  • Conversations Over Beer

    Longtime listener, first time reviewer: I love the witty banter and candid conversations that happen over beer & this podcast is no exception to the rule.

    There’s a little bit of chaos mixed in with the conversation that I feel appeals to a curious beer drinker like me as well as people working in the brewing space.

    Augie’s “often wrong, always confident” mannerisms paired with John’s journalistic prowess makes this podcast a favorite listen of mine.

    Keep up the great work, fellas! Cheers!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 595 - Wood Mott, Tributary Brewing
Q: What inspired the big, high-ABV stout project and how did you manage the brewing logistics?
The inspiration came from a desire to push the boundaries of the existing Mott the Lesser framework, leveraging a high-gravity mash, a two-day brew, and strategic yeast pitching to achieve a complex, barrel-aged-like profile without sacrificing drinkability. Logistics were tackled by improvising the mash setup, using a 15-barrel system, and planning aging trials with different barrels to extend flavor and body.
Episode 594 - End of Summer Catch Up and Letters
Q: How did the show format evolve to include fan letters and longer catch-up segments?
The hosts explain that early production choices, including Cass's role as audio engineer and the decision to move toward a more conversational, reader-letter-driven format, helped create a structure that balances beer talk with personal storytelling and listener engagement.
Episode 593 - Adam Goodwin, Charles Towne Fermentory
Q: So, where do you feel Charleston places in the pantheon of craft and what these guys are doing and how these little pockets of cool beer drinking culture?
Charleston has grown into a focused, F&B town with a smaller, highly enthusiastic beer crowd; the challenge and opportunity is balancing accessibility with craft integrity.
Episode 589 - Mike Fielding, Low Tide Brewing
Q: What motivated Low Tide to pursue a new brewery site and what are the long-term goals?
Mike explains they needed a stable, owned space to avoid rent volatility and to sustain growth beyond a short-term lease, along with plans to expand both production and on-site programming.
Episode 584 - Matt Bellemare, Clocktown Brewing
Q: When you came in, how many recipes did you inherit and how nimble can you be with the menu?
Matt describes inheriting a core set of recipes, the balance between keeping some staples and experimenting with new beers, and how ownership directs a few target beers (like a house lager and a hazy IPA) while the rest of the lineup is open to the brewers' creativity.
