  • 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.

  • 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?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RNDC's Dismantling; Plus Eco Beverages and Russian River
Q: What is Extended Producer Responsibility and why should brewers care now?
EPR shifts packaging waste responsibility to producers, with state-by-state rules and deadlines; brewers need to gather precise packaging data, understand exemptions, and register with the appropriate programs to avoid penalties, with options for collaborative cohorts to manage the burden.
CBC Week + a Blockbuster Brewery Deal
Q: What are the core components of the Stone Brewing deal and what will change hands?
The brand IP, the Stone Brewing World Gardens at Liberty Station, and multiple taprooms will transfer to Firestone Walker and Duvel USA, while Sapporo moves production to Richmond as the headquarters hub for Stone before transitioning post-close to other facilities; leadership and staff will be reorganized to align with the new owners' footprint.
Wrapping Up CBC 2026; Plus, Chats with Carbon Copy, Brewers of PA and Love City
