  • Need a podcast with your beer?

    Mike does a great job of not only introducing us to new breweries, but high lites the people behind the beer. It’s always nice to put a face and a story to the product and Mike is a pro at that. Plus his voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.

Ep. 190 - w/ Cody Sherwood Brewing, Fatherhood & Lager Love
Q: If you could brew with any brewery in the world for a day, where would you go and what would you make?
Maine Beer Co. for their quality and vibe, though daylight constraints might limit drinking; ideally, a collaborative lager with a strong emphasis on accessible, well-attenuated flavors.
Ep. 189 - Brewers' Roundtable: Bridget, Tyler & Yvette — Lagers, Saisons & Good Chaos
Q: If you could collaborate with another brewer, what would you want to create?
The panel considers a joint project that blends lager and hop-forward flavors, with talk of a mixed culture saison or a robust lager as a collaboration, combining different yeast profiles and hop varieties to push creative boundaries.
Ep. 189 - Brewers' Roundtable: Bridget, Tyler & Yvette — Lagers, Saisons & Good Chaos
Q: What change has happened in your professional life since you last appeared on the show?
Bridget discusses returning to brewing after a baby, Tyler shares his promotion to head brewer, and Yvette talks about continuing to develop her flagship Breach Town beer while managing multiple roles. The thread emphasizes growth, balancing family and career, and stepping back into leadership.
Ep 181 - Inside 1852 Brew Co. w/ Jeremy Schultz and Matt Bolden — Soccer, Community & Craft Beer
Q: How does the collaboration with a food-truck model fit the business?
They describe it as a conduit for community: the city required a kitchen to serve beer, but they prioritized partnerships with local trucks to keep the focus on family-friendly, soccer-centered culture while providing varied local cuisine.
Ep 181 - Inside 1852 Brew Co. w/ Jeremy Schultz and Matt Bolden — Soccer, Community & Craft Beer
Q: How did all this come about for Jeremy and Matt at 1852 Brew Co?
