Kentucky Commons Podcast

Nick Garrison, Founder of Foolproof, talks experience-based brewing, name changes, and hot weiners.

Dave Colt and Clay Robinson, co-founders, talk beer names, their work with 3 Floyds, wacky Indiana laws, cold v. warm beer, and Matthew McConaughey.

Michael speaks with Nick Davidson, founder and president of this Evansville brewery. Tin Man, as it turns out, is not a Wizard of Oz themed brewery. We talk Indiana beer, Star Trek, and...Brain Sandwiches.

Dave Engbers, Co-Founder of Founders Brewing Co. (Grand Rapids, MI), joins Michael to discuss bankruptcy and bolt cutters, Kentucky Breakfast Stout and price gouging, and the Brewers Association.

For Prince.

Michael speaks with Garrett Marerro about his past as a financial advisor, the origins of Maui Brewing Company, his work done in the state legislature, and the rise of the craft beer industry on the Islands of Hawaii.

A microbrewery in the middle of nowhere, Phil Young describes to Michael how Hill Farmstead Brewery (Greensboro, VT) has managed to become known as a mecca for the beer nerd community in only six years after receiving Ratebeer.com's World's Best Beer Award.

Michael spoke with Lindsey Roeper, Dream Facilitator of Rivertown Brewery (Cincinnati, OH), about Sours, wholesaling, liquor laws, and much more. Michael is still somewhat awkward in these episodes but he feels like the audio has gotten better.

In Episode 2 of Building Breweries, Michael speaks with Bryant Goulding, Founder and VP of Rhinegeist (Cincinnati), about "The Ghost of the Rhine." Better audio, but we are still working on this podcasting thing so we appreciate your patience!
