It's the summer of supporting local and the CoLab Public House in Vista has been one of the ILB regular haunts since it first opened. The team sits down with Joe Deutsch to hear about the recent changes to the CoLab lineup as well as upcoming events. Steve Michaliszyn of Propaganda Wines pops in to talk about the next beers he's planning on brewing. Apparently the old saying, "it takes a lot of good beer to make wine" is true. The CoLab offers great beer, wine, spirits, food and 'adult' bingo. Take a listen to find out more!

Hey San Diego State fans, this one's for you. Join the Jeffs as they chat with Corbin of Corbin's Q, which is at the location of the old Woodstock's Pizza. Corbin has a great origin story and a lot to share about which beers he has at his place, and why. Definitely worth listening to the end!

The ILB Team heads over to the CoLab Public House in Vista to meet Josh Avila, the new head brewer at Breakwater Brewing. They first met Josh tapping cask ale at Barley & Sword in North Park a year ago. Now Josh has taken on the Breakwater Brewing responsibilities and is finding the balance of staying true to the brand and bringing in his own creativity and insights. ILB hears about Josh's journey in San Diego beer and his vision for the future. Pull up a barstool and take a listen!

 It's time for the State of Beer Mid-Year Report with San Diego Beer News founder, Brandon Hernandez. The Jeffs meet Brandon for a pint in Rancho Bernardo at Abnormal Beer Company. Nobody knows more about San Diego beer than Brandon Hernandez! Lots of changes and surprises in San Diego Beer, but the state of beer is "better than you might think". What does that mean? Pull up a barstool and take a listen to find out. 

The ILB Team returns to Oceanside and visits The Mill Room to talk about South O beer, cocktails and food with Jack Everett. The space, food and drink experience is impressive, and so is the vision Jack and partner Trevor Whitehead have brought to this new venture. As always, they've done it all with a commitment to their community and true to the Oceanside vibe. With a little prodding, Jack shares a "Moment in Beer" that rivals Trevor's great stories. Take a listen to hear more about new beers, upcoming events, The Mill Room, and zip ties. 

Full house this week in the studio! Tom shares some beers and stories from recent travels. The Jeffs bring the laughs with classic toast, roast and pour and an installment of WTF. Listen to the end to hear an entirely new segment called What's in a Name!

Celebrating Joe's trip to Rome, Influencer shares a bit about the history of Popes and beer, Joe shares about moped antics in Rome and the whole team honors Norm (George Went) from Cheers. Definitely an enlightening episode:)

The ILB Team finally makes it to Booze Bros. First they hear the origin story from the Minister of Fun, Josh Thompson who has been with Booze Bros since the beginning. Then they sit down with head brewer, Garrett Perkins, to find out about what's brewing and upcoming releases. Booze Bros Gonzo-style has ensured they infuse fun and creativity into everything they are doing. Food, fun, friends and great beer are the constants in a brewery not afraid to make changes! 

The Doctor is back, and that means so is Wild Thing! The team enjoys an XPA from the newest Mira Costa Brew Tech cohort, a collaboration beer from Artifex and Mother Earth, and Harland's CroneZone. Talent has Toast, Roast and Pour updates and Doc takes them on a wild ride including Beer or Not a Beer and a peek at his craic. Beer may or not have been shot out of noses by the end. Cheers!

Join the boys for another "guerrilla" field trip, this time to BattleMage Brewing. Listen to one of our better Toast, Roast Pours, followed by a great interview with Julia, a beertender and former student of Influencer. This is a fun episode worth listening to the end. Enjoy!
