Lager Layover

PHX Beer Co. is a multi-location brewing powerhouse in Arizona's capital city of Phoenix. On top of having a killer lineup at their downtown tap room and production brewery, they also boast a solid distribution network and brewpub concepts in Phoenix and Scottsdale.

We spoke to Brewery Director Adam Wojcik nto long after their grand opening in late 2019, well before COVID-19 hit. In this, interview, you'll learn a bit more about the brewery, who they are and what they're brewing, and the questions I had when the building was home to the Phoenix Ale Works.

Welcome to Arizona!

Lager Layover enters its next state with a trip to the city of Flagstaff, AZ, happily situated along Route 66. Dark Sky is one of many breweries in the city, but is one of the absolute best with a wide variety of inventive beers.

We sit and chat with Co-Owner and Brewer Bryan Sandlin, along with bartenders Alex Dangerfield and Miguel Guzman (also their Social Media Manager) about the state of Arizona beers, how cold it gets in Flagstaff, and that ultra cool countertop of theirs.

We are back with our final episode from Kansas City!

North Kansas City, to be exact. A little place carving out an awesome niche of nightlife, restaurants, and breweries in a formerly industrial-only section of town. One of those breweries is Calibration Brewery, and in Nov. 2019 we sat down with Dr. Laers Malburg, scientists and Calibration's brewmaster.

Listen to our conversation about their beers, his background brewing in college, and the explosive growth of the Kansas City beer scene.

We're staying in Kansas City for today's episode of the Lager Layover podcast,


We recently sat down with Brian Kaltenbach, Taproom and Marketing Manger at Strange Days Brewing, about their love for soccer (or football if you really need to call it that), The Big Lebowski, and collaborating with local light transit, with only the occasional interruption from construction elsewhere in the building.

On today's episode of the Lager Layover podcast, we are heading to Kansas City's biggest and most storied brewery, Boulevard Brewing. Plus I ended up being there a few days before their 30th anniversary!

Listen to our conversation with Annie and Kyle as we talk about the meaning behind the name, Boulevard beers you can only find in the region, and just how good the Mexican food is in the City of Fountains.
