Beer Talk Today

On this episode of Beer Talk Today, we head out to the new Vintage Brewing Company to try the first three beers produced in the new brewpub, the Weiss-Blau Heffeweizen, Dedication Belgian Abbey style ale, and the Scardey Cat Double Oatmeal Stout. We also talk briefly with brewmaster Scott Manning. Editor's note: I call Scott "Eric" for most of the clip before he corrects me, and I have no idea where I got Eric from.

On part two of this weeks podcast, we return with our panel to taste Lakefront's Local Acre, the first beer since prohibition produced with 100 percent Wisconsin ingredients. We then discuss the viability of "100 percent Wisconsin" as a style, and if Wisconsin beer has a recognizable style when it comes to craft beer. Thanks to all the panelists and The Old Fashioned for hosting us.

On the first podcast of 2010 we've teamed up with Jeff at MBR to discuss an exciting new product, the first craft beer brewed with 100 percent Wisconsin grown ingredients, Lakefront Brewery's Local Acre. We've put together an all-star panel of local food and beverage enthusiasts, including folks from the Underground Food Collective, The Old Fashioned, Fromagination and Blue Mont Dairy, to discuss how beer fits into the local food movement and the broader landscape of Wisconsin produced food. Stay tuned for part two, where we actually get around to tasting the beer.

We're back! Now that we've gotten the swine flu out of our systems, we got a chance to sit down and chat about recent craft beer related experiences and to taste a beer by a brewery that has come up many times on the podcast, but whose beer none of us had ever had, Brewdog. Today we get to try Brewdog's Riptide Stout.
