We are back at it after a summer off. Dan, Brian and Scott dust off the Pod Cave and to get the 'cast back rolling. In this episode, we chat on our future plans, Dan's awakening in the Land of Fire and Ice, and various other South Shore Beer related coming and goings. Cheers!

The three of us grab a few pints to check in and recap what we are seeing in these odd times and discuss the things we have planned now that our schedules have cleared up a bit. Cheers!

Dan, Brian and Scott struggle with transition and sit down to talk about some interesting industry news such Treehouse's new pickup system at the Prudential Center, brewery closings and consolidations, all the while sampling some Trillium that UPS delivered. Interesting times indeed. Cheers!

A new South Shore brewery is imminent! Red Hand Brewing is about to open in Lakeville! This Saturday (10/19/24) at 4PM, their doors will be open to the public! A month or so ago, we sat down with two of the three founders, Brian and Karen Donnelly, to talk about what their spot will be all about. Sneak preview - it's going to be beyond your typical tap room. They will feature their own handcrafted brews, other local craft beer offerings and other tasty spirits. Something for everyone! The location is epic as well, with a beautiful taproom featuring lovely lake views.

Harper Lane's new brewery is open and it's awesome! We sit down for a few pints with owner, head brewer and genuine nice guy Mike Pasalacqua in his new brewery and discuss how it all came to be. Until a few months ago, Mike had been a Tenant brewer for 6+ years and has finally realized his dream of opening a wonderful brewery in the South Shore of Massachusetts, Middleborough to be exact. We discuss his journey, transforming a garage into a beautiful brewery with his father and their 4 hands, his brewing philosophy, the challenges of 2-2-1, and the importance of quality ingredients. Cheers!

Much like the Pilgrims, Brian and Scott stopped into Plymouth, MA in search of good beer. We hooked up with Matt Elder and Mike Dyer at the new Cordage Park location. What a spot they've built!

We've got a new brewery in the south shore - 42nd Brew Co. We sit down in their wonderful new taproom in Kingston with co-owners Stephen Darby, Paul Schiele and Matt Ward and get the scoop on the brewery, their Kill the Keg action, their emphasis on design, the bell, and their future plans. In some ways, their origin story is familiar (homebrew guys and a firepit) and in other ways it is definitely not (listen and find out). In any event, you'll be hearing more about this brewery from us for sure and probably from others who know a good brewery when they see one. These guys are onto something big. Cheers!
