- GBM 124 - A Nation, a Brewery and a Lawsuit, with Nicky Yardley of Budvar/ Czechvar
There’s an old quote that goes something like, “Tell me what you eat and drink, and I’ll tell you who you are.” This truly could be applied to any culture, but I think it especially applies to a culture so deeply rooted in their beer that the entire nation owns a brewery. My next guest tells an extra special story because it’s about a nation, their beer and a decades long lawsuit that continues to threaten all of it.
Admittedly, the Czech Republic may not be know for the latest, but it’s definitely one of the greatest when it comes to beer.
I haven’t traveled there yet, but any place where people care about each other, their beer and taking their time to do it right, just sounds amazing.
A memorable experience is found where craft and culture collide. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together.
For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 124 of Good Beer Matters with Nicky Yardley of Budvar.

57 min - GBM - 123 Preserving The Real Ale Experience with Deven and Avara Roberts of Porter Brewing
Sure, I’d love to take a trip to Britain, find a pub and settle into an old wooden chair with a pint of real ale in my hand. But if you end up on the American West coast, specifically in Central Oregon, that same UK experience is waiting for you. My next guests are keeping up with traditional ale, and are here to remind us why it matters.
I understand consumers don’t want what’s old. We want the new and we want it now. Cask ale might seem a thing of the past, but it ought to be a thing of the future. It may be something our grandmothers and grandfathers drank, but frankly, I think granny and gramps were on to something.
A memorable experience is found where craft and culture collide. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together.
For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 123 of Good Beer Matters with Deven and Avara Roberts of Porter Brewing.

1 hr 8 min - GBM - 122 Defining a Beer Destination with Karen and Kent Killough of Vista Brewing
Many of us are fortunate to have to choose between a number of breweries near our home. And, beer travel has not only become a thing, but planning destinations around access to beer is a normal criterion. But, with good beer becoming so ubiquitous, how do we find those out of the way and worth-staying-for-awhile experiences that stand out above the rest? My next guests have a tip or two to share with you when it comes to seeking out a truly great beer destination.
There are beers perfect for every day drinking and there are some that are better reserved for special occasions. The same goes for breweries. Some are great for any ole occasion, and some are better for truly memorable experiences. If you haven’t yet experienced the difference, then I urge you to put Vista Brewing, south of Austin Texas on your beer bucket list.
A great experience lies at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together. For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 122 of Good Beer Matters with Karen and Kent Killough of Vista Brewing

1 hr 7 min - GBM 121 - The Athlete And The Beer, With John Walker of Athletic Brewing
I’m going to level with you. I originally didn’t want to get into beer as a profession. I was an athlete and associated the beer business with excess and a growing belly. Not only was I wrong, but my next guest proves that athleticism and beer can go hand in hand.
Between alcohol and abstinence lay nothing more than a foul-tasting stigma. At least, that’s how it used to be. Alcohol is still a choice, but flavor and experience don’t have to be compromised in the wake of that choice.
Either way, we can have our beer, and drink it too.

59 min - GBM 120 - Spreading Good Vibes, with Scott Hansen of Island Brands
I wish you and I could have been there, sailing the Straits of Florida toward Cuba, when the idea came to my next guest. An idea that serves a niche, solves a problem, and promotes better living. My next guest tells the origin story of the raddest fast-growing lifestyle beer brand today.
Beer is like a tool. And there’s the right tool for every job. Sometimes we need a high-gravity Barrel Aged blah-de-blah. And sometimes we need something lighter and more refreshing to get the job done. But, if beer is a tool, doesn’t it depend on the knowledge and talent of the user to construct a great experience?

1 hr 3 min - GBM 119 - For The People And The Beer of Ukraine with Certified Cicerone® and author, Lana Svitankova
With the Good Beer Matters Podcast, I intended to keep the stories about beer and not about the news. Sometimes these two intersect. Sometimes there are news stories that are far bigger than beer. This time, however, it’s through the heartache of war, that we find the story of a people and their beer.
For this episode, I need to step out of my usual routine and ask everyone listening to support the end of the war in Ukraine and anywhere else. I’m not naive, bad stuff happens in the world. But there’s a better way to deal with differences. Maybe, just maybe, if we put Ukrainian Golden Ale on the negotiations table, we’d have a better chance.
A great experience lies at the intersection of craft and culture. These are the stories of us, of great food and the beer that brings it all together. For the Craft and Culture of Beer, this is episode 119 of Good Beer Matters with Certified Cicerone® and writer from Ukraine, Lana Svitankova.

1 hr 10 min - GBM 118 - The Beer Experience in India with Advanced Cicerone®, Anudeep Mutyala
When we think about beer and beer culture, our thoughts naturally drift toward the classics and the current global beer hot spots. But, as we look to the future, this is all going to change. My next guest is one of these change-makers, and the first Advanced Cicerone in India.
As we travel the world, or at least watch travel shows from our couch, we gain a sense of other cultures. Like Anthony Bourdain told us, “You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together.” Just make sure you wash it down with a great beer from wherever you are.

58 min - GBM 115 - To Drive Or Not To Drive. That Is The Question, with Justin Thompson of Think Twice
The stats show that about every 45 minutes someone will die from an alcohol-related vehicle crash. In 2020, more than 11,500 people died in alcohol-impaired traffic deaths. And, these aren’t always the ones who’re impaired. We’ve all heard the stories, and maybe even some of us have been at the point where we probably shouldn’t have driven after drinking. My next guest is here to educate us on this issue and help ensure we all get home safely.
