Brewtal Battle Podcast

Beer social media app Untappd has been around for quite some years now, but recently Good Beer Hunting published an article breaking how it influences the craft beer market, in a problematic way. Carlin and Rebecca talk this one over and give their opinions and insights. Oh yeah, and they taste mystery beers.

With two more mystery beers poured and ready to be tasted, Carlin and Rebecca first tackle a discussion about the upcoming Uber acquisition of alcohol delivery service Drizly. And once the blind tasting happens, Carlin discovers an aroma and flavor in one of the beers that really gains his attention.

Carlin and Rebecca open up with a discussion about exploding beer cans and the impacts of this negative trend of the craft beer industry. Two beers are tasted blind at the end, both from the Chicago area.

Carlin was able to get his hands on a variety pack for a brewery he has enjoyed from afar for many years. Rebecca joins in to help drink through the lineup while Carlin dispenses info about this well-established brewery.

Carlin and Rebecca sit down to tackle a big variants episode they’ve teased a few times over the years. This one features versions of a beloved local beer that has sadly faded out of existence.
