  • Big headlines and interesting topics get killed by boring banter

    The show usually catches the eye with bombastic headlines and interesting topics to industry pros but almost every episode starts with a lengthy exposition followed by wasting a lot of time on banter and small talk between the hosts on matters that interest no one.

    Sadly I’ve been falling for this every time. The pod needs some re-tooling.

  • Great content

    Love the content and overall coverage. Only thing is that they never explain the acronyms. They just assume everyone knows them imo. I get they probably have explained them in the past but they need to say what they are whenever used.

  • The Best in the Biz For Beer News

Justin, Jess, and Zoe are always on point with their info, and everything is delivered with a little bit of humor and personality thrown in. The interviews are great and always include useful insights. If you work in the beer industry or are curious about what’s going on, this is a must listen.

  • Does anyone listen for quality control

    The content is extremely valuable and is presented in a way and structure that makes the show flow nicely. However, and I understand no one went to school for broadcasting, but there still has to be a minimum level of professionalism, like, right, like, sort of, right like right, like like like like like like… and someone is allergic to the black mold in her home… like like like like like

  • Skip first 8-10 minutes

    Informative content begins after enduring these inauthentic marketing personalities catching up with each other. No value there. Guests are the best part. Maybe guests could host the show?
