Welcome to Focus on the Beer's first podcast of 2018. It's been awhile since we've talked beer, so we cover a bunch of information...a ton.

Smuttynose Brewing put up for auction

Green Flash cutting 15% of its workforce and reducing its distribution

Mendocino/Olde Saratoga breweries abruptly closed

Great Storm Brewing changing hands

Dueces Wild Brewing set to open

Brass Brewing nearing opening, starting a kickstarter

Brewers Republic closing, then miraculously reopening as a part of Cerberus

Big Beers Belgians and Barleywines recap

The Little London Show's Dryanuary Party

and More!

Beer in this episode:

Smiling Toad Brewery Tangerine Hazy IPA

This episode, we sit down with Mike Centanne and Chase Perry from Metric Brewing. Listen in as we catch up with the two on the progress in opening a brewery and drink some good beer in the process...

Our latest episode features Taylor Donner of Cerberus Brewing. Taylor recently became an Advanced Cicerone, so we decided to have him on to talk about how that works and what he's got planned for the future. Also, we drink through some beer memberships and talk about those in case you're looking for a good holiday gift for the beer lover in your life.

EP-052: Coming out of the Post-GABF Haze... by Focus on the Beer

This episode we see if we can discern between New Belgium's new Fat Tire Belgian White and Blue Moon...it doesn't go well—for us.

Don't take that title to heart. We sat down and talked beer with Phantom Canyon's brewers Alan Stiles and Troy Johnson and learned a thing or two about them and had some laughs along the way.

We've overdone the IPA drinking on this show, so we're definitely ready for some imperial stouts and belgian beers. Bring it on!
