Pour Another Round

Cameron & Jonathan have a couple beers with a brewery near Jonathan's hometown of La Crosse, WI. To keep him out of local trouble, I want to clarify that he makes it very clear he isn't FROM La Crosse, but near it! We do get a geography lesson from Jonathan on what exactly the Driftless Region of Western Wisconsin actually is.

Phil from 608 Brewing Company talks about his former home brewing days and the major transition from home brewing to professional brewing. 

Phil admits he's a man of the people, and doesn't always love the beers he brews, but does it for his drinkers! If people will drink it, he'll put aside his own palate preferences and make the best damn beer possible, no matter what! People like candy sours. Phil thinks candy sours are silly. But he may be on to something when he says they're not too bad if you mix bourbon in there.

As an admitted Hop Head, Phil talks about why he really got into home brewing - to make the beers he couldn't actually find locally over a decade ago. He also loves constantly making new beers and getting creative with the ingredients he has in stock.

We also learn about his strategy of collaboration beers with bleeding edge breweries in order to, himself, be a bleeding edge brewer.

Cameron & Jonathan have a couple beers with our first guest, Andrew Fabry, President & Co-Founder of Badger State Brewing Company in Green Bay, WI. 

Andrew gives us a glimpse into the sweaty early days of Badger State when Sam, Mike, and Andrew were brewing their first batch of beer on a sweltering hot summer day, and then moving to their first professional brewing space in a former warehouse locker room. 

We talk about how the three Badger State guys found their passion in beer so much so they quit their other jobs to pursue this dream. 

Badger State may not grow the prettiest hops on-site, but they know how to use professionally-grown ones. Andrew talks about IPAs being his favorite beer style because they’re always evolving as new hops are cultivated.

Pour Another Round hosts, Cameron Teske & Jonathan Eckelberg, introduce you to themselves and their love of beer. 

Cameron lets you in on his fascination with magic (especially when it's performed in a brewery), not-so-humble brags about the book he wrote about beer, and goes on a bit of a rant about "favorite" beers. 

Jonathan shares how PBR supports his family's unique fast-paced hobby, probably mispronounces a Norwegian word after telling everyone of his Norwegian heritage, and requires a few more beers to sing the Laverne & Shirley Theme Song.

They both reflect on their shared passion for story-seeking and traveling. This is what drives their desire to know more about the people and places behind the beers they're drinking. We're very excited to bring you these stories right from the source while sharing a couple beers together.
