InterBrews: A Craft Beer Centric Podcast Based in Texas

Episode 3 of InterBrews Required Drinking has us celebrating a beer first brewed in 1980, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. This Cascade Hop fueled icon of the craft beer movement in America is still a delicious, versatile, easy drinking must have in a beer drinker’s rotation. Though many great local beers and flashy new styles may make it a less often enjoyed brew, as you’ll hear from Keenan and Josh, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is most assuredly Required Drinking.

Episode 2 of Required Drinking is a discussion of Live Oak Hefeweizen. The Austin, Texas brewed delight was part of both Keenan’s & Josh’s craft beer enlightenment. This episode is best enjoyed in the sun with friends with a Live Oak Hefeweizen.

Episode 243 welcomes No Label Brewing‘s Tom Painter to the podcast for the first time. Tom & InterBrews host Josh Stewart discuss the latest at No Label, getting through the new shutdown and therapeutic beer run road trips. How far would you be willing to drive in a day for awesome beer? Turn up the podcast and get to driving for that beer. Thanks for listening. This is InterBrews.

Beer is awesome! That should be obvious, but we really believe all of us could use a reminder from time to time. Keenan Zarling is stepping up to the mic with InterBrews host Josh Stewart to pontificate the greatest beers the planet has ever seen. In this inaugural episode of Required Drinking, Keenan and Josh gush over Saison DuPont. Saison DuPont is a beer that brings to mind thoughts of all the ideals a beer should strive to meet. Enjoy a bottle of this style defining classic while Keenan and Josh go deep, so deep it’ll put the cork and caged bottle of Saison DuPont to sleep. This day was a good day for Required Drinking.

Episode 242 of InterBrews welcomes Caitlin Johnson and Melanie Demi to the show for the first time. You may now these two from their very popular Austin area blogs. Caitlin’s Big World, Small World and Melanie’s Three Dogs, One Bar have been guiding people (and dogs) through the Austin craft beer and social scene for a while and they decided to team up to give the world 512 Brewed, their podcast exploring the world of beer and beyond. Caitlin and Melanie are looking to release an episode a week and are having a blast doing it. We had a fun time chatting up how they plan on approaching the show, approaching the beer, coping with Covid and more. Subscribe to their podcast where ever you get InterBrews and enjoy this Austin/Houston combo episode.

Episode 241 welcomes Keenan Zarling back to the show. What’s the latest with 11 Below? What goes in to being a Dungeon Master worth his salt? What’s the real lesson learned from Star Wars? How’d Keenan’s traps get so beefy? Sour dough? All these questions answered and more, as well as exclusive, super secret, super exclusive conversation and information for InterBrews Patreon subscribers. Enjoy and be amazed! This is InterBrews

Some day soon, we’ll all get to meet at the brewery again and remember the time we were all locked in our homes dreaming about the very moment we are in. Until then, we’ll make the best of isolation with great beer and internet conversation.

Blake Niederhofer is not only making the best of the isolation, he and the crew at Lone Pint Brewery are making the best beer in this situation and you can get some too. They are offering beer to go 7 days a week, everyday noon to 7pm. And they are also giving away Yellow Rose growler fills to front line workers as a way to say thank you, and Lord knows THEY could use a beer!

Episode 239 of InterBrews and another issue of the Covid Chronicles welcomes Buffalo Bayou Brewing founder & CEO Rassul Zarinfar back to the show and Brew Master Ryan Robertson and Account Manager Troy Witherspoon to the podcast for the first time to catch up with Buff Brewing’s response to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Of course it wouldn’t be an episode of InterBrews or a conversation with Rassul if we stayed on topic the entire time and so we didn’t. Business, Society’s Greatest challenges, The Houston Brewery District, Pizza, Whitmeyer’s Whiskey and so much more are touched on in this episode. I can’t wait to get to go have beers with my friends again, but I’m so glad that we are blessed with time and technology to do these shows.

Episode 238 of InterBrews welcomes Alstadt Brewery Head Brewer Craig Rowan to the show for the first time. The Fredericksburg, TX Brewery has been brewing stellar traditional German style beers and bringing home GABF, World Beer Cup and many other medals along the way. Craig discusses all the success and the path taken to achieve it, including his start at Abita Brewing in Louisiana. We talk food and beer pairings, dabble in some sports talk and of course all the current circumstances that are making life how it is right now. We look forward to a time ahead when a visit to the brewery in Fredericksburg is not only possible, but a great way to celebrate freedom once again. Go grab some delicious and award winning Alstadt beer, now available in cans and enjoy. Thanks for listening. This is InterBrews.

Episode 237 welcomes Southern Star’s Omar Viengar back to the show with a very Easter themed episode. Omar and I dig into the Christian approach to beer, discussing our shared faith, answering some of the questions asked by both believers and nonbelievers on the biblical views of alcohol consumption and why we believe beer truly is gift from a loving God. We hope you enjoy this episode of the podcast and wether you share our views or not it gets you thinking about the topics discussed. Happy Easter everyone. God bless and enjoy!
