In this episode Nick and Travis interview a Special Guest to delve into the current craft beer trends, as well as the evolution of craft beer, that brought us to the craft beer scene today. Is craft beer getting boring? Decide for yourself after you listen!

From High School to Podcast Partners - This episode touches on some of our incredible journey of friendship!

Join Nick and Travis as they reminisce about their more than 25 year bond that started in high school and led them to create this amazing podcast. Honestly, we could probably do an entire season just talking about old times we've had together, and telling crazy stories. Instead, we're taking this episode to give you all a little peak behind the curtain to get to know us a little better, and who we are outside the show.

We appreciate everyone who listens, and we can't wait to bring you more great content as we continue forward. This episode is available in video format on our YouTube channel.

You waited for it and here it is! Part 1 of our South Carolina Adventure! Originally everything was going to be a single episode but there was just too much content and there was no way to shrink it down coherently. So here we go, Part 1 of the South Carolina journey with Patrons Billy and Robert. Thank you both, we had such an amazing time with you out on the Hoppy Trail.

In this episode we talk about so many places in South Carolina that we can't list them all here. Check our Instagram over the next few weeks where we'll shout them all out individually.

Stay tuned for Part 2, which we plan on releasing right after this (if everything goes smoothely, which it never does...). And remember to Always say Yes! to the Hoppy Ending! Cheers.

Welcome back Trailmates! In this episode Nick and Travis recap the successes and failures of Thanksgiving dinner, and talk what to do with Thanksgiving leftovers so you don't get bored.

Travis talks about his trip to Cambria for the Christmas Market, as well as his stops into Firestone Walker and Barrel House Brewing in Paso Robles, CA.

This episode is a delayed release 1) to make sure you get the maximum benefit right before Thanksgiving; and 2) because I really, really had a hard time "fixing" some audio issues. Please, please be kind as the audio is exponentially better than it was, and really this episode almost didn't make it to release!

We talk about a lot of breweries, food items, really everything! Remember to give a shoutout to everyone we talk to, and make sure to Alwayus say Yes! to the Hoppy Ending! Cheers.

This is an announcement that your regularly scheduled episode has been pushed to next week. Why? Well because it's a Thanksgiving episode completely stuffed with Thanksgiving goodness and it just makes more sense to release it leading up to the big day. It will have so much amazing content that we assure you it's worth the wait! Check out some good stuff we'll be putting out on the socials this weekend, and fear not, next week you will get your Hoppy Ending! Cheers.
