping to mold and define many of the neighborhoods that make up the burgeoning city. Trace Brewing has been one of the leading pioneers in this movement. Spearheading their efforts are owner Dave Kushner and Head of Marketing and Customer Experience Aadam Soorma. Along with General Manager Katie Rado, Kushner and Soorma have worked to create and provide an open and accepting environment for their staff and patrons, while also brewing some of the best beer in the city. Through their countless events and community partnerships, the team at Trace has focused on making their space a mirror of the community they serve.

Nigel & Nick hit the road hard as in all the way to Pittsburgh, PA.  Before the big brew collab day at Helicon Brewing the boys stopped by Trace Brewing.  Aadam & Katie were great hosts as we talked the origins & mission of Trace, the Pittsburgh beer scene & of course Barrel & Flow/

So often, when you listen to these episodes, you hear conversations with people far along in their experience with beer, wine, spirits, or other alcoholic beverages. We've had our share of brewers and owners who have been in the game for a decade or more. And in this conversation, we're invited to hear from Natalie Thurman, an up-and-coming brewer discovering what it means to go pro, create recipes, and learn all the time. Natalie was a homebrewer before she was brought on as a vocational brewer at Pittsburgh's Trace Brewing. Over a six-month period from summer 2023 through the end of that year, Natalie worked alongside and learned from a variety of staff at Trace, picking up tips, tricks, and an education that will guide her in brewing for years to come. It's all new—Natalie is a clinical research professional and registered nurse who's spent more than 10 years working in healthcare—but as you'll hear in this chat, there's a lightness and excitement at work in her life through beer. While we talk about her beginnings in homebrewing and building an interest in beer, I invite you to really hear the way Natalie talks about finding herself through her homebrewing and her work at Trace. Spending time at a brewery and meeting industry peers has seemed to unlock something special for her, and it's an opportunity you'll hear she's not taking for granted. This is a chance to hear what it sounds like to start something new and why it's so meaningful. It's an opportunity to hear about how the joy of homebrewing becomes the joy of professional brewing and all that's to come for Natalie and those in her orbit.  

A registered nurse, Natalie Thurman decided to take her homebrewing to another level through Trace Brewing's 6-month Vocational Brewing program. The post Modern Brews + Beats Podcast #190: Natalie Thurman appeared first on NTX Beer.

See you in 2022 at CBP Connects presented by Arryved POS. Join your fellow Craft Beer Professionals in Norfolk, VA (February 7-9, 2022) for 3 days of networking and education. Register: https://cbpconnects-norfolk.eventbrite.com/ David and Tranice will be leading the session "Diversifying Your Workforce Through Training and Development Programs." Workforce/work ready development programs enable people to meet occupational employment trends and real-time labor needs within various industries. Additionally, these programs also level the playing field among underrepresented groups such as: people of color, new immigrants, individuals with disabilities, those living in rural and socio-economically segregated communities, and those involved with the criminal justice system. This workshop will discuss the importance of the beer industry supporting workforce development through thoughtfully planned vocational programs, paid apprenticeships, and other avenues of opportunities which encourages an increase in diverse applicants and talent; decreases occupational turnover rates; and fosters socio-economic equity and inclusion. We are extremely excited to have David and Tranice share their knowledge as part of CBP Connects.

Co-Founder and CEO of Trace Brewing Company in Pittsburgh, PA joins us this episode to talk about the young brewery, his personal journey to founding Trace, how they are taking action to promote diversity in the beer world, and much more. A large chunk of our conversation centered around Trace Brewing's Vocational Program, which offers six month paid internships at the brewery to candidates from underrepresented communities and those who would otherwise encounter steep barriers to entry into the beer industry. Honestly, this episode is more than worth it for just that conversation alone. Plus, we played a Holiday themed general trivia game in Happy Fun Time, all about Christmas movies and music, in a sharp break from tradition. Through it all, we… actually didn't drink much because this was recorded on a Monday night. Do you love Beer Busters? Of course you do!

After glassware, Nick introduces a segment about what you bring to dinner at a friend's house and this basically drives the rest of the episode. Obviously we lean on the “craft beer” aspect but this conversation keeps us guessing the whole time. We wrap up this episode with a shoutout to Hop Culture. (Juicy Brews 420 coming soon!) We wrap with the normal shoutouts and a good ole cheers! Thanks for listening!

Episode 127 : Happy Holidays! Nick, Jake and Alex are back this week to bring you our holiday episode! We start off this episode by talking about some random stuff, but we soon get to our first segment this year : The Best and Worst of Christmas Movies! Jake goes first and has some “unpopular opinions” for all of us. Nick gives his opinions next and Alex takes the cop out response and sides with Jake's picks. The Christmas movie debate leads us down the road of watching the bad hallmark movies and straight to streaming holiday movies. Jake asks what actor we would choose to be the star in a Christmas movie next and this one spiraled out of control. Alex leaves early and Nick and Jake continue on as we talk about our giveaway featuring @creeksidebeer on instagram. Jake and Nick give their best and worst Christmas songs on the tail end of this episode. Nick takes a turn and rants about the Beatles for a while and really digs in on his stance. The last segment of the holiday episode is kicked off by celebrating Trace Brewing opening in Bloomfield and we talk about our best and worst gifts we ever received. We wrap up by again thanking our fans and friends for letting us do this podcast.
