Our New Year's resolution is always the same: support our local breweries and taprooms. To start the year off strong, the Jeffs head over to Beer Town in Oceanside to meet owner Ryan Hood. Beer Town has an impressive lineup of beers--local and hard to find craft brews. Great food and beer to-go options too! Take a listen to hear Beer Town's origin story and commitment to serving the best beer in San Diego.

The D&D adventure for the Golden Hop continues! White Claw Walkers and winos in skinny jeans threaten the quest, but Sir Bob and his dire wolf HoseHead forge ahead with the help of SourCross, Bhric Longhammer and the rest of the intrepid crew. Find out how this epic tale of good (beer) versus evil ends up. 

To close the year and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dungeons and Dragons, we are dropping a double episode of Beer D&D. Join the Jeffs, Doc, Producer Joe and a few special guests as we navigate a fantastic beer-themed campaign. Unlike any other episode, this is an opportunity to enjoy both the world of Dungeons and Dragons and the world of beer. Listen through to the end to find out how the party fares in the seven beerdoms.

We have a new passion: on-location recording! We recorded this week's episode at the Tower 39 Rooftop Bar and invited our listeners to join us. With a sunset that seemed to be choreographed, we enjoyed three amazing local beers and shared laughs and stories with the live audience.  We had a late appearance by Doc who provided a double dose of Beer or Not a Beer then closed the show with a Doc's Crack that will have you laughing long after the episode is over!

The ILB Team is back in studio with the Doctor and the Chico Kid. Which means we are drinking new beers from Sierra Nevada! Everyone brings their A-game to Toast, Roast and Pour. Doc has Beer or Not a Beer? and a brand a new segment. Pour yourself a beer, pull up a barstool and join them.

The ILB Team meets with the man who literally wrote the book on brewery travels. He has visited over 1300 breweries in over 500 US cities in every state! Joel Geier, author of Flights Across America, shares his story and knowledge. Geier has great advice for how to plan and where to go in the quest for amazing beer. 

This week the Jeffs dive into the world of music and how it relates to beer. The Doc joins them providing fantastic color commentary as they review what the local community thinks about what beer pairs best with what music. This is an episode filled with laughs and insights not to be missed!

Join the Jeffs, Joe and the Doctor as they explore beers that taste like pickles and beers that taste like pie. Doctor is in rare form with a Wild Things that will have you rolling and listen to the end to see if you can correctly guess the Beer-or-not-a-Beer!

The Jeffs had a lot more beer to find and friends to make at the Ramona Arts, Wine, Music (and Beer) Festival. In the Ramona Radio portable studio, ILB talk music, beer and community. Smoking Cannon had more beer to share, Nickel Beer brought locally sourced fresh hop ales, and the Jeffs tried Pumpkin Cider from Turquoise Barn Cider. They closed the day chatting with Eric Goforth, Ramona Radio and a discussion about supporting locals. Join us for part two of this great day!

ILB was invited to join the Ramona Arts, Wine and Music Festival. Hosted by Ramona Radio, they found beer, old friends to catch up with and made a few new friends in the beer and music community. Elaine Littleton, Grand Poobah of the festival, shares the history of the event, Smoking Cannon Brewing brought some fantastic brews, and Travis Bobby Ross from the Dirty Confetti Band talks Outlaw Country Music with the Jeffs. Join us for great local beer and some fantastic stories from Ramona.
