Thanks to Shaun at More Brewing, I got to piggy back on his collab with Bottle Logic and get a conversation in with Wes, Dylan, Brandon, and Steve from BL! Their beers are legendary in the secondary and trade market, so talking to them during FOBAB week just seemed to make sense.  Just an awesome group of humble guys who are still having fun after 5 years!

Episode 61 - Bottle Logic

Focusing on local Chicagoland breweries and bottle shops, Average Joe's is a podcast about the stories behind the beer.  The shop owners, head brewers, taproom managers, and customers all have a story to tell.  What we try to do is sit down with these folks and hear what inspired them to get into the expanding world of Craft Beer.

Sure, I explain all this verbally and make tons of excuses.  But I have not put out a legit episode since March 2020, I had not recorded a legit episode since Feb 2021, and here I am now putting out an 8 month old episode I finally finished editing.  Well, whatever, I love the guys at Brothership Brewing.  We had a great conversation and we got to hear some dope stories and drink insanely good beer.  From home brewers, right to the hearts of the SW Burbs beer nerd.  Broship has it working.

Episode 90 - Brothership Brewing

Leading up to Mikerphone's BBA Imperial Bean Spirit, Mike Pallen and I decided to do a little Sunday Morning chat while tasting some delicious new Barrel Aged Bean!  We got a surprise visit from Co-Owner of Phase Three Brewing, Mr. Evan Morris.  A good time was had by all.

Quarantine Content 003 - Sunday Stout Sessions w/ Mike Pallen and Evan Morris

Lockdown sucks, but it sucks less with a little Zoom chat with Alex Lovinggood and Pete from Barn Town Brewing in Iowa.  We recorded this before I went with the Pro License so it was recorded in 2 35+ minute chunks.  We even got guest appearances from Brandon and Amanda Wright (Werk Force) and Steve Miller (Hailstorm).  There were beers chugged and shotgunned and some pretty hilarious conversation.  Now you can even check out the Zoom video recording on my Youtube Channel.

Quarantine Content Episode 002 - Pete and Alex of Barn Town Brewing

Despite my best efforts, I made the choice to move the podcast to a remote setting by hosting it on Zoom Meeting.  Mike Pallen at Mikerphone is deeply entrenched in this New World of To Go/Carryout only due to Covid 19, so I wanted to gets some thoughts from him and give people something to do while we are all locked down and Quarantined.  The crew was awesome enough to accommodate my Podcast request, so here is the Pilot Episode of Quarantine Content!

Quarantine Content Episode 001 - Mike Pallen of Mikerphone Brewing

Just another interesting human to talk to.  Brian Barclay of Barclay Brewing is doing something truly unique, with a completely fresh perspective.  His story is pretty damn cool, and You get to hear from Armando, the beer buyer over at Warehouse Liquors in the South Loop.  We did drink through some pretty high octane stuff, so we may ramble a bit, but man did we have some fun.  We even had an Inception moment with Don't Drink Beer creator, Alex Kidd.  This one should be a fun listen for anybody.
