This week’s guest is the incredible and cool as hell Chloe Girouard-Martel of OEC Brewing. Chloe is notable for only being a rad person working in beer, but for also being a rad horticulturalist in beer. OEC Brewing sounds like an immediate roadtrip for me so hold on while I get some money together to … Continue reading "Episode 54 – Chloe Girouard-Martel of OEC Brewing"

This week’s guest is the lovely Karen Hertz of Holidaily Brewing Company out in Golden, CO. Karen’s brewery is one of the eight certified gluten-free breweries in the United States.

Summer is here! Time to drink beer! (Hey, I made a rhyme!) Kicking off my summer episodes is an interview with Kristin Scott, one of the owners/founders of Odd13 Brewing in Lafayette,  Colorado. With a cool comic book feel and an incredibly impressive taplist (like, seriously, I am agog), Odd13 sounds the place to be … Continue reading "Episode 52 – Kristin Scott of Odd13 Brewing"

This week’s episode features a chat with one of their co-founders, Betsy Lay. It … Continue reading "Episode 51 – Lady Justice Brewing"

It’s a check-in, guys, as I have been busy with a J-O-B here in Kingston. But we’re back in the saddle next Friday with Lady Justice Brewing!

Oh man, today’s episode comes to you with a bit of backstory! I interviewed Laurie two weeks ago (!!) and learned afterwards that my recording program didn’t, uh, record it. And since Laurie has a lot on her plate these days, it took a while to reschedule and record. It happened and then I learned … Continue reading "Episode 50 – Laurie Porter of Smog City Brewing"

The lion part will be a month … Continue reading "Mini-episode for March 2nd: In like a lamb and out like a lion"

Today’s guest, Emily Bennett, traveled to over 300 craft breweries in 2017 in her home state of Michigan. That, my friends, defines Living the Dream. (Well, it does for me, I can’t speak for you.) I talk to Emily about how her plan came to fruition, as well as some of the best beers tasted … Continue reading "Episode 49 – Emily Bennett aka Mitten Beer Girl"

Cyrena Nouzille is the owner of Ladyface Ale Companie. Since 2009, they’ve been serving up casual yet classic French fare as well … Continue reading "Episode 48 – Cyrena Nouzille of Ladyface Ale Companie"

Go have a listen … Continue reading "Episode 47 – Regan Long of Local Brewing Company"
