Indie beer people are a small group. Not big. Small. They need your support. If you don't feel like supporting independent stuff, just at least leave the people that do, alone.

We talk about this and some other craft beer culture news. Plus: What is thebest beer bar in your state?

We are then joined by Derek Gallanosa, Head Brewer atAbnormal Beer Company. He's a pretty awesome guy. We talked about a lot of beer stuff. Some of them this:The amazing craft beer life that a brewer in San Diego can have.Converting people to craft beer.Do brewers look at your Untappd reviews of their beer.Getting hops from Big Beer.Tells some pretty awesome stories. Along with one that involves a prominent Perfect Pour listener.

Lots of IPA related drinking happens as we give you some beers to look out for and talk about beers we drank.

Oh, and there are a lot of voicemails. LOTS of voicemails.

This week: We now have to keep our IPAs under 30 days? Crap. The term "indie" in beer doesn't sit well with everybody. And by the way, just so you know: Indie Beer + Indie Beer = Indie Beer. IT HAS BEEN DECIDED!

Mikey is four 'distinct check-ins' away from 1000. Yes, he may finally be hitting puberty. Does he make it to 1000 before the show is over?

Voicemails? Oh we got listener voicemails, people. Sadly some dumbass (Mikey) forgot to play Cody's for two weeks straight, but there are still plenty to listen to. Something for you the listener to take with you: We need a name for Scotty B's IPA he's brewing without hops. Name it!

Well, #IndieBeer is still causing a ruckus. People don't seem to understand why a person would want to choose a good independent brewer over a macro or buyout brewer. We don't understand why people think that's dumb. The struggle is real.The show is still getting a strong amount of listener voicemails, it's damn near taking over things. We are pretty ok with that.Plus, beers to look out for and beers we were caught drinking in the past week. AND Mikey is tempted buy a Ballast Point can.CLICK TO LISTEN!: PerfectPourPodcast135.mp3 52.3 MB 01:54:00 Some Explicit LanguageKEY LINKING YO!

This week on the show, we finally tell our side of the Big #IndieBeer Battle of 2016. Sorry, you don't get to be cool, Big Beer, and we're going to give you some shizz about it.It's always fun when we get to sink out teeth into a topic we are passionate about and we can get pretty passionate about beer.There's some other stuff too. Did we get tickets to Firestone Walker Invitational? Maybe... but we give some tips for those that want to show up in town but don't have tickets. What happens when your taproom doesn't have a permit for guest taps? Beers to look out for and we long for the days of crank calling.Stay to the end for your Barly cheers... Wait, WHAT!? This episode is over two hours?! That's so indie.CLICK TO LISTEN!: PerfectIndiePour134.mp3 59.2 MB 02:09:26 Some Explicit LanguageKEY LINKING YO! Sign up for the Perfect Pour newsletter Donate to us on Patreon.HOSTED BY: Nick. Matt.

We go nuts with a beer drinking device called The Sonic Foamer, does it actually give you more head...for your beer?Plus, people are opening satellite tap rooms, is this a new trend? What is truly a local beer? We try to figure out if it's legal to check in twice on Untappd with the same growler and New Belgium is still scaring us. Plus plenty of listener voicemails, beer drinking and beers to look out for.CLICK TO LISTEN: SonicFoamerPour.mp340.5 MB 01:28:41 Some Explicit Language(You can also use the player at the bottom of the post) KEY LINKINGYO!

Where is your 'sweet spot' of alcohol in a IPA? Is it 6.7%? 7.2%? We may try to figure this out.Also this week: Untappd becomes a 'buyout app', some sad local beer news, what it sounds like when a tangent happens within' a tangent, 'look out' for some new indie beer hitting the market, listen to a lot of voicemails and express a desire for indie canned water.But most importantly: we have fun drinking good beer.CLICK TO LISTEN: UntappdBuyoutAppPour132.mp342.9 MB 01:33:52 Some Explicit Language(You can also use the player at the bottom of the post)KEY LINKINGYO!

We debate whether crowlers are better than growlers. We give tips on drinking mosaic featured IPAs (spoiler alert: drink them quickly). We listen to voicemails. We look out for beers for YOU to look out for. We also drink too much indie beer (is that possible?), so thing kinda get loud and out-of-hand at times - just to warn ya.Ohhh and Matt had to leave a major bottle share to record this episode ... so like ... recognize that ... or something.Direct Download: PerfectPour130.mp351.2mb 1:52 Some Explicit LanguageKEY LINKINGYO!

Large studio gang this week (Justin and Jake From State Farm guest) and that means MORE BEER TO DRINK! And more people to talk indie beer with.It's starts with a new segment called "The Buyout" - because there is a constant stream of Big Beer buying indie breweries so it needs its own time slot. So there's that.We drink a lot of good stuff this week too. Including the dankiest beer we've ever had! Catching up on listener voicemail is hella fun too.Lots of kick ass.
