Barley & Me

Barley & Me host Ben Rice joins co-host and chef Phil Webster for episode 3 of Hoops & Hops, a discussion of old- and new-school NBA basketball and beer. Episode 3 was recorded at New Helvetia Brewing in Sacramento, CA. As we discussed the NBA reopen, we drank a Crowns & Hops Black Is Beautiful Pecan Pie stout. We then crowned our best performers from the first 10 days of NBA action, before delving into a comparison of Gary Payton to a beer. To assist, Dave Gull of New Helvetia busted out his GABF gold medal winner, Thurston Adambier. We also realign our expectations for the rest of the year and pick our new frontrunners for the 2020 NBA Finals. Enjoy!

Leonard Malting is the beer-focused movie review offshoot of the Barley & Me Podcast, featuring B&M host Ben Rice, plus co-hosts Corky McDonnell (Dare Daniel Podcast) and Paulina Olivares (Pink Boots Society). In this episode, we discuss the 1993 indie stoner comedy classic Dazed & Confused. Known as a weed movie, Ben argues it might actually be a beer movie. We break down break-out roles, high school hazing, and the bygone lazy days of summer. Plus! We drink a variety of Black Is Beautiful beers (cheers to Oak Park, Urban Roots, and Bike Dog Brewing for the provisions) and F* Cancer IPA from Silver Moon Brewing.
If you have a beer-centric or heavily-beer-involved movie recommendation, let us know and maybe we’ll do this again!

Host Ben Rice chats with "Doctor" Bill Sysak of San Marcos's Wild Barrel Brewing about their recent distribution expansion, fatherly love, the "San Diego style" of brand building, and failed homebrew experiments. Plus! The secrets about hazy IPA that no brewer wants you to know, shared love of saisons and Berliner weisse (it might finally be a THING!), and turning fandom and friendship into career opportunities. NOT TO MENTION a very special Wild Barrel news release, the difference between kettle sour and classic mixed/spontaneous fermentation, and the hidden evils of the modern bottle share. All this and so much more, on episode 130 of Barley & Me. Enjoy!

Barley & Me host Ben Rice teams up with Sacramento chef Phil Webster to talk basketball and beer, in episode 2 of Barley & Me Presents: Hoops & Hops! Today, we build on the foundation of episode one by selecting the Sacramento Brewery Dream Team's version of Isiah Thomas, who was infamously left off the original Dream Team for a variety of alleged reasons. Then we tackle the new craft beer hotness: Milkshake IPA - what players past or present match this profile? We also do a deep dive on Dirk Nowitzki to determine his beer equivalent and discuss unathletic white guys drafted too high and their inevitable comparisons to Larry Bird. Plus! The NBA is coming back! Who do we see in the Finals and how can audiences enjoy fanless b-ball? Why John Salley, who has won championships with 3 different teams, is the best part of Bad Boys, and hey, Martin Lawrence in the 90s was unfuckwithable! SMASH beers! And a fileting of the Sacramento Kings for the ages. All this and more, on the latest episode of Barley & Me Presents: Hoops & Hops. Enjoy!
This episode’s beers were Campus Brewing’s Easy A West Coast IPA (@campusbrewingcompany) and Offshoot Beer Co’s Relax (It’s Just a Hazy IPA) (@offshootbeerco)

Host Ben Rice travels to Claimstake Brewing in Rancho Cordova, CA, to talk to Marcus Baskerville, brewer at Weathered Souls Brewing in San Antonio, TX, about his history with beer, from hating it to tolerating it to home brewing to professional brewing to ownership, and the creation of the wonderful worldwide Black Is Beautiful Initiative and Black Is Beautiful Imperial stout. We talk first beers, first beer loves, family, and dedication to the craft. Joining us intermittently is a menagerie of area brewers, to assist in a Black Is Beautiful collaboration brew. We also have a very special guest drop-in that will go unnamed but that you should absolutely check out. Enjoy!

Introducing Barley & Me's first-ever foray into movie reviews! Barley & Me host Ben Rice (codename: Leonard Malting) discusses the 2013 "romantic comedy" "Drinking Buddies" with co-hosts Paulina Olivares (Pink Boots Society Sacramento) and Corky McDonnell (co-host of the Dare Daniel Podcast) to break down this star-studded (Olivia Wilde! Jake Johnson! Anna Kendrick! Ron Livingston! Jason Sudeikis! catastrophe. We discuss running themes of intimacy gone awry, the intricacies of improvisation, and Chicago craft beer in 2013! We hope you enjoy this podcast more than we enjoyed the movie.

Thanks so much for listening.

Barley & Me host  Ben Rice is using this COVID-19 shutdown to give brewers time to re-focus their businesses to handle this new reality. So, he's reached out to some of his friends to experiment with beer-ish content! Hoops & Hops, with co-host Phil Webster (@culinarylando on IG), pairs the aggressive defense and death-defying dunks of 80s and 90s NBA basketball with aggressively-hopped IPAs. Today, we discuss Michael Jordan and ESPN's "The Last Dance" over an Urban Roots All Together IPA, a worldwide collaboration started by Other Half NYC to support service industry workers. We also discuss our adolescent NBA fandom, why power forwards are the porters of the NBA, compare Hall of Fame players to beers, and design our very own Sacramento County brewery Dream Team, including what position each brewery plays and why. It's a ton of fun and I hope you enjoy it, because Phil and Ben sure did. Hit us with your region's brewery Dream Team and let us know who you want to have compared to beers for future Hoops & Hops episodes! Cheers!

Host Ben Rice gets his chance to talk to a few craft hop growers, Carla Wosoba (Wosoba Farms Hops) and Clinton Hirschfeld (Hirschfeld Hops), as well as comedian Amy Estes. We discuss side hustles (fun fact: hop farmers, comedians, and podcasters need primary sources of income when they're starting out), getting started in a secondary project, and how they found their true calling. Plus! How the hop growing business really functionings, including some surprising limitations and stressors; how to "eat" Grape Nuts; and a trip down high school memory lane! Oh, bonus fun fact! All the guests today have backgrounds in K-12 education and we discuss COVID-19's effects on our education system and where it's going next! All this and more, on episode 128 of Barley & Me. Enjoy!

Host Ben Rice chats with Canadian musician/producer/craft beer enthusiast Jordon Zadorozny of pop-rock band/solo project Blinker the Star, to discuss Canadian craft beer, as well as the parallels and dichotomies of the craft beer scene and the music scene from the early 90s to today. We go down Ben Rice's rabbit hole of fandom, as a means to end regarding a discussion of creativity, growth, expansion, and the effects of the internet on beer and music. We talk Failure and failures, big budgets and limited releases. Plus! Jordon's/Blinker the Star's latest release, and his/its upcoming next record. It's incredible to hear how beer has evolved through the eyes of a musician who also watched the rise and fall of the music industry. Thank you to Jordon for lending me his time. Enjoy!
