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.

Happy Halloween! Enjoy the team as we review some great beers a classic Toast, Roast, Pour, and a mashup segment of "Looking for Love" and "Law and Order, ILB". This episode is full of "trick or treat" stories from our modern culture. Definitely worth listening to the end!

Due to the election we are all busy voting, but here is a throwback episode to last year during Halloween. Enjoy! 

Hayden and Kyndall Weir are realizing their dream of opening their own place: Weir Beer! The Jeffs get a sneak preview. As expected from Hayden, a North County brewing legend, the beers are fantastic. Even better--the story behind the decision to open their own place and their future plans. Take a listen and then head on over to Weir Beer in Vista. 

The Jeffs mix it up and swing through the doors of Wild West Mead Company in Vista. Co-owner Keith Wiedermann takes them through a Mead 101 course as well as sharing the Wild West Mead story. They were taken by surprise by the Mead offerings. Will the Jeffs be converts? Take a listen to find out! 

This week, Travis Hudson and the Brewers Taproom team in Encinitas have sent a Mystery Bag of beers for the Jeffs to open. Toast, Roast and Pour leads to some questions and answers that just might make the world a better place. Talent brings back Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot and ponders whether modern science "measures" up.

The San Diego beer community is full of good people doing good things. This week the ILB Team sits down with Laura Mello, founder of the Rancho Beernardo Beer Festival, and Melody Campbell, event manager at Burgeon Beer Company to hear about how they are teaming up to do good. We enjoy yet another excellent Burgeon new release as we gear up for beer festival season.

Talent is in his element at So Cal Brewing Supply Company in Vista. Owner Travis Johnson sits down with the Jeffs to share his store and story. From start up kits to hard to find brewing ingredients, Johnson has created a family business with everything the beer lover might need. And if he doesn’t have it, he’ll get it!
