Happy New Year! We are officially in the year 2025. I can say that we had a very good 2024 and pray that we will have a just as successful 2025.

This is The Beer Is Fundamental Show. This is Episode 139 and we want to welcome you once again to the NeighBeerHood where craft beer is always the talk of the town. We are your hosts, BT aka O-Beer-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Knight of craft beer and Lady T.

The beer for this episode is the Not You Too West Coast Double IPA by The Veil Brewing Company. It pours a very hazy light amber and you will get an aroma of tropical fruits like grapefruit and pineapple. It has a nice medium body with the taste of pineapple, orange, and grapefruit.

In this episode, we discuss the flux in craft of 2024. We delve into some personal likes and dislikes. In short, we talk about a lot of things. Cheers!

It was everything we expected and more! It was a true Craft Beer and Hip Hop Festival all in one. Hip-Hops Hooray!, was the first hip-hop beer festival in the Midwest. It took place on October 25 & 26, 2024.

The Festival featured over 25 national, regional, and local craft beer brands, including several Black-owned breweries. There was also MCing, DJing, breakdancing, graffiti.

We were able to talk to most of the breweries that were at the festival. We also were able to talk with Woodie Bonds, co-founder of Vine Street Brewing Co. and founder of Hip-Hops Hooray.

These damn hurricanes are putting a hurting on the southeastern part of the United States. We recorded this episode only a few hours after the eye of Hurricane Milton went directly over our house. As veterans of many hurricanes, we can sat that if you sit around waiting for something to happen, you are going to go crazy. You are powerless. So, most people try to be as normal as possible while going through these things. All you can do is pray that you have the least amount of damage that you can have. Our home did not have any major damage.

This episode is dedicated to those who are suffering from the damages of Hurricane Helene and Milton. There are several fundraisers for some of those breweries and organizations that have Go Fund Me pages. They really need your help.

New Origin Brewing was completely destroyed along with Wedge Brewery at Foundation , Zillicoah Beer Company and even plēb urban winery. Please visit their websites and donate toward their recovery efforts.

The beer for this episode is from Burial Brewing. It is The Stillness of a Personal Hell. It is an 8.5% ABV. It’s a medium body with a creamy mouthfeel with a nice crisp finish for an imperial IPA. Nice smell of strawberry and watermelon. The taste of orange, strawberries, candied lemon, and watermelon. It has a light bitter finish. However, the dank of the hops is still there.

The Beer Is Fundamental Show once again arrived in Pittsburgh to attend the Barrel and Flow Festival. This is one of our favorite festivals. There is so much to experience at this festival. It is almost hard to explain. So, we’ll let the show speak for itself.

The Beer Is Fundamental Show was at the Against All Odds Beer Fest hosted by Hourglass Brewing at their Longwood, Florida location. Obeer-Wan Kenobi had to hold it down by himself. Lady T was out of town. Yet, you still get the great feeling of being at a great beer festival. Thanks for listening. Cheers!

We had the pleasure to have a few beers at Garage Beer Company in Barcelona. We met a couple of the representatives from Garage back in April. We promised them that we would stop by and do a show from their taproom. We did just that. This show is kind of choppy. So, we ask for your forgiveness in advance. Cheers!
